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!

This guy rambles like an old man who’s read too much Facebook.

Truth social, Facebook's meth head relative nobody likes to talk about

Facebook just recommended some idiot claiming Taylor Swift is a dude. I don't even want to imagine what's happening over at truth.

He's just telegraphing that she is okay to kill.

They started at pedophiles, because functionally nobody will defend them, even as people openly advocate their murder.

They'd like to be able to use the same rhetoric with the LGBT community, but they'd lose all their plausible deniabilty. So instead, everyone on their list of undesirables is suddenly a pedophile and therefore okay to kill. It's why suddenly drag queens, teachers, Biden and anyone else they don't like is somehow a "groomer", even as their own ranks get arrested for fucking kids.

This is just another step on the same path. Taylor Swift is a threat to Trump so now she is secretly trans and all her young fans have been groomed.

And somewhere out there is a Republican-voting, unmedicated schizophrenic conspiracy theorist with an AR-15 who knows exactly what to do with a groomer.
