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!

I’ll bet $100 his browser history is full of trans porn. These psychopaths are (nearly) always masking a desire they’re ashamed of.

The party who's caused a recession every presidential term they've held power in my lifetime... Might cause a recession this time too!?!?

Try to kick the football again Charlie Brown 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.

War on those who are awake?

Revealed? We always knew that was the case.

He’s trying to convert our corporate oligarchy into genuine feudalism. That’s been the right-wing MO for over half a century.

The good news is that Rome lasted for a good while longer than Nero did.

It's class war. It's been class war all along.

That's why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he's in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.

It's basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.

It's always been a class war ..... when you think about it, it's never stopped.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They felt fear because of Luigi. Nothing changed. They simply must be removed.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Luigi worried them, he didn't cause them fear. It's also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they'll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi's would permanently solve the problem.

They felt fear for only one minute.
