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!

We all knew he was going to do this and you fucks voted for him anyway.
Fascist regimes always need scapegoats.
On Monday, Trump posted to his social media site asking the makers of the shots, Moderna and Pfizer, to prove the shots worked. “Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Others disagree!” “I want the answer, and I want it NOW.”
Ok bud, we’re about to see what it’s like when they’re not available again, so buckle the fuck up.
They've already demonstrated the efficacy of the shots again and again. What kind of proof would Donald Trump, whose prof at college called him the dumbest student he'd ever had, whose cabinet members have described him as a "fucking moron", and who since then has suffered significant mental decline, understand?
Proof: 💰💰💰💰
100% this. He wants them to come and bend the knee, while giving him over-the-top praise and gifts.
HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUSHED OPERATION WARP SPEED! The literal thing that created the shots! The method of them being "developed too fast" was Trump!
We were always at war with Eastasia.
MAGA has one rule: Trump is never wrong, and is always the victim, no matter what history there is.
While I agree, the cult has fractured a few times. It's the irritating part of Trump that he's just smart enough to back off when he knows he's losing his cult.
The vaccine thing is one of them. Early on there was a speech where he's talking about how good it was, and that he has it and that his people should have it. His crowd booed him. That moment he went full anti-vax in his rhetoric. Trump is in the lead and pouring gasoline on the fire, but he doesn't have control over his own cult if it goes a way he doesn't want it to go. Unfortunately he's just smart enough to keep them happy knowing they'll tear him apart if he steps in their way.
Oh they’ll be available in states like California, Oregon, Colorado, Massachusetts, etc. where those state governments are willing to stand up to Mr. Worm-Brain. Where they won’t be available will be the Deep South & other red states.
I’m willing to bet those same states will prohibit reporting on Covid deaths, so there will be no easy way to document that the vaccines work.
Most of us lived through 2020. We know what it's like.
Then why did you jackasses confirm him to begin with? What a joke.
He was supposed to destroy the Department of Health and Human Services slowly.
I mean surely setting it all on fire so the corporations can fuck us is what they want, right?
Oh, that's such a shame /s
