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!

Donald Trump told senior aides late Tuesday that he approved attack plans for Iran but has withheld a final order to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing three people familiar with the deliberations.

Picture the scene.


Two aides bursts in to the oval office to find the orange buffoon eating crayons. The smell of McDonald's follows the aides in to the room and wafts towards the most stupid 'president' ever...
{P01135809 eyes widen as he sniffs the air}
"Sir..." eye rolls the first aide "can we attac..."
Chunky boy spits out the crayons and blurts, "Big Mac? It's...is it Big Mac time?
"Soon, 'sir'," retorts the aide with another eye roll, "but first we need to..."
{P01135809 sniffs the air again}. "It's Big Mac time. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac time!" He sings while doing a pointy finger dance.
"Yes, soon...'Sir', Iran is looking quite brown, sign this so can we attack Iran with..."
{P01135809 sniffs the air again. Drool is now dripping from his puckered bottom lip}
"Yes, YES. whatever, do it, do anything, just get me my big macs, FFS!!"
"If to say so. Sign here now and you'll also get an apple pie."
{P01135809 scribbles on to a piece of paper}
"BRING IN THE BIG MACS!"

Both aides leave the room.
"Did he. Did he just agree to a war for a..."
"I always ask him these type of questions when the Macdonald's arrives! He'll agree to anything when he's hangry."
