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!

Stunning claims? How is this stunning? Everyone knows Trump is rude as hell, he doesn't even try to hide it.
Didn't we already know she thought he was rude? Regardless, who cares. The fact that some rich person from some other country agreed with us isn't news worthy.
Maybe it’s stunning because the queen is dead?
Well, I used to think that. Now that is in the Daily Mail I'm less sure.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone except his followers knew that the day he came down that escalator.
One person’s rude is another person’s dominant/alpha.
That's so weird. "Oh wow he's so disrespectful, let's bow to him!" Like, how weak can you be?
Still, for a queen to spill the beans on someone like this, not what I'd expected.
Except she didn't, she kept it private.
Somebody else now wrote in a book she said that, which may or may not be true (I believe it). But she made those statements in private.
Oh, right! Biography, not autobiography. I see
Maybe she said that, or maybe this is like the time The Sun’s psychic contacted Princess Diana and learned that she was (of course) a Brexit supporter.
Imagine being dead for decades and somebody contacts you to ask about politics. Like fuck off, I don't care, I'm dead. Why would anybody who's dead care about politics? Leave them alone.
I imagine most historical figures will be profoundly disappointed when they learn of modern politics... No god-emperors, no global communism, just a capitalist hellhole full of near-fascist governments. Mussolini might have a field day, but imagine summoning the ghost of Ramesses II or Vladimir Lenin into today's political landscape
Is this the JD Vance school of caring?
Not that epitome of truth that is The Sun, surely?
This is coming from the mail, which has only ever been slightly more reputable than the sun. At this point, they could be tied
