    I thought the title meant the mayor was scorching the paper after the paper endorsed Harris.

    No, the mayor endorsed Harris in the paper by scorching Trump.

    Confusing headline.

          They also had to cram sensationalist words like “scorching” in there, because apparently the Venn diagram of the WWE and American politics is nearly a circle.

        Looks like they were so absolutely dead set on starting the sentence with ‘gop mayor’ that any semblance of clarity left the building

        Yeah I feel I only understood it because I had seen the headline (more sensibly worded) elsewhere

          That’s being picky about ‘republican’ and ‘conservative’ as these names get further distanced from their meanings. In some sense. The NAME of a certain party is the main qualifier if you are this or that, not a policy or a thought behind it. While republicanism is against monarchy (and first-day-dictators), conservatism too is hard to imagine in the way of proactively undoing established policies to celebrate something that old that it’s new for most living citizen, so it’s not conserving but introducing a new reactionary twist. It’s just a passing thought I don’t think I captured completely.

              That’s true. Methinks, it may or may not be a little stone in the shoe of their current campaign if taken further in some more productive angle

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.

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.
