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!

No fucking way that’ll happen.
It doesn't matter whether it will happen or not. The messaging is the point. "I'm going to hurt the people you want to hurt."
Hope so Scrotus made up bullshit to end roe vs wade.
Yeah and Trump said he'd drain the swamp and make Mexico pay for the wall. Hes bad but I cannot stand watching the same people tell me the president isn't a dictator when they can't do things with a slim majority, but somehow they genuinely expect Trump to somehow rally the political capital to be able to march democrats off to camps on day one. It's delusion that matches what red maga thinks about democrats. Tell me how Trumps gonna march citizens off to camps when Biden can't pass an infrastructure bill through a majority without removing 2/3rds of it. The math doesn't math and its pure emotional propaganda. Either the president has that kind of power and Biden should have simply leveraged it to hold Trump responsible for what has been legally proven insurrection, or they don't have that power and lots of people here are scare mongering.
Pay fucking attention
Just like no way he’d get elected to office? Been there, heard that argument.
He will get into office again, by hook or by crook.
These loonies will vote for him in a solid bloc happily, because he’s promising them what they’ve always wanted: a chrisofacist state where only the ‘glorious word of the lord’ is law. At this point, with that offer, they’d vote for the Devil himself.
And the rich arseholes backing Trump will do it because their beliefs hold that the Jews all need to be in Israel and then they can kickstart the apocalypse and all get into heaven, and that will be easier to do if they’re in charge of a mindless, dogma-following religious ‘government’.
