Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Why does Fetterman, the largest senator, not simply eat the other senators?

That's awesome, as is everything I know about fetterman.

It is very strange how much life has changed since even this extremely dated reference was made.

My kid just started kindergarten. The principal and some of his teachers have visible tattoos.

My kindergarten teacher was an ex nun who refused to let me write with my left hand.

One of my wife's coworkers used to be in a death metal ~~ska~~ band and has the piercings to prove it.

Though he is considerably less badass in a 9-5 office, but it does make you wonder what he has playing on his headphones all day.

Is death metal ska band a contradiction in terms?

Aw man, I wanted to hear a death metal ska band

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's really upbeat music with brass instruments and the lyrics are about murdering babies with chainsaws.

I heard your senator went into the senate and ate everything in the senate and they had to close the senate!

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Am I out of touch?

No! the constituents are wrong!

I yield the rest of my thyme.

They must be saving that for Sweeps Week.

[–] Foggyfroggy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

He already started, this is why he is the size of two mortal men. He hasn’t reached his final form

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
