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!

If you thought the country needed you and you thought you could really help our nation, is there even a one percent chance you’d consider running?
“Just between us, and the readers of this magazine — there’s zero chance,” Mrs. Obama replied.
Yeah, can't say I am surprised. I mean, she saw what that did to her husband. Not sure how it looks from USA pov, but from outside, the man visually aged two decades during his cadency.
What they did to her too, racist ass anti-trans bullshit.
Obama allowed the Republicans to viciously kick him around for eight years, yet he never stopped trying to appease them. He should have ruthlessly prosecuted the crimes of the illegitimate Bush administration, and showed the proto-Nazi Republican party that treason would not be tolerated. If he had, there never would have been the environment for MAGA to rise. But he failed us, like all those corporate, Republican-Lite Demopublicans.
Now he's still playing the same old game, like most of them, pretending that its business as usual, and letting HitlerPig get away with being Putin's muscle, as he actively, gleefully destroys America, right in front of our faces, ss he plays golf. Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
How long do we have to tolerate obvious TREASON before we stop it? Do we have to wait until the entire Democratic free world has collapsed, billions of people have died, and Sociopathic Oligarchs are sitting on top of the pile, smoking cigars and drinking expensive scotch, and gloating about their success, before we can finally admit what we already know right now, BEFORE the carnage - that the destruction of Democracy was their plan all along?
It's time for some coalition of respected leaders, including military, to step up and end this madness decisively. There are a lot of potential tipping points (a war against NATO allies, leaving NATO, an alliance with Russia/ China/ N Korea, attacking Canada/Mexico, giving away Alaska and/or Taiwan, a draft, disappearing American citizens without due process, designating citizens as terrorists for exercising free speech, etc), but the one bright red line that can NEVER be crossed, is elections. If HitlerPig suspends elections for ANY reason at all, it will become time to literally execute the entire MAGA leadership. That is precisely why the Founding Fathers created the 2nd Amendment, and we should honor them by applying it as they intended.
I had no problem imagining it for at least a year before Election Day.
Nobody fucking listened.
Don't forget all the dipshits constantly gaslighting
I'm still getting it. My retarded family thinks Trump is going to fix shit. I keep fucking telling them he's the one breaking shit
At what stage do I say "fuck you family, you helped give me this mess"
Is it after I get deported? Put onto trains and into ovens?
So many people have no fucking problem with Nazis.
I hate people. I hate how stupid they all are.
They're all just so God damned dumb and my world would be better if they all just died
I stopped speaking with my parents a couple of weeks after January 20, and let them know that the ball's in their court and if they want to have a relationship, all they need to do is acknowledge that they were wrong about Trump.
It fucking sucks. But I just can't abide that shit anymore. Without getting into details, I might not have a job this time next year (after a decade there) directly because of the actions of this Administration. And even still, they don't seem to care.
I've started wondering how they'd react if I was disappeared. They'd likely tell people that I probably did something to deserve it, before ever admitting that they support a fascist dictator.
Shit's a real bummer.
I'm sorry friend. I don't understand how people can be so defective and have no empathy
The irony is that the values that I'm standing by here were taught to me by them. I may not have stayed in their church, but the "good parts" definitely stuck with me. I'm empathetic, in part, because I was taught to be by them.
I imagine if they were raising me now, they probably wouldn't have let me watch shows like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers that only helped solidify those values.
Back then we went to a multi-cultural church, and had several very good friends that were people of color. If that were happening now instead, I'm not sure how they would be able to reconcile that with their political views. Just ignore the cognitive dissonance, I guess?
Their minds have just been so broken by conservative propaganda that I don't even recognize them.
FR it's like nobody remembered anything that happened between 2016 and 2020, or that they thought an actual dictatorship wouldn't be so bad.
Tariffs are basically tax on Americans.
