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!

Summary

President Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest, emphasizing the global urgency of combating climate change.

During his historic visit, he called protecting the environment “a fight for humanity, citing achievements such as rejoining the Paris Agreement, boosting climate financing to $11 billion annually, and advancing green energy through the Inflation Reduction Act

He announced new conservation efforts, including $50 million for the Amazon Fund, and declared Nov. 17 as International Conservation Day.

Biden urged leaders to prioritize both environmental protection and economic growth, leaving a climate-focused legacy amid concerns over President-elect Trump’s rollback plans.

By eating ice cream cones while promoting a genocide. That's just one example though.

Israel is supported by the US to prevent Iran from growing in power in the region.

Netanyahu is responsible for the genocide.

Those who blame Biden for Netanyahu’s actions are responsible for our environment, peace, wealth and very freedoms being in dire peril. Because they have empowered Trump.

But it seems pretty clear that was the goal from those bad faith actors.

What if, Iran grow in power in the region? Why do an American citizen care for? If Iran intervene in oil deal between US and nations in the region, then they can, work with these nations to rebel Iran, you know like how they are doing with Ukraine.

Commiting war crimes and genocide in the name of stopping Iran is lame and stupid.

Tell this to Netanyahu. Iran is also not afraid of committing warcrimes.
