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!

I'm using this, and sharing it with everyone I know.
The hat needs to be more pointy and more straight.
Yeah, it's a bit dark, too.
Congratulations on getting what you voted for.
Living in the US. Before I buy anything, I do my best to check the manufacturer out to see that it comes from a blue state. Check on Goods Unite Us to find out if they donate more to Republicans or Democrats. I am postponing or self-performing tasks and work that would require a "trade", since I'm guessing those people are more conservative anyways. Sorry to any reasonable peopIe I may be accidentally boycotting.
I know it's not perfect, but its at least something.
All efforts great and small.
If you need trade labor your best bet is going to be ensuring the labor is union. Still probably conservatives but I've known my fair share of progressives in trade unions.
We are paying for the billionaires' tax cuts through tariffs now.
Your grocery bill going up? This is why.
It's only starting. It'll go up more now that the harvests are supposed to be coming in. And once the non-harvested wheat isn't made into flour, and the excess veggies aren't frozen and canned. It's all going to go up this fall.
Time to fire some more statisticians.
Release the Epstein files
Win stupid prizes
Gotta get rid of whoever is reporting the numbers. Use God-Emperor Trump's tried and true tactic: if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Lemme get out my tiny violin...
To government collected $105 (or was it $150) billion…. From Americans (that’s the part that’s always left out.
I am sorry that your pedo enabling is not as profitable as you want it to be......
