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!

Poor Haiti is always getting shit on.
The best, most patriotic people I served with were two guys from Haiti.
Haiti had the nerve to actually fight back against their slavers and win their independence. Well you see all the slavers that controlled trade couldn't have those ideas catching on, so they blocked out and isolated Haiti from many trade deals. Haiti got fucked with paying France all the money France lost from the rebellion.

"It wouldn't happen if it weren't filled with black people!" - Republicans
They hate it because it was the place where the slaves rose up and overthrew the colonial government.
Honestly surprised Palestine isn't in there. The man hates those people.
Ah, but including Palestine means recognizing it as a sovereign nation. I believe Trump views Palestine as a region in rebellion against Israel.
True
Which is really weird when you realize they helped elect him.
More specifically all the American people who refused to vote for Harris because she wasn’t pro-Palestine enough for them did.
Sure, it was an absolutely stupid take as Trump is far, far worse for everyone, but there you go.
Palestine isn't a country, or you can bet it would have been on the list.
Because the US keeps vetoing any UN recognition. It's considered a sovereign state in most of the world.
Whatever, still not a country.
What is a country to you?
Per Wikipedia. Emphasis mine.
ETA: the word "country", again, per Wikipedia
The fuck did Laos and Chad do? Like I can kinda get the reasoning for the rest even if it's a fucking stupid thing to do regardless but aren't Laos and Chad relatively stable right now? Did I miss something?
My money is on him thinking Chad is a person.
It means lake and yeah I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that was a thing. Yeah know I'm bordline a NEET because I make interviewers nervous yet these fucken ghouls can be dumber than shit and control the fucken country, seems a bit unfair.
Also I make interviewers nervous because I don't blink enough and radiat Autism and PTSD, I hate that getting a job requires what amounts to a vibe check.
"I hate that guy!”
He's still in the Vietnam era, dodging the draft and tending to his bone spurs.
Why Iran? Like the stereotypical Iranian refugee is a doctor who wants rights
