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.

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.

USA people, if you don’t manage to get out of this jam, it’s been real. One last chance guys, don’t mess it up.
Midterms are more than half a year away and they already start normalizing the narrative of the next 'big steal'. Until November they will have convinced their base that a democrat win would solely be based of the Reps not being allowed to cheat the election (which is somewhat true but you know how they'll mean it).
Good luck hoping for the outcome to be an non-violent end of Trumps presidency.
It's really easy for Republicans to make this argument as well.
This makes a lot of sense to some guy from Kansas. Everyone he knows loves Trump, so how can Trump lose? I hear this from a lot of relatives.
Trump does love the uneducated...
Especially toddlers.
Hey, remember when we helped out with the whole hitler situation? Want to return the favor?
We were this close to being enemies over Greenland. This is your own mess, nothing like Germany invading allies. Also doing "regime changes" in other countries is mostly an American thing, we don't really do that.
Yeah, please be our enemies over Greenland, nobody with a brain wants that shit. But sure, wipe your hands clean and leave the US to its fate. Let's find out together what happens when even more unhinged psychos control the world's most powerful military.
You're acting like it would be our fault if we went at war over Greenland? Wipe our hands clean from what?
You’re the ones who torched the alliances and forced us to be enemies.
For once in your life it would be a good time to look into a mirror as a nation and admit that it was you and you alone who shit the bed. The rest of the world literally begged you to come to your senses and you have only gotten worse.
Isn't that what you said after you invoked Article 5 of NATO that one time? I'm pretty sure we came and shot a bunch of Arabs for you guys...
They will have to before its over if we don't get rid of this trash pile of humans.
Hitler didn't have nukes and the most powerful military in the world, so I can't blame them for being reluctant. Plus, most other countries have their own surge of far-right parties to deal with.
