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!

But they have Treasury money. Why take foreign government money when you can just redirect the Treasury to your own account?
The banks would reverse the transactions.
If the foreign government pays you, you can take the money and move to that country
That way they can assassinate you and save the money they were going to give you. Perfect.
I mean sure, but 20-something’s are dumb, as a rule. I was, you were, everyone is. That’s why the lower threshold for president is 35. When you are old enough to hopefully know better.
We should really have had at least one other metric, but apparently we didn’t.
Or probably just open a safe haven account to drop it into.
No, I'm pretty sure I didn't vote for this. And also that this self-coup has got to be stopped.
What's going on now is that people are showing up at the offices of Senators asking that they stop it. A big crowd at Schumer's Peekskill office right now.
You can find other similar events being planned on mobilize.us if you search. Many have branding that looks like this:
And are using this common runbook
excellent. let's get busy.
Why the hell hasn't Musk had an accident? Where are all the alphabet agencies?
Also, when the fuck did my phone start autocorrecting musk to Musk?
Fuck musk
What's the line? Something about forces and crosses?
Everybody needs to watch this in order to understand what is going on. Please spread far and wide:
Yep. Still feel I need to put this here...
I more thought trump as the wrinkly emperor, and musk having a former boss/mentor chop off musk's limbs.
Any bets on which of these it'll be? Stop social security payments to:
Fauci.
Enemies of Trump.
Enemies of Musk.
Anyone with a Mexican, South American, or Muslim sounding name?
Anyone with a ~~Mexican, South American, or Muslim~~ non-white sounding name? FTFY
Going to have to use some AI to determine if slave names are white people or not...
