Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

At least one member of the Republican National Committee is working to slow Donald Trump’s attempted takeover of the organization by pushing to keep the committee neutral until Trump is officially the presidential nominee and avoid picking up his legal bills.

Two draft resolutions are being circulated by Henry Barbour, a national committeeman from Mississippi, for consideration at the RNC’s upcoming March meeting in Houston. Barbour said support for the resolutions among RNC members is growing but he does not yet have the needed cosponsors, and any resolutions would ultimately be nonbinding.

The effort comes after Trump last week publicly called to replace the RNC’s current leaders and install one of his senior campaign advisors and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump in top roles. Lara Trump suggested earlier in the week that GOP voters would support the committee paying her father-in-law’s legal bills as he faces a raft of criminal and civil indictments.

Trump senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, whom the former president wants to install as the party’s chief operating officer, told reporters Friday night that the RNC would not pay Trump’s legal bills.

Anyone with any experience running a business has known what a fraud he is for decades. Anyone who didn't know after watching the horror show that was the apprentice has no right to be running their own life.

He is a grifter and conman who isn't even good at that. He is a puppet and it's putin and or Xi pulling his strings and that of the entire party.

Everyone laughed at him during the apprentice too. It was fun stupid nonsense with a catchy phrase. It hurts my soul that this is our reality.

I tried watching it because I expected something educational (to a business geek) what I got was a reality show that focused on the drama instead of the actual nitty gritty of building a business. I knew he was a scam artist and a conman, grifter, etc but even without any legit input from him, I had hoped I could see businesses succeed or fail and how and why they did, I was wrong.

we should be solving the climate crisis, today.

instead we're arguing about basic human rights, 1860s-1920s shit.

the right will never stop dragging this country down. the business plot, US nazis trying to keep the US out of ww2, nixon intentionally dragging vietnam out, reagan negotiating with the Ayatolla and sending them f14 parts and missiles to help him beat Carter, bush & reagan's crimes swept under the rug by BILL FUCKING BARR, then, Bush 2 getting elected by Ginni Thomas / trust fund putsch, dragging us into war with iraq.... 10 years of that.... a ruined economy, and a dem comes in and fixes it - and they say he's not american.

fucking treasonous chode monkey cocksuckers, why does the right hate this country so much?

my opinion? they're still angry that they can't own slaves.
