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!

The republicans finally got what they wanted. They’ve basically killed the government’s ability to regulate.
Get ready to be fucked by corporations and billionaires in lots of new ways.
Thinking through this: it will swamp Congress with every minor little detail, bringing progress to a standstill. There's just too much stuff, that's partly why agencies are set up.
AND Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything (any of these details). Dems have had that for only 4 of the last 24 years. The GOP gets to block any of this when they have a single one of those (20 of the last 24 years). If you thought there was a lack of progress before, it's going to be tenfold going forward. VOTE (for Dems, not 3rd party).
What will happen is that no regulations will get passed, or they’ll continue ask their special interest to write laws for themselves because Congress is too busy to do law making. Ugh.
What will happen is not enough people voting for a dem party that doesn’t magically grant wishes hence they get no votes…
All while Fox News tells you what reality is…
When it comes to keeping up with politics… Policy is one thing, motivation is another, and rat fucking is something altogether different.
