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!

I hope they storm the white house and do a J6 or something. Seems like the right thing to do according to this admin.
In the same way Eric Adams got his first paycheck in Crypto (which he immediately converted to cash through a broker), they're getting paid in TrumpCoins.
It says this is just a bonus
Yeah they were talking about crypto.com throwing in a million and another company (maybe ram?) Throwing in another 400k for additional bonuses. This was at the press conference a few days ago, maybe the one a month ago too. Standard performance of the night/fight of the night is 50k (recently changed to 100k) so the million extra is on top of that. Everyone is still paid whatever is in their contract in USD as well as whatever initial bonus in USD. I guess the additional million will be split between Topuria and Gaethje based on last night's post fight presser. I think Gane is also getting a portion of the extra bonus. Every winner got an additional 25k on top of their win bonus (if win bonuses are in their contract) as well according to Dana at the press conference. I watched the majority of the press for this card, as I do with all the cards. I didn't see that the fucking Trump's were involved in the crypto aspect. Fucking poisoning everything they touch. So mad this is how many people are being introduced to the sport. Fucking embarrassing.
I keep saying it because I think it's likely true - this is probably foreshadowing for the grift of not only this century, but possibly the biggest grift of all time:
I kinda get why parody/caricature/satire is so difficult nowadays, because what do you do when reality is already THIS ridiculous?
