Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Rand to Dollar conversion rate is shit and none of these Boer expats are going to be able to find jobs, much less housing, in a country with inflated living costs and no dirt poor youth underclass to press gang.

We've been watching these dorks bounce off the American hellscape for years now. These losers show up, putter around for a minute, complain about how difficult it is to survive in the US without three generations of accrued family wealth, and then pack up for home again.

I saw a few interviews from the last batch that went and they're finding it really tough, lol.

Apparently they thought the US was going to help them.

As a South African I would like to thank the Trump administration for deporting the biggots and racists out of our country, your support is greatly appreciated.

Agreed, let them fucking go.

We must rescue the white folks from Africa as Africa is only for black folks...

That's what I'm getting from this.

This is about importing foreign white supremacists, not removing whites from Africa.

As if America doesn't have enough of them already.

I think of it as racist cleansing.

Yes,i said racist and not racial.

I still want some reporter to ask Taco if he understands what the term "asylum" means.

I mean, I still see him going on about people seeking asylum as if they came from a mental institution.
