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

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!

Weird how Republicans celebrate when a Republican does something progressive. It's almost as if Americans like progressive policies. The right has just convinced a large portion of Americans that it's Socialism or a "hand-out". Usually the right is talking about flat taxes for the rich and the working class alike OR switching to sales tax only that way the poor are taxed on every penny they spend (which is most of it) and the rich who stockpile their wealth get taxed on almost none of it. This is only notable because he's on the right.
As usual, the right is judged on their best and the left is judged on their worst.
If you like this and want progressive taxes that work for the working class instead of against them, vote blue. Or better yet, vote progressive.
I paid less taxes under Trump and made more money. Biden and Kamala are letting the tax cuts Trump put in place for the middle class expire. So, I'm voting to keep more of my money and it's not blue. And you misunderstand Republicans. Letting people keep more of their hard earned money is a lot different than just giving out money to people who don't contribute such as illegal immigrants coming across the border or drug addicts in San Francisco in which they're talking about paying them $100 each a week if they pass a drug test each week. That's what free handouts are.
Imagine supporting a literal insurrectionist because you might pay lower taxes maybe. Very cool dude.
Right, well, I don't consider Jan. 6 an insurrection. Trump was never even charged with insurrection. Matter of fact nobody was. The Dems just used that word hoping they could get a conviction on it. That way, he wouldn't be able to run for office again.
Lmfao.
So you think Al Capone was just a normal dude who forgot to pay his taxes? A Supreme Court also has found Trump guilty of insurrection.
So now you think the justice department is controlled by the dems? If the dems have control over the justice department, why wouldn't they charge Trump with more crimes?
That's not how the 14th Amendment works, Congress would first have to pass a law applying the 14th Amendment to Trump, it's not automatically applying. Did you not read the Supreme Court opinions?
How long does it take for you to put on your clown suit and makeup every day?
Aren't you the clever one...
Oppress your working class, but make sure to tip them well.
