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!

Not yet. Not for a little while. First, a few things have to happen:
After things are going really, really badly, and there are only Republicans in government to blame, a few will begin waking up and realizing they've been had.
And by then, it will be too late.
You didn't even mention that the FTC will greenlight any merger and stop anti trust enforcement. Lina Khan did an amazing job, and that's a long term, sustainable way to keep inflation at bay. After consolidation across industries combined with tariffs, inflation will go through the roof.
Wegmans, Kroger, Giant, Tops, Meijer, Whole Foods all part of the Amazon Family.
Saving this for future discussions because it's absolutely spot on.
Also, for any Republicans complaining about Obamacare, kindly remind them that it was started by Republican Mitt Romney.
At this point, Romney would have been expelled and disowned by the modern-GOP; that’s how far right the Overton window has shifted over the past decade.
Also:
Don't worry, Trump will be there to throw some paper towels into a crowd. Problem solved.
But even then, he will only help if they voted for him.
Maybe when Florida is completely uninhabitable for large chunks of the year, some Floridians will start to wonder if maybe there was something to what all those egghead scientists have been saying.
Nah. It'll still be the Democrats' fault. Somehow.
Under the sea!

Ha well at least there is one silver lining for me. National Flood insurance being abolished would be great for me personally. I live inland and have a stupid river from a 40 year old map that doesn't even exist now causing me to pay. The process to remove it is long and typically requires a surveyor that can cost thousands.
They're gonna blame democrats and republicans are gonna believe them, I guarantee it.
And the fruit and vegetable prices when they're forced to pay minimum wage to pick it - or worse - pay that is attractive enough to get people willing to pick it in the summer sun and heat. $30/hr? Welcome to a half pint of raspberries costing $25.
