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!

And for next 4 years, responsibility for the resulting hardships will somehow be laid at the feet of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
You know it. The perverse thing - donvict gets elected, and all of a sudden, the qons think the economy is the bestest evar, even when he hasn't even taken office, and has no coherent economic plan other than all kinds of fuckery around the edges, and of course huge tax cuts planned, most likely.
I bet if it hits the shitter because of all the craziness and the complete unhinged people he has surrounded himself with, the new narrative will be - "this has always been this bad, ever since Biden took over".
And they'll still believe that as the Dow Jones skyrockets and median real incomes go even further down the shitter to the point that they're scrounging expired food from dumpsters behing fast-food outlets.
What's especially ridiculous is how so many of them pivoted. They pretended that no economic measurements mattered at all. Then the election happened, and wonder of wonders, now it's a Great Economy. Without donvict having even starting the job - it's just: he won, and everything is all sparkly now. The same people who a week before were pretending like buying a dozen eggs was putting them into the poor house.
I mean, what the actual fuck.
When his son was dying, Biden's son said "Don't let Hillary become the nominee. Run, dad, you can win!"
Then he bravely... stepped aside and let 2016 happen. So, yes, some of this is Biden's fault.
