  • Fewer People Are Reading for Fun, Study Finds | From 2003 to 2023, the share of Americans who read for pleasure fell 40 percent, a sharp decline that is part of a continuing downward trend.

    Jump

  • Since half of Americans are functionally illiterate, how would they read for fun?

  • 'OK, let's dance': Dems must fight Texas by 'redrawing every state' they can, says Claire McCaskill

    Jump

  • They need to get their timing right so that the red states can't sneak in even more redistricting.

  • Trump Has No (Legal) Power to Mess With the Election | But that won’t stop him from finding ways to make chaos.

    Jump

  • Since Trump has decided that no US laws apply to him, nor does the Constitution, and the Supreme Court tends to back him up, it is strange that Americans think that they have any legal rights. The law now exists only to further Trumps personal wishes.

  • Kristi Noem Slams ‘South Park’ as ‘Petty’ After Show Mocks Her for Plastic Surgery and Makeup: ‘It’s Always the Liberals’ Who ‘Make Fun of Women for How They Look’

    Jump

  • I tried watching South Park years ago and it wasn't for me. Funny though that many of the more conservative people I know, who embraced the show for years, now think it isn't funny since they are on the receiving end of its humour.

  • Trump's approval rating still negative while the public sours further on Democrats, CNBC survey shows

    Jump

  • As a non-American I sum it up as this: For the last 50 years (that I am old enough to know about) Democrats don't have the answer so they are bad. Republicans don't have the answer but will lie to us every minute of the day to keep us happy so they are good. Then Americans wonder why their country is about to implode.

  • Trump plans 100% tariff on computer chips, unless companies build in US

    Jump

  • I really hope that many companies, not American ones of course, decide that the 100% tariff is fine for Americans to pay, and create all their chips in any other country in the world for the rest of the world to use.

  • Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows

    Jump

  • I'm none of those however I believe they are right to view it negatively. The rest of us should be just a wary.

  • Epstein scandal broadens as trove of letters from famous figures published

    Jump

  • This whole Epstein thing is a diversion from Trump and his cronies literally stealing the US from its citizens. Of course Trump was in Epstein's circle of friends and we know he is a rapist. Don't need any more information - there is plenty already out there that Americans are blithely ignoring. I would be willing to bet that many of the currently aggrieved people, who helped elect Trump even with all the previously exposed information, will, if they get the Epstein file, do the exact same with the new information and give Trump an pass. Anybody who could vote for him after "grab them by the P****" and the rape defamation verdict, will give him a pass for anything, no matter how much they might be pretending to protest right now.

  • Far-right militias adored the Constitution. Then came Trump.

    Jump

  • The 2nd Amendment lovers are about the same as "American Christians". It's all about their ability to shit on anyone that they don't want in their in-group and for the leaders of those groups to make money. That's it. No deep meaning.

  • Trump Sinks Trade Negotiations With Canada After They Announce Intention to Recognize Palestinian State: ‘Will Make It Very Hard’

    Jump

  • Trump has been "sinking" trade negotiations with Canada every week with whatever excuse he makes up at that moment. He isn't negotiating. He's trying to force us to join his awful country. Why have an agreement anyway? The last one, that he negotiated and said was the best ever, he blithely ignored as soon as he wanted to. I expect he will honor all the new agreements in exactly the same way. There is a long line of contractors in the US that can attest to the fact that he never honours his agreements.

  • GOP Sen. refuses to admit Bush, not Obama, was president during Epstein’s plea deal

    Jump

  • Why would he admit it? The MAGA base loves the lies. Why tell the truth if that would cause MAGAs to get mad and possibly not vote for you?

  • 'Allow children to do it': Fox News host calls to replace immigrants with child labor

    Jump

  • His kids and grandkids first. In fact, if there aren't enough necessary workers, maybe "news" hosts should be forced into labour.

  • The former CEO of My Faith Votes, a prominent conservative Christian activist, has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.

    Jump

  • Anyone even remotely surprised?

  • What If

    Jump

  • What if...Trump says he isn't a pedophile because being with any of these girls would make him a hebephile. While there are people who go after young pre-pubescent children, pedophiles, men like Trump, like them pubescent. Yes, everyone likes to use the word pedo because then they don't have to remember which word means what, but that is also the kind of loophole that Trump and his ilk use to claim their innocence. They aren't pedos. They are Hebes. Semantics but that's what criminals like to use to hide their illegal activity.

  • Republicans push bill to rename Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump

    Jump

  • Somehow I doubt that will improve sales. MAGAs aren't known for supporting institutions like the Opera House regardless of the name.

  • A Tennessee Doctor Refused to Give a Woman Prenatal Care Because She’s Unmarried

    Jump

  • Sounds like a recast of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries. Apparently some Christians think that not all fetuses are created equal. Bet that 'doctor' would be front and centre trying her for abortion if she miscarried.

  • Trump’s FCC chairman gloats over Colbert’s cancellation days after meeting soon-to-be CBS owner

    Jump

  • I would boycott CBS but I'm not watching them anyway.
    Can't the show be done on some other format?

  • Palestinian Students Accepted by Irish Universities Are Stranded in Gaza—and The Irish Government Won’t Help

    Jump

  • Just a guess but maybe if they aren't government backed scholarships, Ireland has no way of verifying them. What happens if Ireland helps the students get to Ireland and it turns out there isn't any real money? Now Ireland has to deport the students, which they won't be able to, so they will then have to cover the full amount of the bogus scholarships to pay for the students who otherwise can't afford to be there.

  • Nostalgia

  • I'm guessing you either aren't American or you aren't and Evangelical Christian.
