    Unrelated, my favorite TV show is the X-Files.

    This should be illegal. I think Iran has gone a step too far at this point. I don’t think there is a single person alive who would condone this.

    No one, I repeat NO ONE, wants to imagine Trump sunbathing.

      I know, right? How am I going to get that image out of my head? It’s almost enough to make me support censorship.

      If Iranian hackers were so elite, they would have done something cool like erased student loan debt. Instead, they’re busy toppling Minecraft servers and trying to find anything they can use other than cell phones or pagers. Terribly un1337 of you, Ayatollah.

    There is probably an unspoken rule of geopolitics to the effect of “Don’t start assassinating foreign dignitaries and heads of state unless you want everyone else to declare open season on you and yours.” And it seems like we’re getting closer to breaking that rule by the month.

      Doubtful we’ll see a powerful head of state call for such an act. More likely, we’ll see some lone wolf who gets tied to a nation that immediately disavows them.

      I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I’d be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.

    Phhhht! Put up or shut up, Iran. No one thinks you’ll do it. No one thinks you’re a threat over here. You can’t do it. You won’t do it.

    All talk. No action.

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!
