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!

Some days you see this shit and wonder why you participate in a meaningless system that lets convicts be President.
Like as naked apes on a floating rock in eternal space I gotta wake up every morning to go to work and "be a good worker" while this motherfucker breaks laws and wants to make up shit as he goes.
Cool. No wonder I have no more motivation to be a good worker anymore.
I wouldn't mind a system that allowed ex felons to be elected. I very much mind one that allows a current felon to be elected. I don't know what amount of time we should let pass but a felony shouldn't be the end of your civil rights.
Sometimes I hope the asteroid wipes us out in 2032
Bad news, it's not nearly big enough to end life on Earth, and wouldn't even hit in North America.
God damn it I'm done with you, internet. Nothing but bad news.
I'm rooting for the AI ending. Maybe something superior can be born out of humanity so we served some kind of purpose.
Given who's funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely
Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose "to pass butter" to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them
Hah. That is a very depressing end indeed.
i'm rooting for the 'people finally stood up and did away with the sociopaths, ushering in a new utopia' ending.
stop being cowards making bad jokes.
I remember when I was young and optimistic and believed this was possible. The humanity at its best ending. I honestly don't have that kind of faith anymore and doubt I can get it back now.
i'm 51. you lack a spine. STFU if you're not here to win a fucking war.
What would it matter? Would just become corrupt again in a few decades. The species is trash. It deserves to die
God I hate people like you.
I’m sure I hate you at your rotten core too, terror ape, as I also hate myself. Hate is exactly what binds us all together. Aren't we lovely?
If it’s not clear yet, I’ll spell it out for you. I’d push the button to end all human life if given the opportunity without a second thought. Again, I’m rooting for the AI.
Start small friend.
Oh trust me, I would... but it would hurt my family, and I do care about avoiding any additional pain to them. I'll live out the prison sentence. Won't be much longer.
The button is probably pretty small.
Give the cephalopods the reigns
