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!

Falling on deaf ears at this point. The ~~controlled opposition party~~ Democratic Party has already handed the keys to the kingdom to ensure a smooth transition of ^unchecked^ power.

People forget that Biden wrote the PATRIOT Act. Which opened the door to unprecedented spying on US citizens.

"It's a big club, and we ain't in it."

If trump and the project 2025 architects are as dangerous as they say and I believe they are, they have been extremely limp-dicked and complacent from Biden saying he was gonna "give it his best" to his shit-eating grin "welcome to the white house" to trump.

Something is off here...

The majority of the American people voted for project 2025 to run the US... What do you want him to do? It's the will of the (very stupid and bigoted) people

Yeah, but he didn't have to be cheery about it like it's nothing and they were bullshitting about him being a fascist all the time.

PS: ok, it seems to be a nonchalant "tis but a scratch" reaction to incoming doom.

Hmm, careful. It was not a majority of American people. Trump didn't win over 50% of the popular vote, and this doesn't consider the people who did not vote.

this doesn't consider the people who did not vote.

If you chose not to vote or vote for 3rd party, you supported Trump.
