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!

Time to arrest his worthless racist ass and deport him back to South Africa.
Deport him to Mars.
Can we just lie about Mars? Instead deport Cringe Elon and all the other billionaries into the depths of space.
I think Mars would be fun, I would even set him up, obviously not alone that would be cruel, with Bezos, that English asshole with the space comany too at a minimum. But Thiel and Yarvin too for sure, all the silicon valley billionaire parasites. Send them out to Mars with a legitimate attempt at landing and eking a living on Mars.
Hook them up with livestreaming capabilities so they could share their insights on the way, then let them try (and fail because not a fucking chance,) all on television, pay per view even for the good parts.
It would make great television, talk about reality tv. In fact, every year, or whatever, we should lottery the super rich, grab some, and shoot them into space to explore or colonize some planet or moon. With their livestream, enough supplies, all of that. It would do wonders for tax compliance.
When you put that way, it would be funny to watch a bunch of billionaries fail horribly because of their delusions of being the only ones able to build civilization.
What did Mars do?
Mars knows what to do with him. -276 degree nights (as I recall, it's cold,) highs of 60 f in the summer on the real scorchers. Oh yeah, the atmosphere is like 1/100 of ours, and lacking in oxygen. No magnetic shield, it's a dead planet, scorched by solar radiation, no ozone layer either, the sun strips molecules of air into base elements without that magnetic shield caused by the molten core of a planet with a solid crust spinning around it, just as a glass of water turned in a circle will see the water stationary while the glass moves.
His bullshit on mars has always been a confidence game, playing on the aspirations and dreams of those that don't know he's full of shit, and those also playing those people going along with him.
I got a violation from reddit once, and abandoned that account because of that 3 day ban, for suggesting Musk should be aboard one of his launches, for advocating violence, I guess it is logical to presume anyone on one of his rockets will die given their track record to be fair.
Yeah, but like, what did Mars do to deserve having Musk touch it? What if humans do eventually want to colonize it, it will be contaminated and 100% scum and no one wants that.
It will be good fertilizer. Shit makes great fertilizer and they are full of that so it's a win win really. They wouldn't last a month even if they landed safely with all their supplies. I bet thiel and his compatriots would cannibalize Musk first, they might not even wait to land before eating musk. Like I said, great tv. And it would do wonders for preventing the vagairies of these billionaires lying and cheating to steal despite being richer (on paper, in theoretical money for the most part,) than anyone else.
