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!

Trump said he would run this country like a business and he sure is proving it.
Two unqualified buffoons in charge and doing buffoonish things while focusing on appearance over substance telling the most qualified people that they're doing their jobs wrong.
Sounds like pretty much every job I've ever had.
Running it like a business is what got the Challenger and Columbia astronauts killed.
I want it run like a fucking engineer or scientist.
But worst of all, he's running it like he did when he bankrupted his 6 other fucking businesses.
It's being run exactly like a private-equity takeover business. Sears, K-Mart, Radio Shack, Toys R Us, Red Lobster... That's the model.
Run it like Boeing before the merger
Yeah, those people that think having a businessman running the country would be better are either business owners themselves, or have never actually worked in a business.
The thing is nations aren't businesses, and running them like one is fucking stupid.
Running a business like a business is pointlessly destructive and long term stupid
When Boeing was run like an engineering club with a sales department, they were legendary. Now they're run like a business.
Back when Boeing was ran by engineers, you had to crash the plane yourself. It took running the company like a business to come up with the Innovation that automated that
Prioritizing short term profit when running s business is destructive and long term stupid for the business. But some people make a lot of money by buying companies and running them into the ground, so I don't think it's technically "pointless."
What is produced other than cookie clicks?
Too many decades of anti-left propaganda has left people with the crazy idea that the only model for anything is a profit-making business.
Donnie gonna walk in with a stack of little Caeser's and a 2 liter of Dr. Thunder to "show our appreciation".
Sounds about right .... and they'll keep giving everyone the runaround until the money dries up ... then they'll all scatter like cockroaches and leave everyone else holding the bag ... an empty bag .... a very, very empty bag.
