Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The US government now has completed its transition into a full den of scum and villainy.

The top will be gleefully indulging in grotesque self enrichment.

Musk will race himself to become the first trillionaire, all the while kicking downwards.

For all of them it will be indeed a golden time of free money.

The longer he talks, the more it's clear he has no idea...

He wants to abolish the "Green New Deal", he knows that was never passed, right?

Whether he does or not, it doesn't matter. He definitely knows the idiot masses don't. And since he's scared the media into not fact checking him, many of them won't find out. Many more won't believe or care if you told them he was wrong.

He'll continue to say crap like this and if he's called on it, he'll herald it into a smear on his opponents and a victory for the people...

NBC news just broke in to announce Biden just pardoned his entire family.

I typically refrain from posting political things on my socials but seeing so many people on TV and the internet proudly cheering for someone so full of unconcealed hatred makes me happy that I don't live in the United States.

It feels that way because that's what the media is trying to portray.

Wat? This shit ain't spin.

If you look at direct quotes from Trump and his immediate staff it's very overt hate.

They haven't been hiding it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm talking about how it feels the entire world is cheering Trump on. Chill the fuck out the hate is fucking obvious.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where is the entire world cheering him on? The media in other countries is very anti-Trump.

Melania looking like she's already channeling her inner Hugo Boss.
