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!

"Look, this cliff we've intentionally drove off is nothing! The fact that we are plunging 300 feet straight down is an irrational fear you'll all have to get over. pulls out unwrapped, slightly used Worthers Candy, anyone?" - Howard Lutnick.
We have literally arrived at 1984 levels of lies and delusion, it's incredible. And all the MAGA's are willingly falling for it...
They spent the last ten years yelling 1984, I thought they were criticizing it, I didn't realize that they were actually chanting what they wanted.
Biden’s Cliff was there for four years, he should have done something about it!
Edit: damn, forgot the /s...
You are sarcastic, right? It's obvious the real culprit here is Obama
I was going to blame Clinton's emails.
Fuckin Carter
I'm beginning to think that Lincoln guy really fucked us badly. All he had to do was concede a little to the South, and all would be well. He didn't have the cards.
Scholars have said Lincoln wasn't nearly as good a president as Trump. The only other president that comes close was Washington.
(Literally a paraphrased Trump quote)
"Nobody's done as much for the blacks."
I know you're joking (and it's funny) but this is maybe true in a way (not exactly a "thanks Obama" way to me because i doubt he could have expected this insane timeline) if you're talking about how he made fun of 45 at the White House Correspondents Dinner which is speculated by some to have been a key moment in what happened to ultimately end up with 45's having become president and leading to all this. I don't really believe this is as important as some say, in my opinion it may have accelerated what was likely to happen already (end stage capitalism (🤞, sort of))
I just can't wait to see what we find... ON HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP!
