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 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.
  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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Hm, I'm sure it has nothing to do with donnie being butthurt that Ped-o-lago had to be searched since he stole classified documents.

Also, I'm sure her being a woman, Muslim and a POC has nothing to do with anything...

You know who's home should be raided and the occupant dragged to gitmo?

Elon Musk.

well, he's donated $275Million to getting the GOP (Group of Pedos) reelected. Could have built some social housing with that!

Since he has stolen petabytes of American citizens data and is doing God knows what with it, he absolutely should be incarcerated and interrogated.

That's a top voting recommendation right there. Someone is afraid of her.

She's one of three democrats that aren't bought and paid for neo-liberal fascists.

Give 'em hell, Omar.

I can't help but be reminded of 2016 and Obama holding onto info that Russians were trying to manipulate the election for Trump and the FBI having to be 150% transparent about their investigation into Hillary's emails. Even though we all knew the emails were nothing.

All in the name of protecting our democracy. Republicans do not give a shit now as they didn't in 2016.

I can't help but think about 1968 and how LBJ got proof Nixon was colluding with Henry Kissinger to undermine Vietnam peace talks but decided not to go public with it because he didn't want to have to hang them both for treason

Everyday is the worse day in America until tomorrow…

I look forward to the inquiries into Musk's immigration and deportation when the Dems take back office...
