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!

Hearing the GOP fall silent on Post-Soviet Russian Aggression would have both Reagan and my grandfather rolling in their graves…
Wtf happened to the US man…
Conservatives didn't care about being conservative, they just cared about being rich.
Yeah and reagan started the fall with deficits. Before that controlling the debt was a conservative thing. They have abandoned everything except tax cuts and deregulation.
Which is the part that I really don’t get; How fucking dumb do you have to be to think you will still be rich and powerful after the Dollar is worth nothing? Not to mention what’s going to happen to Judges and Congresspersons when they become useless to the administration.
I think the teach tech bros think they have enough bitcoin that they'll come out ahead in the event of a dollar collapse.
I think they're wrong.
All things come to an end. Even the US
The crazy thing is the person who told me this as a child doesn't recognize that it's happening right now
Maybe it's the plastic in our brains? I swear humanity is getting noticeably stupider year over year
More likely lead in the gasoline
Social media that other people consume, not us, we're smart.
That too! But there have been a lot of studies done and there’s a very strong correlation between lead in gasoline and the loss in critical thinking and the increase in aggression of affected groups, especially as they age.
John Roberts betrayed his country. That’s why we’re here. Citizens United.
Yeah I honestly think we should pass a law that says any campaign donation needs to have a name on it. I don’t care if 2000 people donate to a super pac and a company sticks it’s name on it, or if all 2000 people are identified, but anonymously giving people money is a no go for private citizens EVEN IF IT”S NOT TAXABLE
Fox News.
Basically.
Reagan happened to the US.
