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!

"Harold Ham".. really?? why are we living in an actual story with vilians that have the most vilain names ever 😭
Only the best people is Republican code for only the richest people. 💲💲💲💲
They are starting to actually believe that people are rewarded in this life for piousness by being rich. So they have actually started to believe that narcissistic lack of empathy is god like because that makes you rich. They think they are the best people because they are rich.
"The love of money is the root of all evil"
So they threw that out the window, along with the ten commandments they love to emblazon on things, and the examples Jesus set for them. These are the foundations of being a good GOP Christian.
Pernicious prosperity gospel poppycock indeed.
Rod Blagoyovich went to jail for shit like this. But since it's a republican I guess that's okay.
He was pardoned. It never happened.
Why would a billionaire limit himself to only one vote if he gets elected instead of buying all the votes he needs and not even having to bother. Seems like a waste of time and money.
In a functioning system, only the former would be an option, but this is America. We already know that buying American politicians is pretty cheap.
Wouldn't you want to also be on your own jury?
Direct and financial influence trumps merely financial influence. It could save the billionaire class millions in donations and bribes.
Look what it's done for Trump.
Porque no los dos?
Seems like a waste of time and money.
mario move out of the way and call your brother
