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!

The Poutine accord: Hereby written and to be enshrined into law and agreement: upon the rescission of tariffs previously imposed by individual-1 and a public apology, Canada hereby announces it's intention to restore fair market to all previously limited American products and make available upon the fulfillment of the following condition: Ingesting no blood control medication or compounds designed to aid in the ease of digestion or control levels of cholesterol, individual-1 agrees to, upon witness by present representative of Canadian government and the livestream thereof, consume no fewer than 8(eight) servings of Poutine a day, each serving weighing no less then 330 grams (or 2 pounds, if you insist on using imperial measurements.) This condition will apply until the length of time elapses equivalent to the length of time between when the excessive tariffs were enacted until the time of their removal.
In the unlikely circumstance that a serving is not streamed for viewing a recording of the event will be accepted as long as the Canadian representative is visible in the frame and there is irrefutable proof of the current date provided. Should these criteria be unable to be met also acceptable is doubling either the (a) serving size of the remaining servings constituting the remainder of the agreement of the (b) amount of servings per day.
The undersigned parties agree to stated terms fully and without reservation.
