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!

Bring in the army to shoot algae.
RFK will be swimming in it if it gets much worse.
Another 10 million down the literal drain.
So theyll drain, reseal, repaint, refill etc in what, a little over 2 weeks in time for july 7th? Thoughts and prayers
The entire pool need to be stripped and covered with membrane sheets. Months and tens of millions.
The only one that vandalized the Reflecting Pool is Trump
Yes, vandalised indeed. trump is the vandal. It vandalize everything It touches.
Who is it gonna get paid tens of millions to fix it this time? The errand boy from the mail room?
Maybe someone Donvict saw on the teevee.
Are the vandals in the room with us now?
They show up every time he looks in the mirror.
Ah; so THAT is what Trump meant by “draining the swamp….”
Maybe he can station onenof his ICE goons to stand watch over it.
The mirroring aquaduct was sabotaged by the sinister Visigoths. Verily, the solution must be drained and refilled at the cost of ten thousand libra denarii funded by the SPQR.
N0, its the little green men who are destroying trumps life
The algae is proof that even Mother Nature doesn’t like him.
If only there were some other natural causes afoot
Comically fucking stupid.
