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!

If they put his head up there, I hope people vandalize the fuck out of it by painting it like a clown.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And announces it on Xitter.

Enjoy the portraits of Trump in every room Americans. Let us know how it goes, we’re too busy preparing for your malice and abandonment to watch.

Don't forget the pins with Trumps face you'll be required to wear to access utilities faster.

Totally valid viewpoint. I was just saying to a fellow American the other day that it doesn't matter now, nobody remembers almost anyone in Germany under Hitler as anything but a Nazi. The few who are remembered did stand out things to protect others.

You guys really will have your hands full with the US abandoning NATO, and the rest of the world genuinely isn't responsible for our problems. I'm so sorry that you guys will suffer from Trump's presidency as well.

I’m sorry too in advance that Canada will follow right along behind and be your BFF Austria style because we have the same ills festering and about to burst via our propensity for negative voting and love of fossil fuels.

Please do it. This would be hilarious

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow. They’re gonna do it. They have the numbers, right? I’ve been avoiding too much news since the election as a mental health precaution, but am I wrong in thinking they control both houses?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

They do, yes.

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

You know what would be funn... er, tragic? If, after they put his head up there, for a workplace accident to cause it to get catastrophically damaged. An accident made possible because OSHA wasn't allowed to do it's job, because the billionaires don't want to be held back.

Tragic.

I will go there and piss on it just on principle.

At the rate the Crazy Horse monument is moving, expect the first chizzle to occur in 2067.
