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!

NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.


I'd love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

Dear imaginary Lord, I pray to you to intervene right now in this hateful troll's heart. He denies you are imaginary and all your made-up glory. Please help him see the truth that you do not exist.

He knows not what he does because you never gave him the ability to think critically or examine his own beliefs. This is clearly your fault imaginary father. Every time this poor human prays they are only praying to their own empty ego.

I do sincerely ask that you work on their heart. Just as you did on mine helping me to see everyone has lied about you. The truth will set him free from the shackles of his own creation. Please imaginary lord and father do this so that they may find peace. Amen.

So, I haven't read your last comment and im not going to, its pointless chatter and im sure youre trying to be insulting. Love you brother. Be blessed, God loves you and wants you to turn towards Him. This could be your turning point.

Please made-up lord, act on this troll's heart. He knows not what he does for he has been deceived and lied to by his fellow man. His heart is full of lies which he masks with insincerity.

He pretends so hard he has a connection with you, but the truth is he is a hollow hater devoid of spiritualism living a life of blasphemy. Please imaginary lord give him the pity he deserves for no man can see the truth under the illusion that you exist. Amen.
