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!

"For now, the flag and Trump merchandise sales are on hold, as the duo plans to ask for donations to repair the vehicle.
“Just like that, we’re homeless,” sighed Grenata."
I'm sure the Donald will get right on that for them...
Also... you can buy a bus for $15,000?
That doesn't sound very bootstrappy. In fact, it sounds downright socialist.
When it's conservative white people asking for money, it's just a community pulling together. Totally different /s
MAGAs are fine with socialized expenses as long as it is the country subsidizing the wealthy or if they are personally allowed to determine who receives money (so they can exclude black people).
You can buy a shitty bus for $15,000
The brakes must cost extra.
Brakes?! Ahmahgud I thought you said "breaks." Breaks is included, yes. Breaks, no brakes. No brakes cause many breaks, will be for sure many breaks included because no brakes. For you, I throw in wipers free of charge. Wipe wipe, see good what you gonna hit.
Here's a school bus going up for auction. 117,000 miles. Sitting for 2 years. Current bid $643 with 3 days left.
A few years ago I was looking into buying a old bus and building a eurocruiser out of it. Had plans for putting a sauna in the back lol.. anyway, you could get a volvo or a scania bus from the 1980s or early 1990s for a few thousand euros. Those things will have a million billion kilometers on the dial but they will do another million quite easily if needed.
