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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

Since WWII, we’ve been on a losing streak that would make the NY Jets blush. It couldn’t possibly be because we keep sticking our noses into places we fucking shouldn’t.

us military is not designed to win wars, or for tactical superiority. it's specialized to funnel public funds into military industrial complex shareholders. and it's the best in the world at that

Fucking hell, this is the most accurate statement I have ever read about the US military. I mean, I hate everything about it, but it’s 100 percent true.

The worst part of it all is the stupidest part. He’s says the US has destroyed 100% of Irans military and yet it still exists. He could have said 99% or ANYTHING else but you can’t destroy 100% of something and still claim it’s not fully destroyed.

Put a preteen girl named "Math" in front of Trump and I doubt he'd even go near her.

I hate Trump like everyone else but America looses wars all the time.

but America looses wars all the time.

Also true.

With Trump and Hegseth in charge acting like impotent bullies, the Iranian propaganda lines write themselves.

They're making the world root for the current Iranian regime which is wild.

They're making Americans root for the current Iranian regime which would be inconceivable in most other circumstances. Seriously I'm pretty sure Vietnam was more popular at its end than this.

I thought we were all so tired of the winning?

Big hunky tough guys were coming up to PEDOnald, tears streaming down their face, calling him "sir" and pleading with him to stop all the winning!
