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!

Joe, you're a barely sentient potato. Trump LITERALLY told people, fucking repeatedly, that they were going to do mass deportations before he took office. Joe, in between tripping on freebased cat litter or whatever the fuck you're into these days, did you ever wonder HOW these deportations would have been enforced?

Pity for the the people who made the clearly unforgivable mistake of not being born as Aryan poster child in this fine country. They are being forced from their homes and lives because you voted for a group of ethnostate terrorists. Nothing about this is gentle, humane, or voluntary. You don't get to suddenly question jack-fucking-shit about their tactics like it's a new development; they were teabagging the media with details repeatedly for months on end while you glazed over Daddy coming home.

I look forward to the day you grow up, sober up, and then shut the fuck up once you realize you carried water for a fascist takeover.

They don't deserve that disrespect. Potatoes have improved many our lives.

They saved that guy on Mars, too.

For sure, but when he says the right things to disillusion a fraction of the supporter base, let's recognize that even if he is a part of the problem.
