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!

Economic blackmail against the largest city in the country will certainly have the desired effect.
i don't even know what the desired effect is. you would think that they want the courts to be apolitical and not bow to outside pressure, and that's what sparked the protest, but now they are politicizing the court decision and trying to apply outside pressure.
there are lots of things this protest could effect, but the court's decision isn't one of them.
There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every other article is about that moron. Americans haven't learned one single thing about their own political system in the last 60 years.
People might claim that I'm wrong about that. But if I were wrong, there would be some sign of people starting to work together, no matter the party...
American proletariat doesn't have any direct control over their media. The rich fucks that do are, largely, sympathetic to Trump's message of a white nationalist state that pillages its neighbors for wealth and prestige.
This kind of media isn't due to Big Dumb Americans being too stupid to realize how it helps the Orange Man. It is entirely deliberate, both because it generates a based audience willing to throw money towards conservative causes and because it fuels the Trump campaign by making him look strong and liberals in big cities look weak.
How many hundred million people live over there? Once your country belonged to the British.
My nation never belonged to Britain colonizer.
No you have to Vbnmw
People need to agree to hold people accountable, and not "pick a side".
Careful, that is awful close to acknowledging that their sides guys aren’t perfect.
Why are we even reading about this? It's as reliable as your drunk uncle rambling at Thanksgiving. No, truck drivers aren't going to intentionally lose money. No, the Chicago Bears aren't going to make Uncle Ray the new Head Coach.
