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!

When the president calls a mega corporation's action "shamefull" is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?
It's just virtue signaling. What he actually meant to do is send weapons to Israel but he got confused.
Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you'll see a President say something that's not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!
Ahhhh. Nice, isn't it?
I'm with ya, but at this point it doesn't really matter, and he's still doing ICC shenanigans. Fuckem both i'm not american (and i vote in my elections).
Okay but are you asserting you wouldn't vote against Trump if you voted in 2024?
I would have voted against Trump
Then you're not one of the morons that person was targeting so there's no need to defend their reasoning.
Yours is perfectly solid reasoning outside of an American POTUS context.
Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world's biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.
If only Biden was president, and could order shooting neonazis about to take the reigns of power... via an official act that is legally protected?
The whole "enemies, foreign and domestic" thing....
Well it sure would be interesting, but I doubt that will happen. And frankly, that's ok by me if it doesn't. I prefer my justice to be ethical wherever possible.
Of course Biden will never do it, he will just allow a domestic enemy to seize power. Trump, however, certainly will. Remember the unmarked vans, with unmarked soldiers, scooping people up in Portland? That was a dry run. Our "Beer Hall Putsch" (Well, one of them, at least).
I think if they legitimately win the election then killing them isn't exactly appropriate.
They shouldn't have won the election. We'd be in much better shape.
Hitler legitimatley won his election too. And someone should have shot him in the head at the moment, too.
But then the neoliberals wouldn't be able to pretend to want to do something for the next 4 years, while selling us out down the river, so their portfolios can improve.
Hey if you're feelin' froggy, get to it. Godspeed.
That's absolutely insane. You're just way up your own butt with that take. GTFO. I can't even be arsed to argue with you it's so stupid. Christ.
Why doesn't Biden do it? He has legal authority to do so...
It's insane? Its the only logical conclusion one can draw from the Dem's actions over the past 22 years... Make loads of noise about issues, but do nothing of substance to solve those issues, in order to preserve talking points for next election cycle.
Uh, Biden’s being watched. Duh. And no he can’t just whack the president-elect and say “he was a traitor”. Yes, it is fun to think about. But c’mon. Ask what you can do for your country.
? Why 22 years? Are you 22? If so, that would explain a lot. I assume you don’t care about inflation, job creation, murder rates, and all the boring stuff they do better than republiQans, or any other national party, so lets jump to just one specific item from the the last four years.
Hundreds of billions in federal funds for renewable energy transitions. You’ll never see anything for it under republiQans who want to bring back coal for some reason, but sure 200 Billion is ‘nothing of substance’, logically.
If you are still just learning how everything works you might be unaware of the vast difference in legislation and governance between the two parties, but hang in there and you’ll figure it out someday. Probably just in time for some rando to accuse you of being a fascist because you have to drive to get somewhere.
Contact your elected officials and ask why they don't stop disinformation on social media.
Better yet, spread horrid disinformation about your elected officials on social media.
If they didn't try, I'd call them shameful and a coward.
