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!

Seriously? Who knew Project 2025 was being implemented?

Well I certainly didn't. Trump clearly said Project 2025 would NOT be implemented. Does he think I'm some kind of fool?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

He also said he loved the plan and would implement it

Then said he might not implement all of it

Before saying he never heard of it

No idea why the media ran with the last one, it’s almost like they wanted him to win

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Yes. Yes he does.

[–] politicalincorruption 10 points 1 week ago

The answer to this question is always yes in every context.

This has to be a joke right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe they are being facetious, but there is a chance they are actually fascist. Maybe take a look at their other posts to try and figure it out?

Nah I'm good.

People still voted for it expecting magic to keep away the bad stuff.

No one could possibly have expected this.

I was recently invited to a face-eating party by a bunch of face-eating leopards that I know. Imagine my surprise as they ate my face!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I can't seem to imagine that or indeed anything not immediately happening to me this moment.

Can you get me an invite? It sounds like a great party apart from the face-eating, and it's not like that's gonna happen again lol!

"Dictator, but only on day 1"

{{SHOCK!!}}

Just goes to show that while Trump is the face of the problem, he's more of a symptom than the cause. The Republican party is rotten to the core and even if Trump chokes on a Big Mac tomorrow, the problem is not going away.

So he is letting others play president? Did they pay him for that service?
