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

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!

All these stupid bitches wearing white.
I’m calling for killing the king, should we ever get one in the United States. I’m not saying that the president is a king, I’m just saying that if someone were to become a king, instead of a president, they should be executed.
If your guillotine blade isn't sharp, at least make sure it's heavy.
I mean, I publicly say I wish Trumps shooter hadn't missed so badly, and that Trump had caught the bullet with his empty fucking skull. I just wish when his skull gets blown apart, it's on live TV, so I can enjoy having it as my screensaver in uncensored HD.
We were millimeters away from freedom.
As bad as I wanted to see that happen, this problem doesn't go away when one man dies. It's clear that we need to see where this path leads before we learn our lesson. I wish that weren't true, but it is.
What? And make him a martyr?
I want him to cark it at a campaign rally. Pop a blood vessel in his skull, while pushing a little too hard on a constipated shit, only to lose the last shred of a fragment of sanity. To see him collapse onto the ground growling and chewing on the podium.
To quote G’kar… it’s a dream I have.
ASAP. And ideally before they actually become king. Like, if there's gonna be a crowning or whatever ceremony, they shouldn't get to make it. They'll have a prior engagement with a hooded figure.
Trump and Musk should be handled before they reach king status.
They should have never made it this far. obviously a fully corrupt and for sale president is ideal for a lot of powerful people.
Donald Trump, speaking at the Justice Department, called for jailing officials behind the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and defended allies while attacking critics
I mean Trump was practically responsible for the US leaving Afghanistan.
I mean Trump was practically responsible for the US leaving Afghanistan.
*cough Night of the Long Knives cough
I mean we literally just had Musk pushing the narrative that Hitler wasn't at fault for killing so many because it was really the fault of the bureaucrats who followed his orders.
Leopard, meet faces.
Not practically actually, he set the timeline too soon and everyone said hey great idea stupid timeline. The time runs out and Biden keeps to Trump's set deadline and it's a shit show exactly like everyone expected. And yet somehow a large percentage of people blame it on Biden and almost certainly would have blamed him if they extended to pullout agreement.
Dare someone to do something about it.
The number of pages from Putins book are disturbing. What countries will take skilled American refugees?
Fuck that, be a patriot and get strapped.
You can pretty much go anywhere in Latin America and a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed, as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants, they will work with many people who wish to immigrate rather than combat them. Stay far far away from Australia, or NZ, they are generally hostile to immigrants, and if you're really unlucky they might strand you on an island and never let you back off. I've really not looked seriously at Africa, it's an interesting prospect, but anyway, it's hard to immigrate, but it's possible and a lot of people enjoy the changes.
This isn't an escalation, he said this and worse while running.
If I was that asshole, I would forgive all the student loans tomorrow to to see all those transexuals squeal. You know how gays, lesbians and transexuals GLT really hate final payments of loans. I just wish In could see their faces on their last payment.
Nah, but seeing Tesla tumble to Craigslist level makes me happy.
As an actual opponent, come and get me yourself you cowardly fat orange fuck.
well, i don't know about that
Grandfather that was just read this article.
These people don't care. It's infuriating.
Does Schumer know that Trump means him? He can't be that dence, can he? We know he's spineless, but does he grasp the situation in full.
He has a lot more on common with Trump than I ever will.
Nazis. Either you are Nancy, or you decree the Nazis. Anything less than denouncing Nazis means that you are a Nazi that was the standard in the 1940s, and it carries to today.
Unless you denounce Nazis, you’re automatically a Nazi.
Correct. Nazi apologists are Nazis.
If 10 people are at dinner when a Nazi joins them, and none leave or tries to kick them out, you have 11 Nazis.
Start with Schumer. We'll let that one go.
