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!

John Kennedy should be drinking Night Train Express from a paperbag behind the Circle K. He's helped assure that the billionaires will eventually become trillionaires once they vulture all the tanked stocks. He'll be rewarded for it, don't you worry your pretty head about his "concerns".
Couldn't happen to a more deserving pack of rodents.
don't hate on rodents
Yeah but red colour go brrr4r
Dam maybe they should stop voting for it and enabling it.
It's like they want to support a fascist coup and not be executed when it goes wrong.
If only these Republicans "speaking out" against Trump decimating the economy were members of some kind of political body with the power to stop this executive overreach...
The problem is their aren’t enough of them willing to speak up so the few that might don’t wish to lose their power, so they remain quiet convincing themselves they are doing the right thing by “living to fight another day”.
He's pulling a McConnell (blocked impeachment consequences both times), have all the power to prevent it and do nothing, then complain when shit happens because of you to try to shift the blame.
If only...
I was fine with the rape and the fraud and the endless lies and the misogyny and the racism and the homophobia and the transphobia and the corruption and the police brutality and the caged babies and the disappearing of citizens and the terrorism and the attempted coup and the autocracy and the ending the rule of law and the threats to invade neighboring countries and the building-a-golf-resort-on-top-of-a-genocide, but now he's giving Wall Street the jitters, so I'm not so sure about this guy any more.

Okay well hurry up about it.
Tired of false promises, man.
Oh, wouldn't that be nice.
shouldve convicted him the first 2 times he was impeached, but mitch mcconell has his money and left you all to your fate.
Oh cheer up republicans! In 60 years there'll be more idiots who might vote for you. Unless they ever ask any old person why they're homeless.
These idiots passed the CR, and knew it was going to happen lmao tf? is this
Again, fucking over working Americans isn't the issue, working white Americans that voted for this btw, not about their own jobs.
In the long run, we’re all dead
Isn't Foghorn Leghorn quoting Keynes here? Why, I thought Keynes [1] was right up there with Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky [2] in the pantheon of Bad Guys the cons don't know a fucking thing about but constantly talk about.
[1] I'm still convinced a lot of racist dumbfucks thought that Keynesian had something to do with Kenyan, because Obama is Blah.
[2] I remember in the height of qons talking about "Alinsky style politics" I'd ask them to explain what they mean by that? Also, have they read Rules for Radicals? If so, what is so bad in there? What is the book about? I also asked them if the mere use of satire is "Alinsky style politics" does that mean Mark Twain had a time machine and he traveled into the future to get tips from Alinsky or something? Hilarity would ensue...
Didn’t they try to tie Hilary to Alinsky too? Ms. “Super predators” herself.
here's hoping
Fossilized moderate democrats getting an erection for the first time since their 80th birthday at the thought of running on 2004 republicanism: "MOVE OVER LEFTISTS, IT'S OUR TURN IN THE SUN"
wasn’t concerned enough about President Donald Trump's steep international tariffs to vote against them Wednesday
Then shut the fuck up and enjoy your vote.
In the long run, we’re all dead
Yeah, that's the plan. But you guys could have predicted that because we all did.
