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!

MODERATORS
It should be obvious by now that the 'chilling effect' thing isn't working out for them. They are just making us madder and more determined. Every single protest I've been to has been larger than the previous one & It's cost the pedo GOP nearly every special election since 2024.
You're assuming these people are smart. The thing is I'm pretty sure they are basically incapable of deviating from whatever plans or strategies they cooked up ages ago so now they just double down till it either fails or works. Pretty sure that's what happened with Iran for example, it was probably an old plan that had been sitting around for decades that maybe could've worked then but was left shelved until it became worthless, kinda like the Schlieffen plan during WW1.
Also I just realized your profile pic is the Neverwinter Nights logo.
Yes it is, addicted to modding it. Do you play?
Used to a couple years ago, but my current poison is Rimworld and CK3 the mod AtE. Also it's mostly not my cup of tea will usually choose to play Fallout or more modern CRPGs unless I'm already burnt out on those but still in a CRPG kick.
