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!

"You're going to have Elon Musk, you're going to have Jeff Bezos, you're going to have Mark Zuckerberg, and now you actually have the CEO of TikTok sitting in the dais, the non-elected officials who have their finger on the pulse and can pull kind of the strings of the president of the United States. It should send shivers up your spine

This is the gist of it beyond the clickbait.

This shit feels so much like a fallout game come to life. Only... In the games, they waited till 2077.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe 2077 before they've huffed enough of their farts to nuke each other for shiggles.

Fucking clickbait nonsense. Tell me what was done, not how I should fucking feel about the thing you didn't tell me.

When I first saw the headline:

Trump action that ​'should send shivers up your spine'

Of course I thought which one? He does something like that everyday.

Yes I did read the article but they ought to pick a less clickbait headline.
