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!

They're using the 1984 naming convention for government departments.
The point of the Ministry of Efficiency is not about saving any money.
The goal of Doge is just to create chaos so people can't follow the money going to trump and musk bank account
Yes, and egg prices.
Egg.
Egg.
Egg.
Taylor, is that you?
I think it worked. I completely forgot about the eggs.
It's been proven over and over that fully funding the IRS would be the most cost effective way for the government to raise money. Just the threat of the possibility of an audit will drive big earners to actually pay what they ow.
Well a non-functioning IRS can't collect taxes and thus saves tax money for the common worker (lmao) of course.
I actually paused before hitting submit on my taxes. Like....given the fuckery going on, what are the odds that my tax return would even be noticed?
But.........I'm a good citizen so I did it anyway since I was getting a return.
Yes, that is true. But if the IRS doesn't exist, how are they going to audit me?
I'm not telling anyone to commit tax fraud. But I'm also saying that enforcement might be lacking.
Because it was never about the deficit, you dummies. It's a convenient lie to settle personal grievances and dismantle the regulators that are going after Trump and his crime partners. https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/27/beltway-bandits/#henhouse-foxes
We know that. It’s about getting the rest of America to understand. We just enjoy seeing what we know written in articles.
These are also good to share on facbook.. if you still have one of those.
It's also a way to remove all the ethical civil servants that would not go along with martial law and all else that facilitates the coup.
They don't want whistleblowers or witnesses.
They don't want criminal lawyers. They want criminal lawyers.
That's the point!
Blyat!
