The conservative think tank has filed thousands of public-information requests, clogging the pipeline at federal agencies in an apparent attempt to find employees a potential Trump administration would want to purge.

    I wish we could declare them a terrorist organization…

    Maybe if we put a Palestinian flag sticker on their bumpers Isreal will bomb them out of self defense…

      They really are. The Heritage Foundation is made up of nazi terrorists. They just hide behind lawyers.

      I’ve been toying with the idea of carrying around a short stack of swastika stickers to put on Trump cars just so they know we truly see them.

      Not the least biased source, but the quotes are what matters.

        That bald fuck gets to threaten violence against millions of people without facing any repercussions.

    I was bored last night and made the mistake of perusing their website and these people are a new level of insane. Here’s an example:

    When many people imagine their death, they pray for a peaceful passing surrounded by their friends and family. In many cases, melodic hymns sung by those who love them most on earth are gently replaced by the sounds of angelic worship as they enter eternal glory.

    These lunatics think they have some sort of mandate to regulate people’s personal lives, including individual medical decision-making. Fuck the Heritage Foundation, fuck the GOP, and fuck Trump. I’ll be doing my part to make them pay on Election Day.

      This is fanatical religion in a nutshell though. Every religion has this type of psycho who just refuse to let people make their own decisions.

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!
