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!

What are those? Some sort of pastry?
I can't tell if you're joking.
baaack in my day everything was a fucking joke on the internet. now, if someone doesnt write /s everyone's like DUDE come ON I can't believe you'd be so naive!!!!
There are just a lot more idiots on the internet nowadays, so obviously things won't stay the same.
People these days need to be 🥄 fed sarcasm, i keep getting hit with "Poe's Law" or some non thinking answer, if you are feeling extra spicy you could start doing 🥄/s, personally I am mostly done with /s
im with you.
i wont ever type /s! a thousand times no
That's entirely valid, I just hope neither of you complain when your deliberately unclear intentions are misread.
Banana Republic
Other branches silent as usual
Off with their head if they speak against the king!
And they'll spend tax payer money to get it ready for presidential use, then bet Trump gets to keep it after. Such bull shit. A straight up public bribe without consequence. I hate this country.
Bet? It's literally what they have said will happen. It will be "transferred to the Trump presidential museum" but then at the same time be his to use for all travel post presidency...so essentially it's his to use
why y'all are so pessimistic.
maybe it's rigged to go boom.
most corrupt administration in the history of the United States of America
In the history of western democracy, more like.
Someone with technical skills has to do the needful.
I hope they pretended to be enthusiastic like when a cat brings you a dead mouse in exchange for all the cat food you’ve given them over the years.

A no strings attached gift…
