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!

The fuck is happening in the us? It is getting worse and worse.
We are just returning to normal. The last 40 or so odd years were an anomaly in our 250 year span.
Should we start sending food and medical aid to you across the ocean?
Can you send bombs instead to a specific location? The aid can go to other places
Go on, Ted.
Fair request, might be more cost effective as well. First ones towards a particular house of very light color perhaps?
There was a bridge that needed to be rebuilt and the locality actually lobbied I think Russia to pay for it since the federal government wouldn't. It was funded shortly after that.
Countries should absolute send aid if I only to embarrass us.
I'd say it's the consequence of a lack of consequences.
Frankly, it's getting better, by getting worse. They are losing in court on literally everything. He lost so much this week, that they literally gave him a consolation win: they codified the name change to "The Department of War." That was his big win this week.
There is strong feeling that the momentum is now with the Democrats, and they are slowly, but inexorably grinding way at MAGA. Approval rates are steadily declining, and are close to dropping below the 30 percent mark. MAGA politicians are starting to push back against Trump, some even losing their protected status. He will really bleed support after the bloodbath Midterms, as the survivors look forward to 2028. A LOT of them are not going to want to be remembered as MAGA traitors when the Dems fully take over in 2028, so they will be whistling a different tune after the Midterms.
There is a definite feeling of a political shift in the country, and it's not just on the left. MAGA is in deep trouble, and they know it. They are fighting for their literal lives now, and they're going to get rough. But the rest of us know it, and we're ready. We aren't afraid of them, and we're looking forward to punishing them for their CRIMES.
There will be a big change in America after the Midterms.
I'd like to suggest any punishment involves a cauldron of boiling oil.
