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 still don't understand. But yes, I do have history with BYU. Thank you for the shoutout!
Okay, just so we’re clear, a page with less than a thousand words and requiring at best a high school reading level is beyond you?
I mean you regularly copy and paste walls of text almost as long as that in comments, but you can’t manage to derive the meaning out of a simple web page?
Did you have some sort of head injury or stroke?!
Well, I'm not sure. Why don't we REALLY clear things up, and you tell me what you think is going on here?
You’re shitposting.
Hey genius, I already did. I even provided visuals. Not sure what else I could do. You have pictures, you have a Wikipedia page. You either have the ability to parse a secondary school level explanation or you don’t. If you don’t, that’s on you.
But I don't see how any of that has anything to do with this article or this thread. So I still don't know what you are trying to say. You can assume my agenda and my lack of intelligence all day.
Still doesn't change the fact that I'm going to keep posting. Thanks, friend! :)
I don’t need to assume anything. You offer all the proof necessary with your pattern of behavior. Thanks, bud! Good luck with those resources I provided!
If I’m really such a troll, wouldn’t the best strategy be to stop engaging altogether? Every response just boosts the view count and engagement on my posts. If attention is supposedly what I crave, then ignoring me would be the quickest way to make me "go away," right?
Constant replies are actually feeding what you claim to hate, so maybe letting it fade into obscurity would be the logical move—if that’s really what you want.
And if my trolling is so obvious, then you don't have to worry about pointing it out, because as many have said, "every sees through" me. Right?
I mean, the only problem with that scenario is that I'm not a troll. And I have posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
So the conflicting perspectives of stuff I post doesn't really fit you narrative, but meh, just some room for thought I guess.
It’s “food for thought” - are you sure you’re a native English speaker? You seem to have big problems with both idiom and reading comprehension.
Meh, stubby fingers, tiny phone screen. But I'll keep as is, cuz I like the idea of room for thought.
What language do you think I'm native in, if not English? Are you trying to imply something?
Come on, friend, you can say it out loud. Just say it...
Hmm, not sure how stubby fingers get “food” to “room” - especially as we know from your frequent misspellings and constant editing of your previous posts, you obviously disabled auto-correct.
And I didn’t imply anything, just asked a question as you seem to be constantly confused by common American English phrases - especially so for someone who is a native English speaker, and generally poor reading comprehension. “I don’t know what that means” is probably one of your five most common replies in comments.
Hey, friend. Now, let's stick to discussing the articles. Thank you!
Can’t tell if this is parody or an alt 😄
I don’t know what that means, friend. I'm just here to discuss the articles. Absolutely nothing Russian about me. I mean, just THINK of what that would even mean. I don't even have any rubles at all. Thank you!
I don't know what that means, friend. Thank you!
