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!

The quality of research done by people who advocate for “do your own research” is only as good as their education.
I have a friend who is my age, graduated college with me and likes to do his own research. I love the guy, but his ability to parse complex information is simply bad. He thinks that his own research on medical issues is superior to that of all doctors simply because he interprets what he reads in whatever way he wants it to mean. He never even tries to debunk anything.
I love the guy, and I’ve known him more than half my life now, but I have to simply humor him on medical advice.
It will always be a monument to the monumental failure of the Trump Admin.
The Great Wall of Trump, just like him it cost too much, it's too short, and a failure.
Also Republicans as a whole since they were beating the drum for a border wall well before Trump ever joined their party.
Can't blame illegal aliens for everything if you actually keep them out.
The Tribune reported last year that the state’s wall program would take around 30 years and more than $20 billion to complete.
Typical Cheeto. Just claim something is super easy to do and won't cost a dime. When reality sinks in (usually years later after spending billions) that it's going to be over 100 times more expensive than he thought and will take decades longer than he thought, just quietly stop working on it...
Next up: the golden dome 🤮
The Golden (Teapot) Dome
Womp womp ....
LOL.
Didn't Mexico pay for it?
everything they talk about is bigger in texas.
It was always a boondoggle and another grift.
No self loving Mexican would ever cross that thing.... They would go around... Off in the distance, unseen.
Thats one way to get ices 3000/d arrest quota
