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!

“His hatreds are his spiritual nourishment,” Moran’s post read, in part. He added that the president “is a world-class hater. But his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification”.
This man speaks the truth.
MORE journalists should be focusing on the pure evil of Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller. This is the guy who wants to reduce the American population from a diverse 335 million, to a homogenous 100illion. He is HitlerPig's most trusted advisor, someone who has been by his side from the beginning, while dozens of others have come and gone.
He is an incredibly powerful man, and Moran was fired for simply pointing out the most basic truth about him. ABC has been my favored news source for a long time, but after this incident, and the $15 million settlement of the frivolous and vexatious Stephanopoulos Defamation case (which was nothing less than a bribe), I can't trust their reporting anymore.
My first read of your comment, “Why is “red hats” reversed?”
Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison (two of the shittest cunts in Australian politics) deliberately gutted the ABC and fucked with its independence, because they couldn't handle the legitimate criticisms of their stupidity and incompetence
It's not that this journalist was some saint, but the axing was delivered as a sign of bending the knee
The Labor government hasn't been able to unfuck the many years of bullshit that happened yet, and the cuts were so deep that things may never go back to the way they were
Wait, isn’t this article about the US ABC? The Disney-flavoured one?
It is, yeah
Must be nice not to always chicken out 😏
