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!

We'll see about that
-Conservatives, historically and today
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
It's right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
Right, so they'll just do it without Congress.
Have they even done anything in Congress? Seems like all of their policies have been dictated by the orange absolute monarch.
Voted stuff down is about it
what? you want these people to read now?
if they didnt read the whole bible they sure arent gonna read the whole constitution.
The jokes on everyone who still acts as though they're dealing with rational people in good faith, instead of mentally ill religious extremists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles.
Whether they were inherently susceptible, or indoctrinated through psychological warfare, is largely irrelevant. You can't deprogram tens of millions of people, especially while the propaganda apparatus remains.
Anti-Christian is a good thing ... better yet, anti-religion.
If trump is the messiah, I want to hear from the other bloke.
I dunno. Buddhism seems to be doing well. The Dali Lama doesn't seem to advocate for this.
So it is one nation under Christianity. Hmph.
What the heck! All other religions are not Christian. They too?
They'll stone them too. Its last hired, first fired with this cult.
Got five letters for tyrants. I'm sure all my queer homies who I absolutely have NOT been watching do insane firearm drills for the past 10 years will take that laying down!
The cool part of not having respect for the law is you get to just like, not apply it to yourself!
Entirely unrelated, did you know you can make an AK, semi reliably, automatic with a wire coat hanger? Crazy shit man.
Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to 'love thy neighbors' a lot - pretty gay tbh.
I did read the bible many decades ago, can't remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might've missed it or forgotten.
I'm a Christian, and I hate this movement so much. I want to hate the people, trust me, but Jesus said to love, so I must. Seriously though, separation of church and state, now please.
Part of loving someone is holding them accountable for their own actions and behavior. Growth is not possible without accountability
You should check out John Fugelsang, he just released a book “The Separation of Church and Hate” and he has a podcast. He is a comedian, and his father was a Franciscan friar and his mother was a Carmelite nun so he’s got a really interesting background.
He also has a bunch of resources (including materials for churches) on how to reclaim actual bible based Christianity with compassion instead of whatever we have now.
It's pretty clear trump is working for something bigger and the goal is just to wear America down to near collapse so something else can be built in the rubble.
It's also clear most Americans have had way too much privilege in their lives to even live like real humans or care. God bless consumerism, escapism, and denial.
It feels like a nation that pimps its people then offers them drugs to escape until they get pimped again.
