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 Biden website was essentially just archived and the new administration is working on building up the site. This isn't something specific, almost all the old website links are broken.
Everything is archived here: https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/
That's the part where I'm divided. On the one hand, I understand that they basically have to strip the website down to the basic foundation then rebuild it. On the other hand... I'm not entirely sold that when it returns it will have all of the things it once had. Only time will tell I guess.
We know from Trump's first four years that taking stuff down he doesn't personally like is permanent. He ditched pages on climate change and LGBTQ+ rights and those pages for example.
Hence why I say that I'm not sold on the idea that they will be coming back... Cautious optimism maybe but I won't be holding my breathe.
There is zero reason to be optimistic about the decisions of fhe Trump administration.
My only optimism is about bureaucracy and legal challenges getting in the way of the administration'a attempts to break everything.
You're probably right. I'm just "huffing copium" as the kids say I guess. Already bad enough struggling with anxiety and depression this whole ordeal just exacerbates it so I'm doing what I can to not be completely defeatist/doomer about it. Keyword is trying. So far I'm not doing so hot.
