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.

Asgore Adopts Noelle
Minor Correction: The Animated Special (not the Movie) still has the line in it, it's the book that has removed the line as Lake Eerie gets better.
The USA is "lucky" that something like that prompted environmental legislation before things got to the point that people are dying due to polluted air and water. Unlike countries like say, China and India.
Money isn't the only reason China is looking into renewables and going along with the Paris accords.

A lot of Trump's policies, such as they are, are standard Republican policies at this point. But Trump has no filter and the thinnest skin imaginable, so he's much more obvious. Plus, he's desperate for attention, and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way, so the spotlight is constantly on him. Also, he lost the popular vote, so a lot of people were aware of him already.
Is there any possibility that Texas might join the alliance? You're probably going to say 'not in a million years', but I thought I should ask since I've been getting surprisingly mixed signals on Texas' allegiance to Trump (which, admittedly, may be anecdotal).

The Myth of the Kindly General Lee
tl;dr: Lee was just as much an asshole as any other slaveholder.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Got around to RTFA on the election hacking.
Apparently the access to the voter database is believed to have been a Russian attempt to disenfranchise Democrat voters - CrossCheck implementation in several states will deregister voters for the slightest profile discrepancy.
The latter part did happen, though.
Ideally someone other than The Intercept should do further corroboration or investigation, since the leaker got busted in an awful hurry...
I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiotTrump is turning on Jeff Sessions: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/05/us/politics/trump-discontent-attorney-general-jeff-sessions.html
I dont think turned is the good work, he seen to just berate sessions for make him look bad(lol), os is less "I dont need you anymore" and more "YOU IDIOT!" also I take the explanation of the professor, trump is just upset because is second version didnt past...of course that ignore the reason is trump frequen mention of muslism and crappy work with the first ban make obvious what he want it.
Anyway, we saw how spitefull trump really is, is there any other insult he feel the need to avenge a this rate?
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Trump claims the Democrats hold up new ambassadors.
Maybe if he nominated some.
