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!

Nothing more patriotic than a fat orange Russian muppet playing golf at a resort that tax payers now pay for to protect him while he gives the middle finger to the U.S. military. Truly a gift to humanity is what this dumb fucking clown is.
Nothing more American than LARPing as a patriot while selfishly screwing your fellow countrymen.
He needs to be put in the ground.
Not all of him. I would personally like to see his head sealed in lucite and mounted on a pike on the west lawn.
I like it.
And his toupee thrown into a volcano in new zealand.
I know a peat bog he could take a ride at.
.... and in this day in age ... nothing more American than in having Americans put up with it all
If any previous American president had done this, it would have been headline news for months .... for this administration it's completely normalized ... it doesn't show bad the government is ... it shows how dumbed down the country has become.
American citizens are not putting up with it all. There are massive protests in every city in America every weekend.
The problem is the the media is barely covering it at all, so people keep saying that Americans arent doing anything about it.
By next summer, every weekend will see MULTIPLE simultaneous major demonstrations in every major city across America, protesting multiple issues. That's when HitlerPig will turn the military and law enforcemnt against the protesters in a Tiananmen-style response that will allow him to impose Martial Law and cancel the mid-term elections, and preserve his Congressional majorities.
Unfortunately that's exactly how I see it too. I'm lucky I'm getting old, I fear massively for the next generation.
Actually, I think it shows how susceptible people are to what media tells them. The word is getting out to resist and organize. Traditional media doesn't have full control, but it is working to slow the reaction down.
Furthermore, people have a much tighter leash to their corporate overlords/sponsors, they have to be strategic about which protest (if they even have the energy).
So yeah, it's dumb and circumstances. But we've been been engineered down this path for the past few decades, it's coming for you too.
Fuck capitalism.
Those dead imperialists can rot in hell
"the most exploited classes can rot in hell for taking an act of desperation in the hopes of surviving their contract period and getting any chance at a living wage and an education"
fuck off with your bullshit. this mentality doesn't help anyone and isn't any different from right wing virtue signaling
I have no money so I just have no other option than to join this huge terrorist organisation and go kill or bomb whoever they tell me to.
Maybe there's some scumbags in Yemen who support Palestine, I'll just press this button and kill a few dozen and their entire families.
I'm a hero now! So much better than lowering myself and working at Mc Donalds.
Fuck off with your bullshit whitewashing.
If i kill my elderly neighbor so i can steal and pawn everything they own my poverty is an explanation not an excuse for my actions. My actions don't suddenly become acceptable because I benefited from them.
By dead imperialists, are you referring to the soldiers?
