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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

"Communities that don't take a data center, they're making a mistake" because data centers create "tremendous amounts of jobs and money," Trump added.
- Not for the community the data center is in. 35 data center jobs at most.
- I detect hints of threats coming. Yes, see, this is mutually beneficial. But it would also be a shame if, say, your community was occupied by ICE until it was built.
Sounds like a call for a mar a lago data center
Well, Bernie had the right reaction. How about we put them right on his golf courses, too.
"That's a great community you have there... it would be a shame if something happened to it."
Let's build one next to his FL house for the next 10 years and see how he likes that. Power and internet cuts, muddy tapwater, noise, dust, muddy roads.
Of course Trump takes the position that is unpopular with over 2/3rds of americans.
At this point it’s sorta his brand.
It is only a mistake if they don't resist hard enough.
Only woke left trans libtards hate datacenters!!
Block their construction by any means necessary. Even aside from the environmental destruction, they will be used against us by the billionaires, that's what they're for.
