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!

And of course it features Margarine Trailer Queen. Whenever there's an insane story it turns out that troll has stumbled out from under her bridge to be the center of attention.

That picture does pretty much capture her entire personality right there though.

Trailer Queen

Can we not? Why take a dig at poor people to make fun of a rich person?

As someone who grew up in a trailer park and was stigmatized by it:

I still use the term trailer park trash to describe people who refuse to change their trailer park trash mentality or better themselves.

To me, trailer park trash describes a mindset and not circumstances.

I don’t look down on my fellow poors, but I look down on their willful ignorance.

It gets in under their skin, the one thing every rich pissant I have encountered feared the most is being seen as white trash. Wait there was the one dude who was really fucken scared of badgers for some reason.

This is actually a pretty good article despite the headline. I wish the wellness freak corner of the conservative wing would say something about all this bullshit. Clean air and water sounds like a no-brainer issue for them.

Boooo. I’m booing the headline. Booooo.
