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!

I wonder how many typical maga idiots, if they even are aware of what is happening, are wondering why donvict is not hurting the people he "needs to be hurting". The others are probably blaming Biden.
And then I have to wonder what the bothsiderists/centrists and so-called "leftists" that were claiming Harris/Biden were no different are going to say as they wake up to stuff like this? They were and are spending so much time on trying to gaslight everyone and telling people that an economy that had so many positive indicators and was trending in the right direction was just terrible, etc., ignoring the fact that a dummy like donnie could easily destroy what others have built...
If i have to hear one more of them try to not explain what Donald is doing with “Biden“
Just no. That doesn’t explain anything. Explain Donald. Make that make sense. Explaining Biden just to describe how much they like Donald is just them chanting their brainwashing tape at this point.
They’ve largely disappeared, as the foreign disinformation campaign has successfully concluded. Only the most pretentiously loud and gullible are left.
