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!

It's fucking horrifying how many people just glaze over him circumventing congress to "sell" arms to Israel when there was publicly available evidence that US arms were being used in a genocide.
He openly and flagrantly violated US and international laws, and all it did was make it harder to convince people trump wasn't as dangerous as he is.
Lowering our standards doesn't get more Dem voters, but it costs enough for someone as ahitty as trump to get elected twice.
US Presidents being War Criminals is a long and celebrated tradition. Biden is not the first or the last US president to follow that tradition.
Throw em all in prison then. Justice plays no favorites.
Go ahead, try to throw one in prison. Justice is a lie.
You really haven't been paying attention to the news lately.
I hardly think what has been occurring in the news counts as justice.
The fact that Donald Trump a) was allowed to run for president despite being disqualified by the 14th amendment and b) is not in prison shows that justice does in fact play favorites.
No, it shows that justice does not exist in the United States.
But this is just semantics, we agree that something rotten has happened.
Yep.
Obama is the closest thing to a "good" president in my lifetime...
Still a fucking war criminal.
