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!

Good on two levels. Fuck Israel and fund Ukraine, you bootlicking GOP cowards.
I'll take funding Israel and Ukraine together if we have to, because one war we can make a difference in, and the other we can't, but the sin of backing Israel at this point, when it is blatantly obvious they are freely murdering Palestinians without cause, will be another stain on US history.
Huh? Are you suggesting that the US can't make a difference in Gaza? You do realize that Israel's military would essentially crumble without our support, right?
Edit: lol ok... IDF propaganda out in full force today. Without the US, they wouldn't have the Iron Dome that shoots down like 90% of rockets aimed at their land. For one. Obviously "essentially crumble" was hyperbole to make a point, but they sure as shit would be thinking twice about their actions.
The suggestion that the US can't do anything to stop Israel is fucking stupid. Like you people who are downvoting me realize that's what they said right?
Uhhhh no they wouldn't. The IDF is FULLY capable of killing every Gazan without a single additional US dime or bullet...
A single additional dime. The vast majority of their military is built on American dimes.
International law clearly states "No take backs".
Lol, you're extremely uninformed about the Israeli military
i'm sure it wouldn't collapse: they recruit child soldiers under threat of imprisonment.
Oh lord.
