Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I'm fucking sick of Trump's antics already and his term hasn't even started.

I'm gonna be optimistic and say that the hamberders or dementia is going to catch up with him before 4 years is up.

Or his health inusurance will get denied due to prexisting ear wounds.

If he does somehow get a 2nd term, I wouldn't expect it to be much more than a figurehead position, even more than this coming term will be. He never liked the job of President, only the trappings of power and the freedom from consequences the office granted him. Now that he's been reelected, and the GOP consolidated around himself and his family, there's really not a lot he has to personally worry about, besides playing king and enacting revenge.

AAAAMMMERRIIICCCCAAAA!

It's gonna be a massive shit show. Trump is only part of it, we also have to suffer the Americans. As bad as Trump is, they suck way more, way, way more.

Idiocracy was very overoptimistic.

What a weird thing to do. He's sitting there squinty-eyed, mouth open, lips out; while she's smiling like she's thinking, "what a fucking idiot!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Can we get like a laws broken per News story counter?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

She should come out with her own Erectile Disfuntion/Incontinence treatment and advertise it using the exact same image.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Millionaire problems! Oh no!

Anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Wow, donvict and his supporters that cheer on this kind of thing - what sad, broken people.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

People always want what they can't have.
