Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.Wikileaks are a bunch of Chaotic Stupid, anarchy-libertarians (at best) who think that the government (especially those they don't agree with) doesn't have the right to hide anything.
Unless that government is the Kremlin.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.Since I started posting in this thread, I've learned a lot. Many of the things I've been told have been challenged. I don't think that's a bad thing.
This thread means a lot to me. You have no idea how much.
Do not obey in advance.
