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!

Doesn't matter; we are still infected with the donvict cancer.
Lame duck (maybe), so I don’t think he cares about popularity. He’s pushing out EO’s as fast as he can, and many of them are idiotic.
So he’s more popular this time than last time
Why?
Because information literacy is at an all time low, and people are easily swayed by propaganda on their doom rectangles.
And this time, the entire digital media complex is on his side: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Apple, Amazon.
Because the electorate is about 51% morons and self-interested people willing to let the country burn for tax cuts that will only benefit about 5% of them.
And yet he still got re-elected. We are the dumbest nation comprised of the most idiotic people to ever exist in history.
This is what I keep saying to my friends when we argue politics
We can no longer just say that Dumpster Don is an idiot
We can now say that the entire US is one giant collective idiot
The nation is dumb .... so is it any wonder that they have a dumb leader?
Let's just hope that we don't use that position to terrorize other nations further than we already have
