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!

Could it just be that Trump thinks that’s how ‘whining’ is pronounced?
Living in WA state you are screwed both directions. Gas prices have skyrocketed and so has cost of nearly every service as they start factoring in the new carbon tax.
Also WA state, I saw the writing on the wall years ago and started investing to get as offgrid as i could. I'm entirely electric independent with solar and battery now, switched everything to as efficient as i could sources (heatpump on anything i can like hot water) working on rainwater collection and filtering atm. Have the filtering and just using it on the city water just need to setup the collection of rainwater
My bill remains the same.
Fast forward to me in 2029 keeping costs down.
There are only three things you need to know about Trump: (1) he always fails, (2) he always lies and (3) he always chickens out.
Unfortunately, he doesn't always chicken out; he's willing to do real damage whenever it creates profits for the people who bribed him.
Saying he's prepared to be a metaphorical wrecking ball is not the same as saying he doesn't always chicken out. When it comes to taking a stand on anything you can always rely on him chickening out and taking the option least resistance. He's more than happy to ensure that his minions are blamed for his actions as long as he isn't personally affected. The whole Epstein saga is a classic example. Sow fear, doubt and uncertainty then, come crunch time, let his Muppets take the fall.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Ah... that explains it
