Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Please do.

That statue hasn't had any business being there for a long, long, time.

On a side note: if he does, I'm going to be laughing.

In Albania, the Trump's do a single shit thing and people immediately are in the streets and it seems they won't stop

In the USA, this clown fest has been tearing dient he country, made the entire world it's enemy, cozied up with fucked up dictators, he's utterly destroyed the US economy, ravaged the armed forces, he's ordered the murder of hundreds of innocent sailors, he's disappeared citizens from the streets in the US, he's setup concentration camps, oh, and he's a pedophile who raped little girls and possibly, likely murdered little girls with his own hands. I could go on for a while with this but the point is that he did all that for years now and what did the US population do?

They had a few cute no kings protests that were slightly bigger than what the population from Albania has thrown in the streets.

US citizens are sheep, or just no longer care? I'm just amazed to see the difference in reactions there

The orange Cheeto will get rid of the statue of liberty, and nobody will do a thing. Nobody will stop him, nobody will protest, this is now just another day in America and all citizens are fine with it apparently because we still haven't seen any massive uprising which you would have expected if you watch the average American movie.

Yeah, all those American hero movies? All bullshit, that American hero they always show, doesn't exist in the real world.

Fuck the USA is such a disappointment, but then again, you have been since WWII. So much potential, all squandered so you could have a rich class and program the poor to just believe that one day you too can be a rich asshole!

Well said. Americans are a sad broken weak people who would rather make excuses for why they can't do anything than get off the couch and save their democracy.
