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!

Obligatory: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Okay, Musk, put your money where your mouth is. Tell every Republican in the Senate that you will start a fund to support primary challengers for every one of them that votes for the bill.

I’ll just add that to my list of disgusting abominations:

  • trump.
  • musk.
  • doge.
  • big beautiful bill.

Okay but who seriously still gives a fuck about what that idiot says?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Hey if he's going to get into a slapfight with trump, i'll watch. Hopefuly there's hairpiece-pulling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I care, because what he says and does can drastically affect our lives in a bad way. It's important to be aware of what's happening. Ignoring him just gives him free reign to be an awful person without restriction.

Honestly, it's why most of our government is allowing someone like Trump to do whatever he wants. Because who's gonna stop them? Who's going to enforce the rule of law?

Most people just prefer to avoid political BS, so they complain about the way things are, then go back to their lives a few days later and no justice is actually performed. No accountability.

Most of the time, I feel like the #StopMuskSpam campaigns on social media are just teaching us to ignore him so he can get away with more evil acts.

And the fact that he's supposedly leaving politics feels like he's just tired of being in the spotlight and is trying to move back to the shadows so he can continue harming us without criticism.

Don't ignore him; stay in touch with everything he's doing so you're informed and can respond appropriately. And that goes for all political figures in control of our lives.

Oh no, it looks like Mump really did break up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Who is keeping the White House though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Well we know trump's keeping Lindsey Graham. They still can't get him out of there.

A public bitchfight between the two least credible dipshits in the world? I'm here for it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Why is this fascist's theatre even being considered? We already know that budget bill is worthless trash to everything that may benefit the working class and common sense. We don't need his histrionics.

Don't cry, Elmo. You can always go and be king of your own city in Texas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

He does have a ton of money tho, so 😬. Yet, I don't trust his mouth at all, I trust him -459.67 °F which translates to Absolute ZERO.

musk gets kicked out of the government

becomes a democrat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I'd still NOT trust Elon. He says one thing publicly, but might be cooking 🍳🔪 something else internally. He might be trying to save his business A.s.s. as a converted, but down deep he's still a piece of 💩.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I wouldn't trust 💩💩💩💩 coming out of Elon mouth. A few years ago, he went public about the dangers of AI and why it'd destroy us human-race. A decade later, he owns an AI company and infiltrates ALL the US government departments with it, using the absurd and most likely lie to make it more efficient while stealing and keeping all the citizens information he could gain. Yeah right I trust Ellon as much as I trust Trump which equals to -459.67 °F coldest temperature in outer space or current absolute ZERO.
