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!

That's not it

If the American people and all it's institutions and politicians, academics and public leaders all just stand aside and do little or nothing ... then they will lose their country.

A country is not lost because of one man .... it's lost because everyone just gave up and allowed it to be lost

Making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part.

There's no loophole here... republicans managed to take over every branch of government and are willingly destroying the constitution because their views matter more to them than America & democracy do.

It's usually called treason 🤷🏻

Throwing the game board against the wall, swallowing your opponent's pieces, and calling the game store owner a slur is not a "loophole." It is the brazen and willful destruction of the social contract that makes the game work.

His admin has started saying if people criticize this, it means they're supporting terrorism...

Which makes them a terrorist too...

And if you criticize that, back to step 1.

trump just said on a hot mic to a room for a laughter he's "sending homegrown's next".

Which means disappearing American citizens to a death camp.

I wonder when people are going to wake the fuck up and realize he's literally put us in a position where it's us or him.
His existence is a threat to everyone else's.
