Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

...and yet there won't be thousands of people protesting his inauguration or anything the fuck else.
The people in this country have been broken, and now they're just gonna lay over and take it.
We're a long way from February 15th, 2003.
Face it, American citizens, we're fucking cooked.
An effective protest requires a call to action. What would the call to action for his inauguration protest be?
A protest without a backing of a threat of violence if demands are not met is just a fitness walk.
Some of us are and some of us aren't. Help your neighbors if you're one of the lucky ones who aren't.
I'll do my best but considering I have cancer and can't afford my meds without the ACA, I'm probably one of the ones who is pretty fucking cooked.
I'm safe, I'll pick up your slack fam.
I knew billywitchdoctor.com would come through for me.
Chicken arise! Arise chicken! Arise!
Why'd you bypass the largest protest in the country's history? Black Lives Matter was just four years ago and included people actually fighting with cops, not just walking along prescribed routes holding signs. We're a lot closer to a break than we ever were in 2003.
People weren’t fighting cops, it was just cops doing what they do best.
I held the line.
Hell yeah. Gotta organize and show up
I can tell you this, I'm a fuck load more experienced and prepared than when we had to pull a plan out of our asses 4 years ago.
There were some. Shooting fireworks and de-arresting their comrades. But yeah, most of the violence was in one direction.
