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!

I saw the headline and wondered which onion flavored community it was posted in. Neither of them, yet.
The party — officially titled the Power 30 Awards — will be held at the Sax Restaurant and Lounge in downtown Washington, Pearson said. It will also feature Trump campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz, who’ll give a keynote; conservative influencers like Bryce Hall and Rogan O'Handley (“DC Draino”); and a performance by Waka Flocka Flame.
The only way this would be crazier is if they had gotten Baracka Flacka Flames...
I'm old enough to remember Abscam and the Keating Five. Apparently bribery is OK as long as it is done in public.
Yeah SCOTUS killed bribery as a charge.
would love it if that were enough to save the platform, but also enough for most everyone on it to realize they want nothing to do with it anymore after this gross display.
It's a party* for people who like and make money talking about trump
TikTok is spending $50,000 on an inauguration party honoring influencers who helped Donald Trump spread his campaign message
Gee, I wonder why.
