Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I'm so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?
when your entire ideology is based on opposition to what the people you hate are in favor of, well…
Key & Peele covered this pretty well

Good bot.

Hey thanks, SatansMaggotyCumFart!
i have somehow never seen this before. lmao. the dude cutting his tongue off was amazing
You might like the series of Luther, Obama's anger translator skits they did.
I loved this bit and how accurate and hilarious it still is. But must admit I'm a huge fan.
Especially 'Luther' the Anger Translator had me in stitches. Just rewatched and still laughing after all those years.
Dude cutting off his tongue was too much
The upbeat background music is killing me in this video, but I also can't help but think that MGT is saying these things with a positive voice inflection. Like, this isn't the wind-up to a "AND THIS IS BAD" shoe being dropped at the end of her cadence. I'm fully surprised at how benevolent her tone of voice is here in describing anything about Biden given her other howler-monkey tendencies.
I detected a hint of sarcasm / sneer in her tone at "urban problems", but yeah, she really lacks any self awareness at all.
Yeah I could definitely tell that "urban problems" was supposed to be a racist dogwhistle
If you say people and companies are 'woke' then you hate all these things.
I wonder if we could get right-wingers to brand themselves as "Napsters" because they're not "woke".
The irony is that the same people twenty years ago were telling everyone to wake up.
20?!? I remember the “wake up sheeple” being quite prevalent during the pandemic.
Yea, the lack of judo flipping these things culturally always surprised me. Seems so easy to do but nobody does it. These groups rely on strong actions, behaviors and beliefs. That's why when one does it they all have to. Like flying flags. Culture jam and gas light them about their identity would be the funniest thing. Take that one idiot that harasses target stores over lgqtb. There is nothing that stops people from also making memes of him reinforcing things like respecting each other and other cool messages to treat LGQTB community with love
Shake up weebles!
Weebles are only meant to wobble. Do not shake the weebles. They will become frightened.
rumble B-A-A-A-A
Someone who was paid to read things written in English phonetically without understanding what the clumps of syllables actually mean.
The fact that you're confused by this just means that yor brain is working correctly.
Meet the Republicans!
The GOP, nazis, kkk, Christians, business people. The list goes on, but you hopefully get the point
