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!

You know what's fucking infuriating? Nothing will happen to this fucker at all.
Nothing has happened to captain cheeto after he literally raped a child, so I can't say I'm surprised.
This shit shouldn't thought of as an "oh well". It's so fucked
Yeah no, I didn't mean it that way. Shit's completely fucked, I probably just have outrage fatigue.
Pretty sure outrage fatigue is how we lost this election unfortunately. The gish gallop from orange Satan NEVER ENDSSSSSS. Why is it such an effective strategy? I can't even listen to him talk without being repulsed
Not saying you meant it that way, I'm saying 71 million Americans did. The more I think about it the more fucked it looks. Ngl, I hate the Democrats as much as the next person, but fuck, man, never in a million year would I vote for a person like Trump. It's fucking insanity. How can anyone listen to this man talk and say "ah, this is going to be a good president"? Just how?
Or even just "this is going to be a not-horrific president? How?
Two types of people voted for this dude, evil, selfish assholes who know exactly what he is and want to line up their pockets. And misinformed poor folks who are fooled by some outlet like MSM or something similar.
Nor should it! It's a wonderful thing no one will be so outraged by the utter lack of even a semblance of justice that they take matters into their own well-armed hands.
My thoughts and prayers are that no one radicalises and takes direct action.
