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!

We all know he did, and we all know he will. Especially now that he can just call it "official duties"

Don't see the issue here, maybe it's just me. America is powered by big money from foreign nations. My mom got a 14 inch silicone bad-dragon knockoff from Temu paying only a fraction of the price for essentially the same product. Sure there's child labor involved but hey they need to make money somehow. Why? Cause China doesn't rely on big money from foreign nations. America does, aka why we're the #1 country and therefore no child labor dildos.

Thanks for reminding me why some people add "/s" to their posts

Why "fear" what would be a 100% established fact? Try "watch helplessly as" instead?

You can blame the traitor john roberts and citizens united for this. Republicans are worthless traitor swine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Citizens united is horrible, but what I think they are talking about is a little different and also bad. Arguably addressed directly in the constitution but the SC doesn't care. This isn't lobbying, these are emoluments from foreign governments as far as I can tell.

Look into Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia.

Yes, he will do all the crazy illegal crap he did before, and more. Regrettably, this isn’t going to change anyone’s mind.

Corruption is bad, m'kay. His Ilk do not belong in the Solarian Empire.
