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!

Protect the pedophiles. Protect the rapists. Protect the war criminals. Protect the traitors. This is the United States of America. Donald Trump's America.
As president, Jimmy Carter refused to recognize the legitimate government of Cambodia, instead recognizing the Khmer Rouge, who had been deposed by the (communist) Vietnamese military. We knew what bastards the Khmer Rouge were by then, but I guess it was better than recognizing the legitimacy of Vietnam. We've always been Trump's America. Trump just gave us permission to drop the pretense.
This is currently joe bidens america
OK
With a Republican Congress.
There are 45 Democrats in the Genocide Caucus.
Democrats would need a majority of at least 46 in order for "but Republicans!" to make any sense.
Wait, are you literally saying this is all on the democrats because the democrats don’t have a majority that prevented this bill from being passed?
Meaning you’re giving republicans a 100% pass, but these 45 democrats mean all democrats are pro genocide?
That's how it works. The standard for Republicans is that they can do whatever they want, but the standards for anyone else require absolute perfection in all things.
You may be happy that so many Democrats voted with your party on this.
I'm not.
I can only conclude you’re here in bad faith.
Good day.
Until Jan 20 this is genocide Joe Biden's America whether centrists want to admit it or not. The blood wont be washed away so easily.
I reviewed the votes. He didn't have a say. He's not in Congress. Will he sign this? I doubt it, because there is a good chance the Senate will shut it down before it gets to the president to sign. And by the time it would, the Senators who started on January 3rd, might hold it till after Jan 20th so Biden doesn't try to veto it.
Why on earth would you doubt it? Biden came out swinging at the ICC on this issue. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c704y7gwr95o
You honestly think Joe Biden is going to veto something the Israelis want?
Edited: Because it won't hit his desk as I said on the following lines.
And after Jan 20, it'll be far, far worse.
I'm no fan of trump, but if the ceasefire holds it wont be worse. The end of Biden will be the end of the Biden-encouraged slaughter, for now.
