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!

That's like pointing at the clear sky and telling everyone that it's the colour blue.

And MAGA people refuse to believe you because they're seeing their red hats

We're a thousand miles past the point he should have been removed from office as unfit

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

He was removed. And then put back.

"Just you wait and see, I'm going to be president of the United States after I reincarnate!"

In my mind canon, Trump is a failed Lich that fell into primordial pride-juice, and is now being manipulated by competing Necromancers for fun and profits. While he is an undesirable force in this world, I see the problem mostly with the necromancers, and I'd much rather see those get their comeuppance. And the loot drop must be exquisite.

I’d pay to see that movie.

Jake Tapper is eerily silent

[–] dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth 8 points 1 month ago

Maybe he's busy writing a new book about it? /s

Trump's been irrational since the 80's. Actually better know as evil.

Why can’t US media just say something is happening? It’s always an alarm being raised or a “first step towards” or whatever else and never “we are here and have been here for a while and here’s more about it.”

ICE could show up with actual Gestapo uniforms and they could hang swastikas from the White House and that fucking country would go “oh no, we’re really teetering at the top of a slippery slope!”

She told you so…
