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!

If folks seize Versailles, feel free to strip it bare of valuables. It belongs to citizens, not the wannabe king.
Let them eat tariff checks!
Somebody needs to chisel the fake gold off everything and force feed it to him. All of it.
That's probably his diet already. Not sure he could be more orange.
I hope they realize just exactly why in the 1900s-1930s the government allowed for busting monopolies, strong unions, and workers' rights.
The reason is that from ~1880 to 1930 there were hundreds of violent riots and revolts, assassinations of CEOs, literal wars (Coal Wars, check out the movie Matewan) fought between workers and capital owners, etc. So to stop all the violence and assassinations of executives, they finally realized they should give at least something to the workers.
We're quickly approaching this dynamic again, and hey if they want to lean into it, just expect the same response from the people.
The number of "rednecks", "southerners", "hillbillies" etc that don't know about the Battle of Blair Mountain and what it was over..... just sad. For a culture that loves to talk about their "heritage" they sure seem to be oblivious to a lot of it.
Putting "thin blue line" stickers on their trucks and insulting unions and union workers....
They just love their "culture" of owning other humans. That's literally it.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug
The education in those places is a huge part of the problem. They have probably never heard the ideas of these uprisings and massacres, and they were never taught to be intellectually curious enough to look into it themselves. It might've had a paragraph in the textbook about "labor rights" movement.
Gotta remember that the textbooks for basically the entire US are determined by an extremely conservative group based in Texas.
Correct, I’m from the south, my school was actually well funded especially in comparison to most, and if I weren’t naturally curious with an eye for the spurious I wouldn’t know about any of the riots all across the south, not about race but about wages and taking down bosses. Shit I just recently found out i had kin take part in the textile strikes and riots during that time that was just never discussed
Part and parcel of the intended dynamic I would say. It's all a soup of disastrous bits and pieces
Hence why I loathe my kinfolk so much. Bunch of fucken disgraces to our forefathers.
They are expecting it that's why they're investing so much in surveillance and snitch-tech(LLMs). They think they'll get away with it this time. And they might. We won't know until the bodies hit the floor.
lol of course they won't
It'll end how it always ends. Gadhafi.
Let’s just finish the job this time no matter what they give to make it stop
Yes. When they concede, they show we are close to victory. No half measures. Drive them into the sea.
Strong French Revolution vibes here
Leon Czolgosz 🤘
And ask former Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg what happens when you ride union support to power but then go corporate.
France 1793 anyone???? WTF. I thought wankees said they would have no kings. Guess that’s true except for their failed reality TV star pedo criminal king.
I wish.
Where is this bullshit from? This is absolutely not true.
Looks like the source is MS Paint and trust me bro.
You know what, fair.
Why is he still alive?
He's getting fresh blood from Thiel's blood boys.
Liberace is the only person I can think of with similar taste. You would think someone would point that out
Colbert did a couple nights ago.
He has no imagination or taste. He is a dumb, petty, piece of garbage in a human suit. He believes that gaudy trash is what everyone else thinks look rich so he does it.
Well this is kind of scary, hitler had better taste:
Trump has dictator from developing country taste
Nazi architecture was great. It just sucks that they saw the volk as a subset of the actual volk, and murdered the rest...
