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!

it's tiresome seeing all these "tHaT wAs ThE lAsT sTrAw" headlines for years and years, while he just keeps doing whatever tf bullshit he wants with zero consequence
Well if he's not careful, he might get SLAMMED.
It’s almost like the American “resistance” is a bunch of fucking cowards.
“But I have a family! But I have a job”
Go fuck yourself, so did literally everyone else who ever fought against great odds, you absolute clown.
All while still being very proud that "they" did something in ww2
Most people subconsciously know that they would get Charlie Kirk'd five minutes into their career as resistance fighters.
Maybe you muppets shouldn’t have dined out on “give me liberty or give me death” for two centuries if you just thought it sounded cool but didn’t really mean it.
Or all those guns that so regularly end up in school shootings, yet are supposedly essential for their freedom™ and for “fighting an unjust government.”
Especially considering that people have already shot at government forces over issues like fair wages and workers’ rights.
Have you served or been involved in armed conflict before? Ever conducted or been involved with combat operations in any theater of asymmetrical warfare?
Edit: @WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca that was an earnest question. If it was you, I take it that down-vote means "no". However, I suppose there's nothing stopping you from saying "yes", and just lying about it.
First of all, you can call "muppet" someone irl and see what the consequences are.
Secondly, you come off as nothing more than a keyboard warrior.
Thirdly, educate yourself.
Dude's got a point tho.
Canada showed up to both world wars on day one, Muppet.
While you cowards snivelled on the sidelines, profiteering on it, before jumping in on the last ten minutes. Canada isn’t fucking stupid enough to vote in an absolute lunatic. We aren’t dumb enough to have created an electoral college system, and be tied in to a system that doesn’t allow for government removal between election cycles. We know better than to let the head of state and the head of government be the same orange dipshit. We know that the head of state needs to be apolitical.
America didn’t win the wars, you putz, lol. If anything, you cowards ( and you’ve always been cowards) caused them to go on longer than they otherwise would have. And we don’t fight for the King. We fight in his name, and have never answered to him. He answers to us. You dipshits wouldn’t know about that, though because you’re too busy bending the knee to a madman, pretending that you ever have or would ever scrounge up the guts to fight tyranny And here’s a history lesson for you and your likewise illiterate brethren. 1776 wasn’t about freedom or democracy. If it were, there would have been built in protections that could be properly utilized in a crises. Both Britain and the Commonwealth realms had and have far superior systems. You muppets are falling apart from the inside out, and have no one to blame but yourselves. You fucked up from the Reagan era on, so couldn’t even manage a half century as a superpower before you were already in decline. Pathetic little muppets.
Weak, MAGA level ad hominem. It’s interesting how many of you sound the same and resort to the same boring, tired lines when you’re reminded that your good intentions on their own mean fuck all. Defensive in the same way an 8 year old (or Trump supporter) gets defensive. Way to have ChatGPT help you out with that last paragraph, though. Really drives the point home.
If you can't see how at this point in time 'America bad' is extremely accurate, you are hopelessly lost.
Calm down.
Just so I understand properly, are you saying Americans are better than Canadians because your president is so appalling that he requires armed resistance?
Genuinely, I don't understand what the argument is here. How is having "something to resist" a good thing?
It's all a conspiracy by BigStraw
Well, THIS is the last straw for real now!
Source: trust me bro.
After this straw, and that straw, we only have 16 straws left!
The camel's back is vibranium
The majority of democrats in charge of this country seem to just not care... And the Republicans in charge at this point are full fascist steam ahead, and elated by every terrible thing that takes place.
The only hope is a revolution but I don't know who's gonna lead it
Mark Milley
CQ Brown
H.R. McMaster
Jim Mattis
Meroe Park
Dan Coats
Joseph Maguire
Jeffrey Kruse
Alexander Vindman
Tim Haugh
Milton Sands
James Comey
Lisa Franchetti
You’re literally sitting on a pile of decorated generals, heads of intelligence and national security agency leaders who have been forced out by Trump for licking boot or have resigned in protest of Trump.
Where are these cowards? A few are clowning around on social media. If these people won’t stand up, you’re absolutely fucked.
Who's "you"? I'm not American
No one's running out of straw!
