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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Bae, wake up, new acronym just dropped:
TBT: TACO before Tuesday
Unconstitutional exercise of executive power. Violation of the Separation of Powers. Usurpation of Congress...all of whom are spineless and won't do SHIT about it.
"Russiagate" was not a hoax
Every source in the Steele Dossier was said to have died in Russia before anyone could confirm anything with them.
~~national interest~~ got reminded of a video of him and two underage girls in a hotel room in Moscow
I don't think it's that. His supporters know he's a pedophile and they like it. He likes Russia because he's invested in their markets, their oligarchs bribe him and his cadre, and because he and his ilk intend to make America into another Russia. It's little saint James all the way down.
There is literally no single humane thing Trump could have done that it would be too embarrassing to release.
And I'm using "literally" in a literal way.
I think a pedo tape of him would still cause problems, a lot of people know he's a pedo but actually seeing it would be hard for most to stomach. And if he cracks down on it, that would convince most people it's real
A video of him murdering and eating a baby would very probably lead to actual consequences, just for the sake of the argument. Which would be surprising, but not that surprising...I mean they say every accusation is an admission, and I'm sure you remember pizza gate
It could also be videos with congressmen... Trump himself might be nearly untouchable but who knows? If enough of Congress gets switched out (especially in an Epstein scandal) the new members are much more likely to remove him from office
I’m sure it’s worse than that. The country has shown it doesn’t give a damn about rape and pedophilia, I’m sure even if he broadcast that video as an official ad, MAGA would still vote for him.
USA….officially a country for rapists by rapists.
At least his supporters don't care.
Woman stands up at one of his hate rallies, and wearing a shirt saying release the Epstein files.
The monkeys at his stupid hate rally decide to respond by....punching her.
Donnie calls her fat and calls her a him.
I wonder where all those fucking idiotic qtards went, by the way? One of them was even a Propaganda Barbie for donnie for about 2 seconds this week. She was (is?) into Qanon horseshit; meanwhile, no Epstein files released.
Hmmmmmm....
He's been in bed with them for decades though, him and guliani and who knows what others. They were involved in pre ordering rooms from his buildings to get loans despite not pre ordering, in laundering money from his casinos, and all sorts of other stuff. Propublica did a piece of the president's part.
Guliani got inside information from the russians to take down their rival italian mobsters. The italian mobsters are best pals with the administration now though. Just ask steve bannon.
So Putin got more than just the diesel sales.
For which nation?
This fucking guy.
Until after midterms, no doubt.
I think permanent. He's a Russian puppet.
Wouldn't Dems need a strong majority to do it?
Flailing, disorganised, unpredictable. He's checked out and his administration is Oops! All Scheming Viziers
