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!

And it only took days, instead of weeks. Things are looking up! /s
What were they supposed to do instead? Attack yhe capital buildings.... the fuck do you people want from them?
Well I'm not being judgy, but Washington AC/DC would be a good start.
What, we’re keyboard warrior lefties. Insubordinate . . . and churlish! The people on the front lines facing fascist attacks are weak and craven tools of corporate oppressor class. Bourgeoise capitalist pawns of industry vainly licking the boots of ownership instead of losing their chains like we totally have.
Also we’re not even US voters we just like to pretend we know all about US politics because, well, that's what we do.
Truthfully? I'm waiting for Civil War 2.0. On a side note, on July 10 Newsweek reported a $ 40 million bounty on Trump, by Iran. I hope that's gone down but fear it may have increased. Anyone know what it is now?
I mean, I am too, but im not cheering for it bcz im not a moron...civil wars are brutal, and nobody wins in them.
Nobody should cheer for a civil war. Or hope for one. But right now it would not be imprudent to prepare for one. Or at least some kind of resistance against Trump and his Gestapo.
