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 i have a gun. Not sticking around to see women and children raped and homes invaded by militias.

I have some specialized battery gear coming right now, I hope it made the cutoff... then once it's here, I hope I can locally source something similar...

we don't seem to understand we're stuck in here with lots of unregretful trump voters.

That Americans might use their heads and finally start riots... Or take Napoleon's end as an example. Instead of waiting peacefully and hypocritically blaming everything on the other side.... That's not how it works... I can tell you that as a German. The Nazi accusations can still be made today in general... but you probably want to experience that for yourselves. Hypocrite

Napoleons end? Undoing the revolution?

that reminds me, what ever happened to the spy balloons and the migrant caravan

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

The migrant caravan ate the spy balloon then flew past the border checkpoints with the ingested helium. And then transformed into Haitian, of course. Then crash landed in the Suez Canal and blocked it.

Suez Canal was an Inside Job

Cargo Ships Cant ~~Melt Steel Beams~~ Block Canals

That's tucked away with annexing Panama, Canada and Greenland in Trump's "Stuff to bring up when I need a distraction" category.

And keep up with the times. Those were so 3 years ago. So passe. Hating on trans kids and slapping tariffs on penguins is all the rage now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Are we still protesting drag queen events?? Is that part of it??

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It should be: "The last boats without crippling tariffs are arriving from China".

This makes it sound like the tariffs are Chinese.

Does it actually though? It's pretty irrefutable which group of dumb fucks did this.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Why does it feel like half of the US just doesn't care?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

Are they about to start caring?

Honestly, I'm on the other side of the world but the idea of shortages just generally is pretty scary.

Shit is about to get real for everyone surely.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

They believe any negative press is bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Half? Try 2/3. Remember those non-voters?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Moral righteousness is about to bitch slap them so fucking hard.

Can't wait.

Hasn't directly impacted them yet.

Watched a clip from a Boston dock worker today.

That port was virtually empty.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

And all of those clips are full of MAGA saying nuh-uh!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They have never believed their eyes, now is not a good time to start.

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

When you have faith, you don't need eyes (nor brains)
