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!

I made my dad go on a rant, when I said if we didn't have birth right citizenship then Trump would be a fucking illegal alien. Because his grandfather was a FUCKING IMMIGRANT! I literally screamed the last part because sick of my dad railing against Mexicans and blaming them for everything. Even though he used to work illegals and even paid to gst some ship in illegally.

Thankfully I finally cut my dad off I'm done. Sucks that he gets to stay wealthy due to what the true rich done to this country. All that money and he still a toxic and unhappy person.

Oh, don't worry, he'll get his next. Pretty soon there won't be a middle class, there will only be the 1% and the 99% equal in our suffering.

Man I hope your right. He pisses me off. He finally got what he wanted to be rich again. He making 80k a month and doesn't have to work. But I can see just how miserable he is. He fucking rants and raves. He decided to cheat on his wife with a dumb bimbo, who he thinks loves him. But she only cares about his money. On the another hand he got what wanted with that. They are making so much money that the wife he hates won't divorce him so he gets to eat his cake to. He always wanted to have a wife and a mistress (I don't know why) shit goes back to when he cheated on my mom and divorced her to marry my ex step mom.

So he divorced my mom and married a woman 20 years his senior because she just inherited 2 million dollars. But at same time he still was sleeping with my mom. This went on for about 6 months, until my mom said he have to choose. Her or my step mom. His reply was "why can't I have both."

Yet all the money a wife and a girlfriend and he still miserable and takes it out on all of us. Calls us losers and thinks Trump is savimg our country. Fuck face got no clue how much Trump is hurting us all. All except him who brags how rich he is everyday until you ask for some then he broke. I hate my father and always have.

Owns an Rv park near Fortworth Texas. He as ovef 115 spots at 850 a month plus electric. Houses so bad in the area that lots of people are turning to live RV rather then trying to rent a house or apartment. He brags that his waiting list earns more than his laundromat.
