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!

Which is a grave offense with this new regime, because that means you’re gay with yourself.
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
Once she gets her benefits slashed be sure to talk about how great the Republicans are and isn't she glad she got what she wanted with her vote? Thank goodness trump got rid of that pesky public assistance, that was costing the rich real money.
I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they've lost, "tough shit, you specifically voted for this"
"but he's hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!"
Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn't?
I've been listening to interviews and most people think Trump won't do what he says he will, much less something that he says he won't. It's unbelievable.
Sadly yes, I told many people about it and they all said "Trump's not going for it, he rejected it, that's just fear mongering"
Bastards
Every person that said " they just want abortion rights to be up to the states," was either ignorant, or an idiot. Unfortunately it doesn't matter anymore, they fell into the I support fucking women's rights category.
One of my family members actually said that they wouldn't vote for P25. I told them it was a platform, not an item on a ballot... confused looks.
Yes, my MAGA family members bought Trump's line of "I don't know who is involved in that".
Anyone who thought different, who thought "Project 2025" was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.
I'm so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. I'm so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense it's just so depressing. and I hate living in a red state surrounded by idiots who genuinely think this is a good idea, and think I shouldn't even have basic rights.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he's also ruining other countries too
Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isn't on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.
I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.
They know they can't win if people know who they are and what they want. Maybe this will teach a small fraction of their supporters who they really are.
People knew, they still voted for him.
They gave him a fucking mandate
It's not like they've gone through any pains to hide it. Honestly, he stood on stage and shouted it at people. He said it directly to the press.
I'm not sure he could have tried any harder to tell them exactly what his plan was and who he is.
He didn't win despite who he is; he won because of it. He won because his base is that awful.
But the flyer I got attached to my door said Trump totally disavowed it! Would a flyer attached to my door lie?
And they want to attack overtime and Social Security. Great fucking job, Americans!
Don't forget: replacing nonpartisan government experts with Trump appointees, defending and reclassifying public media and banning pornography.
May the ones responsible suffer the consequences of their actions.
For the very unfortunate people becoming collateral damage, aka the remainder of the human population, may fate look mercifully upon us.
Can’t wait for every one of you fucks to realize what you’ve done voting for that scum. We’re all fucked.
Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don't have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.
None of it will matter because there won't ever be another free and fair election again.
There will be no "democrats come in". I'll be surprised if there is ever another election.
The only thing that could change this is the people making heads roll.
But we won't.
it's funny, you think there's enough time.
clocks done, boy. the bell has rung, the match called, and the crowd is gone.
pack your bags and find somewhere else to hang up your hat.
we lost, so much.
The Americans are now really the leopards that are eating their faces in this moment.
