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!

It's honestly so bad that it's actually getting it more views and it's being covered everywhere including the Daily Show. Part of me wonders if that's the intent but then I realize much of the GOP is completely incompetent.
Also, since the BoRDeR CriSiS is going to literally be the GOP's only attack this election cycle, let' remind them of a couple things:
Republicans blocked the border plan THEY originally wanted and which the Border Patrol themselves endorsed. <--- Republicans chose politics over policy.
iLlEGal ImMiGraNts actually commit less violent crime as a whole than American citizens themselves...
Right-Wing domestic extremists are far more violent.
Such undocumented immigrants yield a net-positive to our economy as a whole.
Don’t let them distract you with it in the first place.
They’re being quiet about the Comstock act which they will use to make mailing Mifepristone, an abortion medication, illegal.
Definite agreement here. How many chess-moves ahead is she?
.. turns to downvote.
Literally instantaneous down-vote and dismissal at point-of-contact.
Only two periods for an ellipsis? Clear laziness.
Using two hyphens for an em dash? Disgusting.
Would you have preferred the Gen Z “low-key” instead of the Millennial “literally”?
They didn’t care either way. That was a stream of consciousness of projected insecurity.
