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!

Everything Trump touches goes bankrupt
I'm shocked that the US made it out of his presidency intact.
You could argue pretty convincingly that it didn’t. We’re in a much worse place than we were, and the damage is far from over.
Yeah, this has some slight "whew, glad this Beer Hall Putsch is over" vibes to it.
Hitler spent 6 months or something in jail for his treason. Trump hasn't even been indicted for it yet.
He was handed the reigns of the pretty stable and steady Obama-era economy and by the time he left the US economy was in fair shambles.
Which was, of course, significantly caused by a certain global pandemic that he outrageously mismanaged.
Hard to say what would've happened absent COVID. There's plenty of precedent of the cycle of neoliberal Democrats getting the economy all roasty toasty then losing an election to a Republican who immediately puts out huge tax cuts for the extremely rich that is followed quickly by some kind of financial crash.
There is an argument that the Trump Administration was the cause of the global pandemic by recklessly dismantling healthcare watch teams in China and not acting to close U.S. borders when the outbreak occurred.
I don't agree that he caused it, but much like Russian election interference, his choices and actions were nearly indistinguishable from ones a pro-COVID death cult leader would have made.
Cause is a strong word. But certainly exacerbated.
