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!

When I've read the "hacked" headlines. I thought to myself "They couldn't have just highlighted it in black.. right?". Can't tell if incompetent or chaotic good.
Like the lady with whiteout in Erin Brockovich
It feels like someone wanted this out and had to follow orders. If intentional, it's brilliant. If not, it's hilarious.
Believing that someone engaged in some malicious compliance here would restore a tiny sliver of my faith in humanity... which means it was probably just incompetence.
This has happened plenty of times before with redacted documents, someone just goes in, sets the highlighting tool to black, and uses it that way, without realizing that doesn’t actually obscure the words underneath like a sharpie would
Well, I don't think it's highlighted in black. They just changed the image or vector data without changing/removing the text data that sits separately but rendered on top of it.
so highlighted black…
No. Highlighting in black will still store the text vector data (usually). It will just appear as a black block.
Have you checked that they actually changed the vector data?
No
of course they goddamn did ahahah nobody can tell a single one of them "no," or "hey this isn't a good idea." they're all smart, duh.
