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!

This fixation on China and how every single policy has be put into the context of how it will effect them is bizarre and unproductive. The leaders and media in this country seem so desperate to start up another Cold War.
It's relevant in the context that helping China is explicitly something Trump says he's against. So the fact that his policies would actually help them is yet another example of him being an idiot and a hypocrite.
When has pointing out republican hypocrisy accomplished anything? They wallow in it, it’s like pointing out to the pig that it’s covered in shit.
It helps us remember which articles to search for when ragging on them.
All you’re getting from this is the satisfaction of insulting their intelligence at the cost of them dismissing everything you say and sparking a pseudo debate where you have to defend against a litany of half remembered talking points that they’ll never accept are wrong even when you offer proof.
Better to just skip all the trouble and jump straight to calling them morons; you don’t need a database of articles for that.
Can we just make lives better for Americans and maybe some others by proxy? Please?
Depends. Are you white? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus as your One True Savior? Are you a man? Are you rich? Do you eat a lot of meat? How big is your truck? Do you own flags? How many?
Satisfactory answers to these questions are required. Failure to do so will result in extrajudicial murder from a cop who needs a vacation.
Remember folks- this is the guy people here want you to not vote against- for…. reasons.
