Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Fascists are telling lies again. It's like the litterbox thing.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some dude was running around the Denver Post comments (when they still had them), constantly telling everyone that he knew firsthand that the litterbox thing was all true. Luckily, most of the other commenters laughed at him.

....but not all of them.

Medical professionals: people should drink less, like 2 drinks a week not 2 a day.

yeah I told my doc that I had really dropped my overall beer drinking down to about 8 beers a week like I was super proud of myself and saying "I don't drink all that much anymore" and he looked at me and just said "well that's still debateable"

I'm like BRUH... Down from like 20 beers a week I felt accomplished but he didn't think it was an accomplishment.

[–] bdiddy@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Ted Cruz doesn't understand the difference between recommendation and requirement.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait… Biden is requiring everyone drink two beers a day?

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

No more than 2 beers a week or it gets the hose again.

You can drink as much hard liquor you want, just no more than 2 beers.

I'm sure he actually does, but he's counting on his redneck base not understanding.
