    If I had a dollar for every time the GOP did this, I could personally fund universal healthcare in the US.

      They do it because they get away with it. Their base either isn’t even aware, or flat out don’t give a shit.

        What’s the conversion rate for dings to blasts?

          4 dings = 2 slams = 1 blast

          At least this is my understanding

            That’s the standard conversion.

            It’s also 6.8 criticizes = 3.4 denounces = 1.7 condemns in Metric.

    The stupidest man in the senate speaks his mind once again.

    And I hate it that everyone calls him “coach” deferentially. They should all tell him to go fuck himself, especially when that’s the only reason he’s in the Senate at all.

        Possibly, although there’s also Republican deputy whip Mike Crapo.

        There’s also Markwayne Mullin, who has a very stupid first name. Also a Republican.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.
