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!

I totally believe there's something there. Too many red flags - like not bringing interpreters on talks w/ putin. and keeping nuclear secrets in the guest bathroom at mar a lago.
yeah, I mean... as much as we do today. like, you know this isn't the first time foreign collusion has delivered a republican to the white house? nixon did it. LBJ literally called it treason.
Then reagan did it 20 years later with iran. then sent them weapons for the f14s purchased by the Shah.
we know these things are true, but some people either don't care about history or care more about hurting brown people and taking women's rights.
Do you mean provably selling top secret documents to the Saudis who then shared the information with Russia?
Don’t forget Israel. Trumps BFF’s Jeffery and Gihiseline were mossad so his ties to Israel are most definitely deep. His plans to build Gaza Lago are pretty telling.
The timeline of his dealings with Russia on this Wikipedia page is revealing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_projects_of_Donald_Trump_in_Russia
would not be surprised one bit.

Now line this up with the week that trump was first accused of keeping TS material at maralago
When you're done with those, ask me why they're suddenly implementing global policy together.

I don't need to ask, I know the answer already: money.
about a decade ago the fossil fuel interests of this planet decided their profits were worth more than the rest of humanity surviving and they went all in. it dates back to 50 years ago when their own scientists warned them, and the world about the possibilities.
money is the driver.
Gimme a sec
no rush, I doubt there will be surprises
Lol you were right, only step left in their big plan is for us to either get violent or initiate the big sad :(
action works. but we don't talk about that on lemmy.
I'm honestly at a loss. Guy 100% raping children is running the show and everyone is just like "welp, there's a few thousand of them and nearly 400,000,000 of us, what can you do "
you can support the orgs and people directly impacted. in my neighborhood I'm supporting WAISN https://waisn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/KYR-Workplace-Flyer-2025-ENG.pdf

That is really constructive. Thank you.
How would you go about finding the same for my area?
