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!

My friend... The gop's stated goals are to "dismantle the administrative state." That agreement won't be worth shit if he wins
They want to fire all federal employees, and shut down our regulatory agencies (or at the very least, cause them to grind to a halt). And the ones they do hire back will be "their people." In other words, sycophants who also want to dismantle the administrative state, but from the inside.
I'm sure it will be a GREATLY reduced workforce just to drive home to people how "ineffective" those agencies and systems of government are.
This is not a conspiracy theory, these are their stated policy goals. Don't let this "unity" bullshit coming from Trump post assassination attempt fool you. His campaign is clearly trying to distance themselves from their own stated policy goals because they know how unpopular they are. Take a moment to let that sink in...
The Heritage Foundation made the mistake of saying it out loud. I guess they thought there were more Republican voters that are like them (that is to say, evil, rather than just a working class person that's been misled into voting against their interests)
That agreement likely won't be worth the paper it's printed on. At least, if I were a foreign power, that's how I would be proceeding. As if these things do not exist. Because they won't.
