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!

Can't even get it right when these idiots are admitting they're wrong.
GAS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS OF AN ISSUE EITHER WAY BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE PISSED AWAY 2 YEARS PRETENDING ELECTRIFICATION WERE DEAD.
…..and what did they learn? That’s right, nothing.
Some Trump supporters believe in objective reality? Well, that’s a start.
Lots of things would be cheaper.
Well, duh.
Exactly one Iran war cheaper
Tarrifs, corruption, ICE funding, concentration camps, protest response, extra assassination attempts, remodeling the white house every six months, the ballroom, setting up adversarial trade relations with most of the world, lawsuits (sometimes against himself in order to extract money from the government), Trump has spent more than any other president and has greatly increased the debt ceiling.
It is expected but still sad that only some can admit not being at war with Iran nor closing the strait of Hormuz, IN HINDSIGHT, would have led to cheaper fuel.
Even sadder is that so many of those people care more about gas prices going up than the illegality of the war itself and its civilian casualties in Iran.
Republicans do not care about human lives. They barely care about American lives.
I don't think people realize the humanitarian crisis that's going to occur if the desalination plant attacks spiral any further. It'll consume not just Iran but the entire region.
Ah doi
Theres a name I havent heard in years
