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!

7? Only 7?

Let me tack on some of mine as to why he should not be president again. Actually, let's make this a game. I will continue off from the 7 listed and anyone that wishes to join, can add. Let's see how many reasons we can come up with.

  1. We have to hear about him every single minute of every single day.
  2. He helped stuff Congress and the Supreme Court with his own cronies.
  3. His administration was just unstable, it was like a rotating door of people that got fired from him or resigned from him for otherwise petty reasons.
  4. He spent more time out golfing than actually doing the work.
  5. He killed over 350,000+ Americans by neglect and mishandling of the COVID pandemic.
  6. He has triggered a systematic ripple throughout society where we are again dealing with Nazis, Confederate Apologists, Bigots, Misogynists, Racists .etc
  7. He has given the Medal of Freedom to mostly sports players.
  8. His worthless family having positions they don't care in upholding the responsibilities of.
  9. He helped demonize scientists and health experts and gave poor Anthony Fauci a nightmarish time.
  10. He appointed Ajit Pai to the FCC, whose sole purpose was to dismantle Net Neutrality among other destructive tasks in the department.
  11. He appointed DeJoy as Postmaster General for the USPS, for the sole purpose of sabotaging mail-in ballots and to slow the course of delivery during election time around 2020.
  12. He once made a travel ban...specifically for Muslims.
  13. He's tried taking credit for peace talks between South and North Korea...that he never initiated.
  14. He's suspiciously been involved with close ties to Putin and any other Russian affairs.
  15. He's a two-time impeached president.
  16. He's a 34-count convicted felon.
  17. He's a six-time filer of chapter 11 bankruptcy, signaling his failure as a businessman.
  18. He's rolled back safety regulations that protected kids from such toxic dangers like lead paint.
  19. He has attempted to dismantle the ACA with promises of making a "better" replacement...that never ever happened.
  20. He has sworn many times that the only way stimulus checks were going to pass, if he took all credit for it.

  1. He has given the Medal of Freedom to mostly sports players.

If he has stopped there it wouldn't be that bad. But he also gave it to Gym Jordan, Devin Nunez, and Rush Limbaugh.

And Ed Meese, one of Reagan's AGs who had to resign sue to scandal.
