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!

Unfortunately the rest of us get to have the day they voted for too.
And they won’t learn.
“I can’t believe he would do that to us,” said Shirley Adams, the Republican mayor of the tiny farming town of Manzanola, whose groundwater is tainted by naturally occurring uranium. She said she voted for Mr. Trump and still supported him, but felt stung by the veto.
God, no. Come election season just create a war and dial up the rhetoric concerning minorities.
and still supported him
Jesus fucking Christ.
I guess even having uranium in your water is not enough to peel them off.
People wonder how something like Jonestown could happen only need to look at the conservatives and study them for a bit. It's a cult on a grand scale. It probably has more members than any other cult.
It probably has more members than any other cult.
Roman Catholic Church has entered the chat
This is the region of Colorado that voted in Boebert (after she was going to lose badly for reelection in Western Colorado, which itself was a VERY safe republican district). They knew EXACTLY who they voted for (in Boebert and Trump both).
The fact that Boebert is pissed at Trump is icing on the cake.
However, there are a lot of non-Republican people in those parts of Colorado, and lots of migrant workers, as it's all farmland. This really does suck for them.
It really does, because as a state, we didn't vote for him, so stinky don should have no say in this.
And, they’ll vote for him again anyway (or whatever the equivalent future action is) because it’s a death cult.
Oh dear, leopards ate my face again! Trump 2028!
A better question is how many more leopards need to eat faces before ANY Republicans grow either a brain or a spine.
I think it's an astronomical number. Bigly.
That's because he doesn't give a SHIT ABOUT YOU, morons
LOL, why would they be bewildered?
He told his supporters he was going to be their retribution. But anyone with at least two brain cells would realize Donvict is just about revenge on his perceived enemies. All you jerkoffs voting for him - he doesn't give a shit about.
And he's butthurt about Colorado not voting for his fat ass and he's butthurt about Tina Peters not being released on his say-so, and he's butthurt that Boebert didn't choose to help him cover up his pedophilia.
This is your party, dumbasses. This is the kind of thing your party and conservatives adore and have wet dreams about.
We told ya' so.
Not enough. They haven't suffered enough yet.
Wasn’t it because she challenged him on the Epstein files?
At least in part. He's also upset that Tina Peters wasn't just released because His Majesty ordered it so.
Oh, and that Colorado didn't vote for him I am sure plays no small part.
He's a petty and tiny man.
With skin so thin the mildest criticism cut him deeply
