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!

JFC...

"It's ok if it were liberals losing their jobs, but these people voted for you! You're supposed to only give a shit about the people that voted for you! You're the president of Red states and everyone else can fuck off and die!"

Nothing new here for Trump supporters.

"I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

(Came here to drop that quote, you beat me to it. :) ) I still just cannot get my head around the idea of voting in order to actively hurt others, vs. voting for what you think will do the most good for the nation.

These people are just wired wrong.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

And yet they keep believing...

[–] TokenBoomer 2 points 2 days ago

Pulling the classics, nice. 👍

[–] CharlesDarwin 6 points 1 day ago

That's the fucking point. They have the votes of the dumbasses, and now they'll be doing whatever the fuck they want, democracy, freedom, the Constitution and YOUR JOB be damned...

Anyone else smell leopard shit?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

I've seen quite a few leopards looking for a place to let their meal digest...

TIL: Zachary Levi is a fucking idiot. Honestly never thought about the guy, and couldn't even tell you his name, but now I'm getting why he's not asked around much in his social circles...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

What a fuck head. Go choke on raw milk.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago

"Yeah? That was the plan the entire time you dumb fuck." ~Trump

[–] cabron_offsets 24 points 2 days ago

“people that voted for Donald Trump who are losing their job.”

fucking lol

[–] TokenBoomer 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There’s a reason Casey never liked Chuck, now you know.

[–] BackgrndNoize 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man what did Casey do now?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Looking at Wikipedia, he endorsed Ted Cruz for president in 2016 and apparently being one of the originators of the term #GanerGate, and just generally being a right-winger.

Damn shame

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

The DEI&A, wokeness, Biden's green new deal, Obamacare, CRT, socialism and communism and every vilified "liberal" word was for your benefit all along, Republicans. In fact you are the diversity, you are what big government was made to help, and now your life is being torn down by Trump, exactly as your MAGA-supporting ass asked for. Soon I'll be waiting for people to admit it, otherwise they can go cry me a river.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Aw damn. Levi's a piece of shit too? Somehow missed that.

[–] ObsidianZed 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah, that came out shortly before the election. He apparently felt it necessary to declare that he voted for Trump. It especially sucks because he actually seemed to be, you know, not stupid.

[–] Omegamanthethird 5 points 2 days ago

Which election? It's been known since Covid that he's an anti-vaxer. So, I pretty much assumed he voted Trump.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No no I liked him in Chuck.

[–] ObsidianZed 4 points 2 days ago

Same. When I first saw it there were a few comments about how much Chuck himself would dislike today's Zachary Levi.

[–] Zoomboingding 1 points 1 day ago

FYI he changed his name to Levi because he thought it'd help him get work in Hollywood

[–] BackgrndNoize 1 points 2 days ago

Yup, he found religion as well

[–] Late2TheParty 14 points 2 days ago

Hahahaha This guy is such a fucking twat. GFY, Levi.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

No idea who this shit stain is, but good, let him suffer.

You voted trump, you got trump. Now shut upmand suffer in silence

[–] JeeBaiChow 5 points 2 days ago

But at least the people of Gaza are getting their land back!

Wait...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Git 'em, eat 'em, om nom nom.

[–] Treczoks 5 points 2 days ago

I have never heard of that guy, but could it be that he is just a tad stupid?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

So does this mean they are getting tired of all the winning?
