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!

There will be literal celebrations when Donald Trump finally dies.
He’d better fucking die in a prison cell.
I hope he dies of natural causes, after many, many years in jail.
Only one thing to add to that: his voice must be heavily controlled. Not taken away of course, but he must not be allowed to pontificate to his drooling followers. He's never been shy about embracing stochastic terror while a free man; imagine his behavior when he has less to lose.
The only people (other than fellow inmates) listening to him should be the prison guards. And when he complains that he's being treated unfairly with his uncomfy bed or whatever, they can silently gesture to all the identical cells around him for the hundredth time.
Maybe when he's lost the one thing that gives him a sense of power he'll be forced to attempt some kind of introspection, and hopefully find the tiniest kernel of empathy.
Or I can just wake up from my daydreaming.
And be replaced with somebody even more monstrous.
This shit won't end with one fat man having a heart attack.
It won't end until the bigoted vitriolic overzealous self-aggrandizing assholes have something to fear again.
The genie is out of the bottle and too many freaks have been emboldened to be open about their racist, misogynistic thoughts.
