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!

I can't swing it or I totally would. I've got work then I've got to load up for a gig that was booked weeks ago. I've already voted for her and Allred.

If I could I'd show up in what I'm wearing to the gig. It's somewhere between "I got lost in 90s grunge" and "my cousin fixes cars under a shade tree and I ain't got no learnin". It's very popular with the shoeless drunks I play for.

What instrument do you play? I'm hoping the answer is vibraphone or pipe organ

I play the triangle in an 18 piece band. We mostly do covers using tea kettles filled to different levels of punk songs that are themselves covers of pop songs. Think "A Very Merry Unbirthday" meets Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Plus a triangle.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. I feel you're usually more careful about doxxing yourself, so I'm gonna mean more towards joking because that seems too niche to conceal your identity.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, this actually sounds like a legit concept.

Definitely a joke. This Friday I'm sitting in as bass player for a psychobilly band. Their regular bass player is in your neighborhood this weekend.

Oh, they'll probably wanna leave my neighborhood, we had another nearby shooting recently

I'll make sure he's aware. If you see a 6'5" tattooed and pierced bald guy in a gas station attendant shirt with some metal band patch looking lost and goofy tell him that a drunk already warned him he wants to be in a different neighborhood.
