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!

LOL you voted for a takeover and to be cast aside...that's what you're getting. Deal with it, or overthrow him and delete everything his Nazi friends have done to the network or deal with America never and trump first
'but we had no choice! Waaaaaa...!'
Naw, you voted for trump first.
You voted for chaos, now reap the whirlwind.
1 - Give reins to an idiot 2 - Remove all checks and balances 3 - Pickachu Face 4 - Profit?

Terms and conditions apply (only for those in power. You didn't think it was for you, did you?)
I wish the media had the balls to be honest.
"Internal dissent among fascist party's plans to invade Gaza and finish genocide."
Are we really in a timeline in which a fat, smelly sociopath wirh the attention span of a gnat proposes taking over a sovereign territory on the other side of the planet and actual professional politicians go on record saying that they think that's a good idea?
It's as if we're being governed by insane stupid children.
It’s as if we’re being governed by insane stupid children.
It's ok, it only seems that way because it is.
They might be divided over it, but they own it, and if they have any Muslims in their district (or, indeed, anyone who cares about human rights) they will have to explain it to them.
But I know, GeNoCiDe JoE and all that bullshit.
'Both sides are equivalent!'
Lol
Go on, dig your heels in and really oppose it, see what happens.
It's literally the Nazi capitalist version of Prora, I can't.
They never thought it was america first, they knew damn well it was trump first and those that were attached to his boots would get crumbs
Let's get back to work on getting together a concept of an idea to reign in the price of groceries.
that's it, divide them, right down the middle, inbetween the eyes
“There’s a couple kinks in that slinky” 😭
Who cares. What are they doing about anything.
All you fuckers who sat it out remember this when the midterm season starts.
In his head, Trump is saying Gaetz
