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!

When the regime falls, don't let these feckless enablers off the hook.

Watch and learn.

Despite its popularity on the Right, Don't Tread On Me has functional appeal across the political spectrum.

Also, if they wanted a meek and incapable populace, they would have restricted firearms purchases, rather than flog the idea that as many firearms as possible should be sold to the public.

Don't Tread On Me.

I mean maybe but the ultimate "dont tread on me" is about the death penalty and nobody is at his court house. Nobody is bothering to keep that story alive and thriving. It had it's 2 minutes of fame. We moved on. Rinse and repeat for everything on the left. Like there's no momentum for anything worthwhile. The only time there's traction is for things that really do not have clear goals. It all seems like the left is led astray and herded. Why isn't Luigi on every Reddit and Lemmy and Twitter and Facebook thread right now? It leaves me with no hope for anything else.

Thanks for illustrating my point.

How's that Canadian boycott going. You still seeing momentum for that? How's Galen Weston doing this quarter? We have no ability to maintain

How's that Canadian boycott going.

It's fun! We have apps that we use to scan barcodes, helping us identify American products so we can leave them on the shelf! Any sense of loss on any nostalgic product, is easily forgotten, as i purchase trays of one and a half dozen eggs at will.

How's Galen Weston doing this quarter?

Quite well in imagine. He'll be eaten if and when it becomes warranted.

We have no ability to maintain

Which is why we look elsewhere for reliable trade partners.
