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!

We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.
How in the ever loving fuck was Hirohito allowed to stay in power then?
this is what happens when you don't elect people to congress who couldn't pass fucking freshman high school history
These fuckers can't pass a 5th grade literacy test. Also I think learning anything non bible related is a sin to them
To be completely fair, they don't learn the Bible correctly either.
to anyone thinking this reply is exaggerating, here are the stats:

54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level).
More than anything else, to me this era is defined by the number of people in positions of power who are brutally obviously full-blown psychopaths.
It's to the point that I'm not even sure if this is most accurately considered a political crisis. It seems more a mental health crisis, marked by the fact that so many positions of power are held by people who are so profoundly mentally ill that they likely shouldn't even be allowed in public unsupervised, much less allowed to hold any sort of authority over anyone else.
America reveres the mentally ill, of your condition leans the right way. Have no empathy or care for others? You might fit in with the GOP. Think hoarding wealth and resources for yourself is a great way to be? The GOP is calling your name! Do you want to over tax people with nothing so people with everything don't have to worry about anything? You guessed it, welcome to the Republican party.
In a fair world his comment should warrant a 72 hour psych hold.
Remember, calling for violence against civilians is illegal.... unless they aren't white.
Calling for violence against the powers-that-be is how revolutions get shit done, however.
Here's a story. Back at my previous job I had to work with this super MAGA heavyset Israeli man we'll nickname A. This guy had a chubber for Trump. Back when Trump was separating immigrant families at the border and sticking them in camps, A justified it by saying that "we used to do the same thing to the Japanese and no one cared about it then, so why is everyone up in arms about it now?"
This was a 50-something man from Israel. I can only imagine he'd be wholeheartedly in favor of this.
The silver lining is he got laid off after the company got fucked over by Trump
Mental illness is a prerequisite at this point.
Maybe try near or around the Kremlin?
Republicans telling us who they are again.
