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.

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!

MODERATORS
Still blows my mind. How do you fuck up a casino that badly - multiple times!
Oh, right. Fraud. That's how.
It's funny that Republicans were trying everything under the Sun...including fabricating evidence...to show how Biden was profiting off of his position. And they never actually found anything.
But, here we are now...and it's nothing but crickets.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
It's even worse than that, because Trump's grip on the Federal Reserve is growing, and in May of next year he gets to appoint a new Fed Chairman. You can absolutely bet that Trump's appointee will be chosen by how quickly he does what Trump demands, so there is a high probability that we will see imprudent rate cuts that will give us the greatest financial bubble of all time, followed by the biggest financial collapse. The dollar will be destroyed in the process.
It's already collapsing, I don't think we'll have to wait that long.
What we've seen is financial erosion - slow and steady over time. What is coming will be unlike anything in our lifetimes. We'll see markets plummeting, bank runs and failures, hyperinflation >50% per year, and lot and lots of panic.
If you take a close look at the trajectory from 2008 and the wage, asset, and income inequality trends from the stagflation days to today you'll find that imprudent rate cuts have been the name of the game for awhile now. Yeah Trump will overcharge it and cause the massive collapse and inflation faster but it's coming regardless. Powell ain't no Volker but even Volker couldn't fix the absolutely shit fundamentals the neolibs have fooled themselves into thinking a healthy economy is made of.
and in May of next year he gets to appoint a new Fed Chairman.
watch, he's going to appoint some chud like vince mcmahon as the fed chair.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
His voters clamored for "running the US like a business," and Trump is delivering. Somehow his voters missed the part where every business he's ever touched was embezzled to death.
God, I can't wait till someone "removed by moderator"s him.
You mean you want Trump *deleted by user* ?
No I want him redacted
Everyone keeps pointing fingers at this orange clown
Yet no one ever talks about the circus freaks that let him take control and call him their king.
this alone is reason enough to hope for a crypto crash.
Ironically he made homelessness illegal right before Great Depression 2 better start building those concentration camps
But it'd be a shame of some Chinese hacker stole all that crypto.
It's what he agreed to! Not your keys, not your coins.
Gyna, if you're listening...!
Tbh a financial disaster might be the only thing to get republicans in Congress to impeach this guy. Major job losses and equity losses would make it super easy to save face and blame the guy in charge.
Not that I want that to happen, but it could be a silver lining if it did
American standards sure are in the dirt. We made Carter sell his peanut farm, and now people defend this corrupt dotard.
Strump and Smelania.
