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!

When has any "promise" from PEDOnald ever meant anything?

Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran's oil just as he wants Venezuela's oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.

He's a confused old pedo who has no history of intelligence beyond being bailed out and making threats.

Putin, Netanyahu, billionaires, and a host of others easily manipulate and pull the strings of the Puppet king of narcissism. It's no wonder that the priorities of We the People are not served by this selfish old criminal.

Al Capone got it wrong; when he started being investigated for tax fraud, he should have run for President.

I would take big al over our president now any day. I hate gangsters too generally, they make things more expensive for less value. But to his credit he was mainly circumventing bad laws prohibiting alcohol more people would continue to use than not.

In Boardwalk Empire Capone came off as a real psycho though.

They hit billionaires where it hurts....no oil means no fuel to move products, no helium to make products/chips. No fuel or water to power AI. No way to keep extracting our labor without compensation.

Energy and water rationing is coming soon to everyone. So billionaires are about to be eaten.

You are an optimist. I don't see anything getting better anytime soon.

dictators don't need a high approval rating. That's used when there are fair elections.
