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!

Wait... wasn't he just giving a "press conference" about how grocery prices have gone up? If not price controls, what will hinder price gouging?
Well, we're still waiting for the details on that "amazing" healthcare plan him and his team lied about having when they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so I'm sure it's just around the corner!
Did he actually say that? I just saw the dumbass holding up two sizes of tic tacs and idiotically proclaiming "tHiS iS iNfLaTioN".
More tax reliefs for rich people.
Tax cuts for the elite. It will trickle down to cheaper groceries. Read the art of the deal already.
We need to De-Woke the agricultural sector. There are too many regulations. Not enough people can keep a cow in their back yard and sell milk to the neighbors.
Retvrn to Tradition!
Just... not anywhere close to Trump-owned real estate.
Oh, I think there should be a cow and a chicken hutch in every Trump Towers lobby.
backyard chickens in cities.
Of course going vegan could also lower prices.
Sure. But then people will accuse us of being insufferably annoying for knowing the ingredients to a good curry.
Weren’t you paying attention? He’s not going to use price controls, he’s going to use container size controls.
It can’t be communist if it’s big!
the shrinkflation shall continue until his tiny hands can wrap themselves around a can of diet coke.
Like that picture of Shaquille O'Neal with the water bottle?
Only he can do it. With big numbers, the best. I mean low
He will simply tell the companies they have to lower the prices, and they will say "no way" and he will say "way".
Problem solved.
Party on @Coelacanth
I mean, we're looking
Down on Wayne's basement. Only
That's not Wayne's basement.
Only by giving massive amounts of no-strings-attached government money to Smithfield and ConAgra while lightly scolding them about shrinkflation can we address high grocery costs!
