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!

The Nazis are running scared.
It probably means they're planning to do something really bad, really soon. Yaaaay. Fun for all..
100%. The move itself is an admission of guilt compared to past presidencies, D & R. I worry every night for our union in the US. I really don’t know if we’ll last.
America as you know it is already over. It's just not official yet.
I think the best thing that could happen to the United States is a clean secession of all the non-Nazi states from the union, with two countries left - a Nazi one that will perish under the weight of its own idiotic non-productive redneck population, and the other, new union.
Unfortunately, what's more likely to happen - if anything happens at all and the real freedom-loving Americans don't simply submit to the yoke of fascism - is a civil war.
It’s the Russian dream fulfilled: a fractured, divided union. Not like we didn’t ask for it.
My wife and I were saying that Gen Z and on have no “America was good” reference. I’m late 30s, she’s early 40s, and both of have some image of what that meant. For my kids, I have no clue. We’re in a privileged state, but I don’t feel safe in any way.
I'm gen X and the America I grew up in disappeared thoroughly and completely a quarter century ago. That's when I left the country never to return.
There's nothing worth saving left in America - only good people who are are stuck there now and deserve better.
I can't wait to be arrested when I vote for the wrong people next week. That'll be real fun.
