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!

Well if Trump gets his way and the US leaves NATO, then by definition the US would be 3rd world country. So long as he doesn't align with the Soviets, since they're 2nd world.
He's just doing this to fuck with the markets.
And apparently he is already backing off of that date. Its Taco Tuesday but on a Monday
Mr Godzilla is not gonna take to kindly to the tariffs.
Here we go again, more market manipulation, I guess.
"Mr Japan" is gonna tear him a new one.
Iiiiit’s taco time!! 🌮
I expect some good news by Friday... When all stock markets have closed except for the US stocks.
This is just stock manipulation and it has been from the start!
It's ~~infrastructure~~ tariff week.
These staggered announcements are 💯% for insider trading purposes.
so a 90+25 (or thereabouts)day pause?
TACO
You know what happens when you overuse something?
I wonder who will be left holding the bag this time when the music finally stops and the market crashes permanently.
August first might be Friday, but it's taco Tuesday every day in the Whitehouse
Just rename it Tacohouse
