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!

Can't robots make toys for us in 2025? We shouldn't need to use humans at slavery level wages.
The robots in China are cheaper, especially when there are tariffs to import them.
Trump's extortion through tarrif's plan is working so well huh? What a fucking joke.
Do you want to tell them that people with a diminishing budget and ballooning costs will simply stop buying toys, or shall I?
😂
But muh 11 year old baby girl dosent need 30 dolls!!!11!1!!
Only 2 or 3 or 4!
And they might be more expensive than 30 dolls
Damn, and my kid just asked for 30 dolls for Christmas.

Is your last name Trump?
The CEOs are too woke and won't go along with donvict's plans!
^ millions of howling magashitgibbons, probably.
Only doll ill buy is a Trump voodoo one.
you will probably needs to get one ifs dyed rat hair first.
Ironically, the only toy that will be made in the USA.
2 dolls, how about no dolls, you don't need dolls in the mines.
Here, play with this pixelated pickaxe.
India boasts the most competitive labor costs in Asia, with a national-level minimum daily wage of approximately INR 178 (equivalent to US$2.13), translating to around INR 5340 (approximately US$63.97) per month.

With economics like that, it completely makes sense that tariffs will bring manufacturing back to the USA. /s
Plastic widgets isn't coming back.
Oh come on. Just get 2 barbies instead of 30, unpatriotic bitches.
I realize it's a joke, but donvict and his shitstain crew have managed to now politicize not only nearly every other fucking thing, but now they have managed it for toys, too.
I mean, they managed to politicize the fucking weather, and that's on top of fact-based reporting, science, medicine, vaccines, social distancing measures, etc....
Turns out literally everything (figuratively speaking) is political because politics dictate how everything is run and how we live our everyday lives.
Sure but not everyone wants to talk about red vs. blue all the time in everyday conversations. The qons make that harder and harder with each passing year. They've ruined just trying to stay on "nice" topics like the weather - if it snows or you get a cold snap, it's all "gosh, where is Al Gore right now???!!!" kind of thing.
Now even presents for children are going to be loaded with magabrained overtones.
When the climate stops being nice due to the long term effects of climate change, it makes sense that people will start talking about Al Gore and what could have been. Whether you want to talk about it or not, it's still political.
Political Dolls would be a nice name for a punk rock band.
It’s such a crazy out of touch statement to make… mind boggling
