Welcome, children, to USPOL: Spring


Context for the initial thread title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_iCHhcS9U

Request details for the D&D Discord from one of the D&D mods; that would be myself, PPJ, or Ard.

Do not post your own tweets, as a general rule. We may make exceptions for politically relevant tweets, but generally won’t.

Report egregious non-political derails.

Go to the primary thread to discuss primary chat. Do not post primary bait itt.

Context for international viewers:

https://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1108397933840474112

The Trump Administration is well into its third year, and shows no sign of becoming any less of a shitshow. The administration has incompetently intervened politically and economically into Venezuela, continues to fund the starvation of Yemen, and flails wildly in Syria and Afghanistan. The Trump Administration routinely flouts the laws on corruption and has rendered the Supreme Court hopelessly far-right for a generation. Congressional Republicans display impressive incompetence, especially in the House, which the Democratic Party now controls as of January. Democratic politicians, businessmen, and other figures continue to throw their hats into the ring to challenge Trump in 2020, with Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris leading in the polls as of this writing.

Impeachment of the president seems unlikely. Democratic congressional leadership is feckless and afraid of the consequences when the Republican Senate invariably declines to convict. Meanwhile, we continue to race towards the precipice on global warming – all while Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal initiative is mocked and derided by the centrist press and establishment.

Time seems to be running short.

Don't be awful about Barron Trump. He's eleven years old. Every other Trump family member is fair, but let Barron be a kid for just a small bit. In general, just leave people's kids out of it.

The dog rule may be dead, but dog pictures are always appreciated.

Things are not normal. Stop pretending they are. Stop criticizing people for being rightfully afraid, or for taking steps to protect themselves.

An individual minority or woman being an awful person who enables Republicans is not an excuse to be a bigoted or sexist piece of poo poo. I thought this went without saying.

Do not use ableist slurs.

Hey Mods, I've been meaning to ask this in the other threads, but they seem to be well in by the time I remember.

When the thread title changes, would mods be able to add the updated thread title to the OP with a link to the post or page that inspired the change. It would be a handy "Contents" page and would also be a nice track of events as they transpired. Would also allow people who miss numerous name changes in a day (when they happen) to keep up.

Something like

What the gently caress "gender" is a person in a wheelchair?

e: Just put up a sign with a toilet on it, it's not loving hard. Trying to be cute like this just points out that you're an rear end in a top hat.

I mean if you're short on cash and want a payout, that seems to be the only way to get him to actually pay for services.

The wheelchair is there to indicate it's handicap accessible. Like how it works on all other bathroom signs.

I assume the wheelchair is there to indicate that it's an accessible bathroom.
