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!

Foreign govts buying up stock?
Bingo
The founders who wrote the Emoluments clause would have a cow if they saw that this guy, who was President once and is a coin flip away from doing it again, is quite literally traded on a public market. That alone should disqualify him.
I think there is all sorts of foreign money pouring into that to prop up his personal net worth. And while I have no proof of that, just the fact that it looks like that is possible should be enough to steer votes away.
But alas, 74 million people saw no problem with it last time, and that number is likely to grow.
I think this shows how much Twitter has fallen to the suck instead of how "good" Truth Social has become.
Came here to say exactly this. Of course Musk knew this would happen - that's why he tried so hard to get out of buying Twitter back in late 2022 before he realized it was a lost cause.
Also highlights how easily the wealthy can manipulate the market.
Unhinged orange turd's Nazi wankfest now worth more than Spacecunt's Nazi wankfest, yay.
