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!

Translation: "We're going to commit fraud to make the national debt appear lower."
Well, if it is good for the government, it is good for the rest of us too. Would be pretty interesting if no one made a credit card payment in March.
He's just planning to stiff his lenders like he has done countless times already, isn't he?
"nobody bankrupts better than me!"
"And maybe that boy"
If someone wanted to wreck the USA and had a top 10 wish list, this would be on it along with all the other shit he's done in the last few weeks
His buddies Xi, Putin, or Rocketman probably suggested this.
Abandon Taiwan and Ukraine, alienate Canada and Mexico, tank the financial markets, genocide Palestine, fuck the climate, delete the CIA and roll back equal rights 50 years. Busy first month
Adversaries couldn't have done a better job.
Biggest foreign intelligence success of all time
He asked someone if they can just declare bankruptcy, and everyone in the room looked at each other worriedly until someone talked him into looking at the debt problem.

Ha, didn't even think of that scene but it fits. Only with Trump and the yes men around him, it just keeps looping that part as he says one crazy thing after another.
Stock market crash in 3... 2... 1...
"We're even looking at Treasuries," Trump said. "There could be a problem - you've been reading about that, with Treasuries and that could be an interesting problem."
I have not "been reading about that."
"We're not sure we actually owe any money, to anybody, like I'm fairly sure treasuries are like hamburgers, and yaba-daba lunchbox carrying like all we ever can do for these people is Great, great people, the best people say that. Carrying hamburgers around that owe these migrants money, but we really don't! These are bad people"
Neither has he.
Orange manbaby can't read. Prove me wrong.
I guess pootie wants him to tank the bond market.
<<grabs popcorn 🍿>>
🎵Monday, bloody Monday🎵
It will be a wonderful day when I hear te final news of this blithering idiot.
At this point I think he just wants to default on some debt to emulate Hitler
He's not questioning the credit of the United States government, is he? I feel like there is a constitutional clause concerning this.
The constitution is legislation. If he doesn't enforce the sanctions which are also legislation, what makes you think he cares to follow any? The fact that they haven't fast tracked him for removal and we don't have 100% of congress screaming at him for removal means the Republic has fallen. The constitution means nothing.
The constitution ain’t worth shit. It means nothing.
Here comes the default
"all those debt payments just getting 'wasted' like that, when it should all be going to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
