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!

Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.

Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.

I'm rooting for you!

who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.

Muslims were a key swing vote in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin.

More importantly, the dems might have actually won if they had taken this opportunity to show that they were capable of listening to and learning from their constituents.

Trump demonstrated that he could grow and adapt from his previous term while the dems insisted on dictating terms and asserting that everything was fine without room for criticism or growth.

Improve and grow.

Listen and adapt.

Do better.

This is proven by the data. Every poll on the subject reflected the sentiment that, had Harris split from Biden on Israel-Gaza, more would vote Harris. This was known before the election. This data was ignored. People were screaming for their rights up to the last second. Many (not all) still voted Harris. And now they are getting screamed down for still having the gall to express their anger at humans being treated as animals. It feels hopeless. The white moderate liberal has no shame or empathy.

No one is screaming down a nose holding Harris voter. She was a shit candidate with shit policy.

But given the only two options, she would have been better for people all around the world. Including Gaza.

There'd be a chance of stopping things. But now trump is drawing up condo plans

Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.

They were complaining that Biden was doing nothing for the situation.

What did they think Trump was going to do for them?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, he was the "Muslim ban" president, so it couldn't have been good.

But that ship has sailed. We have a malicious, greedy oligarch in control of the USA now.

People always start taking the status quo for granted eventually. On one hand, Trump might actually end the Palestinian genocide. Just, not in the way they want.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Yeah he'll get the genocide finished as quickly as possible.

God. Damn these people are so pants shittingly stupid.

They are going to be yelling about how no palestinian can be removed from their land even as they are being tossed onto a plane to El Salvador.

Stupid fuckers. All it's going to take is one u s soldier getting his boot scuffed, and they'll round them all up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They've been scuffing the boots of IDF soldiers for years and they're still going

But, hey, I'm sure the US is totally different, look at how easy and cheap it was for us to occupy Iraq /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Why would trump's military care about easy or cheap?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He's ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War ~~day 1~~ ~~week 1~~ ~~whenever convenient~~ committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.

You know. Peaceful things.
