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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.

The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.

The United Nations no longer deserves to be hosted in the United States. As the country becomes more authoritarian, the country has lost that right. It's time to move it elsewhere.

You're idealizing. The beltway has been racist forever so much so that the government had to pay businesses to serve foreign diplomats.

Sad to see for the Palestinian people. Not shocking.

Remember when Trump kept saying he was on Palestine's side?

No, just the bit about strip hotels and bulldozing the whole thing.

Guess Kamala should've done more though.

Oh shut the fuck the fuck up about Harris. There were 2 candidates: one who kept quiet and one who said they should just finish it once and for all get it over with.

You idiots chose the guy who said he want to our gas in the fire

You got played, used. You fucked up. But stop blaming other people for your shitty choices.

Biden allowed israel to finish the job, trump did too, harris would too. One is a honest scum , the other is a hypocrite scum.

Stop pretending that you ever cared about palestinians

Both harris and trump voters who defend their choice are complicit in the.genocide like you scum. You has over 150 years to stop voting for the same terrible cult it was bound to happen that the worse of the worse would win

With Biden / Harris, it was more like that scene in Saving Private Ryan where the guy was slowly plunging the knife into the other guy. With Chuck Schumer right there going "Shhh!"

Kind of wish she had though, not really liking the outcomes.
