For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Couldn't help myself with this one. Please feel free to mod if inappropriate for the community; no hard feeling will be had.

Highly appropriate

"We put a million songs on this because...it's fun as shit"

I took some broadcast journalism electives in college and interned at a local station and can confirm: Adding funny music and sarcastic chryons to otherwise boring B-roll is, indeed, fun as shit.

He's not the worst republican, let that sink in.

He may not be the worst, but was by far the one of biggest enablers of the maga bs.

I prefer to believe the constitution beat him up

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's got a lot more people to beat up...

Damn after all this shit finally good news

No one over 70 should be allowed to work in any public position. Work if you want, but not in any capacity of public functions.

Cognitive decline is significant after 70 (being generous). How the fuck are public interests best served by people who came to adulthood half a century ago, whose bodies are piloted by decaying mush on autopilot?

70? Great, you're out.

For context:

Trump = 78

Biden = 82

anyone got the footage? the cc link doesn't work for me.

It's just a 4 minute daily show segment on it and is padded with ads, probably available on YouTube.

The longest living turtle lived until 192 years old, so young mitch here is only about halfway through his life by my math...

First of all it wasn't stairs, it was stair. Second, it's sad funny (but still funny.)

Did he yell at the dude trying to help him?

Those freezing episodes are rough to watch.

In the end, the ragged man comes for us all. And he will not be deterred.

But not all.
