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!

Democrats:
What can ya do? 🤷♂️
No seriously. Should they be chaining themselves to their desk or something? Jumping up and down and yelling hysterically? Concealed carrying and taking out some Perjury Traitor Greeds?
I dunno. Im askin.
Not voting for the bills would be a start. It's a pretty low fucking bar.
What bills? There’s always a couple dipshits in the bag, but not very many.
128 Democrats just voted against impeaching Trump.
That's far more than "a couple dipshits". Stop believing that the Democrats are on your side. They are not. This is not a battle on party lines. It's a class dispute where the haves want to keep having, and need to keep us have nots in our place.
Yeah, they should have gone forward with the farce. I mean, they know and I know (I don't know if you know) that the impeachment itself would not get to the floor, would not pass a vote, and would not happen. But it would keep it in the news and it would keep the MAGAts barking.
Also I don't know if you know that the reasons for impeachment do not apply. They're arguing trump started a war. That's not the case. It might lead to the case, but that's not the case. "President Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran constitutes a de facto declaration of war." that de facto is doing a lot of heavy lifting and it was already fought over and won by republiQans of yore under Gee Dubz.
So they're not moving forward with a long drawn out battle that won't succeed and isn't based on fact.
Does it look bad? Yeah it looks bad. Is it bad? Not really. I'd much prefer they be out doing viral events to stop the budget bill. I think that's what they're really interested in spending the next several weeks on.
Rest assured the demented rapist can be impeached on any number of things that have a much higher chance of success than this.
Correct. It wouldn't have gone anywhere. That means they could vote any way they wanted and it wouldn't have mattered. They could've supported the movement to impeach to try and win voters over. But they didn't. They chose to suck up to Trump over you.
They are not on your side.
At the bare minimum they should be voting no. Too many of these morons are complicit with the current administration because they approve whatever Trump wants. Even though their constituents are begging them to stop Trump agenda.
Not disagreeing, but that's two years of federal-level opportunity to make some deals for the people back home. I'm just saying they might vote yes once in awhile on something somewhere on this side of the galaxy's "normal" in exchange for a yes from Them for whatever it is.
Nothing like the Big Boof Budget Bill, which holds the whole country hostage. We've seen lots of shutdowns before, a month or two and people get crazy wiggy. I think we should go longer, but I'm not in need of essential services at the moment. So I would think that.
Citizens:
Welp, I went to a parade. I’ve done all I can.
That fucking public land belongs to the fucking public! How DARE you jackasses even think fo selling it off!
🖕🤬🖕
America for sale by literal pedophile Mike Lee. Demon country
Trump govt is breaking rules!
Yes. They do. Every day. They'll continue doing it anyways.
What is the news here?
The news is millions of acres of unspoiled public property will be ripped from us and sold to oil companies for pennies, and then be clearcut, drilled, and made superfund uncleanup sites.
No one but trump and the oil companies will benefit from this.
The US already has enough land for housing and more than enough homes, just not the right kinds and not at all price points.
Who's going to stop them?
If you look at a map of the western states my home state of Nevada is fucked when this happens.
