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!

Purism has an $800 Linux phone. They have a made in the USA version that they sell for $2000.
Is this...in support or not of Libre 5? Like, I'm not about to drop $2000 on a USA made phone with the specs of a 2015 phone
Yeah exactly, librem 5. I was tempted when I first heard about it like 7 years ago, but they are still shipping the same specs and have a sketchy track record on actually shipping.
Add an extra zero.
Just one?
This man is a dipshit.
But he know the greatest words, like word, and the groceries, the biggest, and best words, yes he know them!
That’s why Putin bought him.
I don't understand why they don't just eat the tariffs. Let them eat the cake they bought.

Tim Apple is going to be very mad.
25% tariff is still cheaper than re-shoring. Well, Apple never made them here anyways, but you get the point. To make them here, they'd have to jack that price up by way, way more than 25%.
The Daily Show had a guy that wrote a book on how Apple has been one of the biggest reasons for China's economic growth in the past 15 or so years, with them investing like $50 billion a year and driving literally millions of jobs in just their supply chain. Trump isn't changing that. Apple would pull out of selling in the US before they'd reverse course at this point.
Look how quickly they were ready to make and ship devices from India, when the China tariffs firs hit. They are smarter than the Trump admin, and planned for this.
That's not how any of this works, Donald.
This is all about gaining loyalty. He thinks if he gets all the big corps bowing to him and the military and all the other schemes that ChatGPT can easily identify that come next election he will have the "muscle" to stay in office.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the stupidest man alive!
