      Yet another made up position? Like DOGE and “White House AI and crypto czar”.

        The entire purpose is to leave established and well-defined government positions unstaffed while creating new meaningless ones for your buddies.
        Then your posse has whatever power you feel like that day with absolutely no oversight.

    69-, 78-, and 86-year-old envoys are sure to shape the future of Hollywood.

      I mean the future of Hollywood is apparently Birth of a Nation, so it tracks.

    Stallone played an American domestic terrorist, Jon Voight played Adolf Hitler, and Mel Gibson directed a movie that bastardized the story of Jesus.
    Seems fitting.

      Gibson is also seemingly a big fan of Hitler, and bigots in general.

      American domestic terrorist

      You’re talking about some other character and not Rambo, right? At least in the first movie…that is a definite ACAB movie.

    Mel and Sly are no surprise.

    John Voight is a surprise, considering how Angela Jolie runs. Must be a boomer thing

      Voight is huge in right wing circles.

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!
