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!

“Deep state”? What a moron.
Gabbard, you imbecile, you are the deep state now.
Maybe deep state means anyone that actually knows what they're doing. Like how woke now means anyone with empathy.
I think I'll let them have the word woke because it was practically meaningless anyway. They're the "woke right" with their policing of speech, their attempts to rewrite history, etc, etc etc.
Edit: they do everything they accused the "woke left" of but for real... I saw they were even getting concerts cancelled because the performer wasn't supportive of the Israeli genocide
Woke is understanding African American history. It's not practically meaningless. The far right just uses it as a boogeyman, and none of them know what it means.
I know what it meant, but it's been slopped up worse than "fake news". The right wingers wrapped it up with cancel culture and made it into a fake ass ideology called wokeism.
Now they're doing all of the shit they claimed wokeism was doing and then some. I give them the label woke right because their charictature of "woke" now describes them accurately, and they also hate the label.
If the deep state that these losers have referred to for decades was even a little bit real, we wouldn't even be close to the situation we are in now.
