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!

This is my theory: 1. Trump will try to declare a national emergency at the end of September or early October in order to stop the midterms from happening due to the ongoing “conflict” with Iran or any other geopolitical situation that he has caused himself. 2. The midterms will still take place, although it will be heavily scrutinized by the right with the possibility of violence toward people on the left on election day. 3. The midterms will heavily favor the Democrats leading to a total wipeout for Republicans in all states as a result the Republicans will cry foul and that they were cheated, causing immediate January 6 style riots all over the country and possibly even the capital again. 4. Regardless of the results of the midterms, Trump will use their results too justify him running in 2028 and at the beginning of next year he will do everything in his power to get the Supreme Court and anybody else to stand behind his presidential run and next summer, he will immediately pivot into campaigning. 5. While I do believe it is over for Trump and the Republicans, there’s always that small what if. If he manages to stay alive until 2028 I have that saddening feeling that there is a very good possibility he could win again. I will happily eat my own words on all of this, after it’s just a theory…stay safe and informed everyone.
