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!

Speaking for a lot of us, we don't want this, we didn't vote for it, we've been speaking out fiercely against ALL of it. I am not my nation. Don't make things worse.
A reality distortion field so warped that in your view a Canadian posting words will somehow make America's self-made mess worse, and that the person who is justifiably outraged and saying so, clearly and vociferously, is part of the problem.
I gotta say: this totally scans as far as my appraisal for how you folks accept accountability down there. This may be the best example of "Tell me you're an American without telling me you're an American" I've ever seen.
I'm talking about words and feelings between people, about human beings, about starting bandwagons of hate that begin ironically and turn into pointless contentions. Because we all have accountability with our words, down here and up there. I know you just want to have someone to be rightfully mad at, but don't do this obvious provoking, if anything you could learn from where the obnoxious minority is leading culture in America, it's to not fucking follow that example. You're gonna be next.
Or just continue to be obtuse but smug, until your own Trump rises on the back of everyone's festering hate. Tell me you think you're invulnerable without saying you think you're invulnerable.
