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!

Although no one was prosecuted, the congressional committee final report said, "there is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient."
Damn, I simply can't imagine why these things keep happening..
I've read a lot about this incident. The bottom line is it was going to be too embarrassing to the US government and corporate interests and so the business leaders likely received a stern talking to behind closed doors to never attempt anything like this again or else bad things would happen to them (presumably family names ruined, contracts canceled, etc.). A deal that, in fairness, they appeared to honor afterward.
Meanwhile the US is throwing money and contracts at Peter Thiel after he said openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America. When the dollar becomes worthless, what is he going to draw his power from?
Bitcoins!
Just don't tell them how bitcoins have value...
One of them was literally a Bush
It's ~~THE DEEP STATE!~~ nothing!
-Republicans!
Every accusation is a confession.
The Derp State.
Do they refer to it as their Thousand-Year Reich or is that just its unofficial name?
It's a good thing JD Vance is such a massive dork that not even Republicans like him
Wasn't corporatism a core principle in Mussolini's brand of fascism?
I’ll be shocked if any of them can harness MAGA, they are all uncharismatic unlikable twerps
I think their goal is to tear everything down so the people are forced to rely on them for food, medicine, everything. True feudal state situation. Voting and personality are not needed with that mindset.
The rubes have already served their purpose. Now is the time to dismantle the mechanisms that would remove them from power, so they can just stay on and laugh at our impotence to do anything about it.
“Our impotence to do anything about it,” say the people who have tried literally nothing
In other news, the sky is blue and water may in fact be wet as scientists discover every water particle is indeed surrounded by water.
A more accurate analogy: The earth is round and germs make people sick
Secret?
They've been fucking shouting it for years while fucking retards replied with 'both sides', silence or outright cheers in the case of the bigots.
