Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

Rep. Chuck Edwards faced a hostile crowd at a town hall in Asheville, North Carolina, as attendees bombarded him with jeers and tough questions about Trump administration policies.

The event, attended by 300 inside and over 1,000 protesters outside, grew heated over Trump’s trade policies, government cuts, and Ukraine aid.

Edwards defended Trump but acknowledged voter frustrations. He insisted the administration was on track, despite disruptions.

The town hall highlighted the political divide in western North Carolina, with Asheville's liberal residents challenging Edwards on key issues.

:) I wonder if the fear is starting to creep into their heads a little more each day

Sadly I highly doubt it.

“I take away from what I heard today that we’re doing exactly what the American people sent us to Washington D.C. to do,” Edwards said, as several protesters pounded on the doors nearby.

Talk about not reading the room.

I mean he’s technically not wrong. This is what everybody wanted. Project 2025 was published for like almost a whole year before the election.

If Americans didn't want this they would have went to vote.

Yeah!! 10 years of bombardment, exhaustion after years of squeezing the middle class, bullshit algorithms, and a centrist media, is no excuse for confusion over what's real and what's urgent!!!
