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!

That was the previous phase. Continuous government control means you don't have to worry about making the next person in office look bad with the mess you made. You know the CEOs they bring in to help deconstruct a dying company for its assets? Why would you need an EPA agency when you aren't protecting anything anymore?
We’re so fucked. It’s not even safe to be a rational, intelligent person in the USA anymore. This country is being taken over by imbeciles.
Idiocracy came a lot quicker than it did in the movies.
Of course it's going to be loyalty over any sort of actual competency. Donvict is so thin-skinned.
14% environmental score? Sick return. Stonks.
The only thing that matters is that he bends the knee.
He also voted no against pretty much every environmental bill to be called during his term.
TBH he can't be much worse than the last guy in charge of the EPA under Trump.
Challenge accepted.
I was scrolling and thought this said Led Zeppelin and I was like huh?

As someone who grew up on LI under him, I'm sorry everyone
