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!

Any article that begins with "Trump says" isn't worth reading.
Unfortunately, it is. Gotta find out who Trump is trying to fuck or kill so that we can make big enough of a stink to protect them.
I get your point, but, no.
Finding out who he's planning on damaging is important. But an article that starts with "Trump says..." is already too conciliatory.
Every article reporting Trump's insanity should be written appropriately: "In full damage-control mode Trump tries to pretend his name may have been planted in Epstein files."
"Trump violates the constitution again, in claim that..."
"Despite ruling from superior court judge, Trump pushes ahead with illegal kidnappings."
This is what the media needs to do, and every time they don't, it's a failure that doesn't deserve our attention.
Oh yes, you're talking about the media's constant need to sane-wash America's first dictator. You're 100% correct there.
Yup.
I haven't even watched Trump speak since, I dunno, maybe 2019. It was around that time I realized there was literally no value in listening to anything that comes out of his mouth, on any medium.
He's a felon rapist thief traitor that must be stopped. Nothing else matters, certainly not anything he says.
