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!

350,831 Americans died from Covid in 2020 because of your neglect, you murderous fuck. And additionally, from the times you've told them to drink bleach. And from the times they believed from your psychotic influence, to take things that treats worms in horses.
You make it sound like 2020 was the 9/11 after 2019. The only problem with that, is that we didn't have a terrorist event, we had a pandemic. A pandemic you horribly mishandled even when given the instructions from Obama (which in no doubt you discarded because it was from someone better than you). And all you cared about the most, was for everyone to see your signature on all of those letters from all of those stimulus checks that took months of debates while thousands still died under your watch as you did so.
You're not a savior, asshole.
And remember Trump's "solution" to COVID (beyond "don't mask," "inject bleach," and "take horse dewormer") was "just don't test for it." He was adamant that the only reason COVID rates were high was because we were testing for it - completely ignoring that we could have theoretically tested everyone in America in 2018 and came up negative. It wasn't the fact that we were testing more, it was the fact that more people were infected.
Trump's advice was essentially "let's stick our heads in the ground, ignore COVID, and it'll all go away."
He has blood on his hands from anyone that listened to his advice, ignored COVID, got infected, and died as a result.
