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!

He needs to be stopped. He will economically destroy this country.
I wish there was a NGO that was handing out donvict and fElon "I did that!!!" stickers to put on EVERYTHING.
Damn, Joe Biden is so powerful that he's still president and responsible for gas prices (/s) even though he's not president anymore
I still cannot get over how their version of Retweet is 'ReTruth'. Absolute shit for brains
And the users of that site will tell you with a straight face that they are "free thinkers" and are immune to propaganda.
Please tell me this isn't a real screenshot
I wish I could but it's out there. He made that post.
I don't know how this stuff continues to shock me, but that is fucking wild.
There was an article about how interest rates raise to 3%. Seeing the comment section was wild. It was all Biden's fault because Trump was only in office for three weeks. Don't mind that he's been spouting off tariff talks since last year.
However, anything good that happened, even prior to Trump taking office, was his doing.
Also everything was immediately Biden's fault when he took office after Trump.
In 2024, stocks were high, jobs were strong, feds were cutting rates, inflation was under 3%.. Biden did it, the soft landing from COVID. Anyone who paid any attention knew the economy was in a good place and, four years in, only Biden's admin would have had any affect.
Part of me is weeping for this nation, but another part thinks the nation deserves it for being so fucking stupid.
Yup. Biden managed the economy probably better than any other President in my lifetime. When Kamala was asked if she'd do anything different and said she wouldn't people threw a fit. Because no one understood that there was a very narrow path to take to get inflation down while avoiding millions of people losing their jobs.
But I guess now people will soon understand how the billionaires will get inflation down really fast. I wonder if the people that voted for Trump who will soon be unemployed will start to appreciate what Joe Biden did a little more. Probably not.
Even when it started under Trump, notably as he sent out the first round of stimulus checks.
The ones he personally insisted be signed with his name, against the law.
I guarantee the CPI will stop being published very soon. Can’t have high inflation if you don’t measure it!
Cant have high inflation if you fire all the people who compute the inflation numbers either.
