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!

Can I interest you in some silver? Act now, or something.
"Your money will be worthless! Buy gold now! And definitely don't think about why we'd want to take your money and give you our gold if we think money is going to be worthless!"
"Hello, kind sir. I am starving to death and I see you are cooking a rat on a spit. Would you accept this pretty yellow rock for a piece of rat?"
You know what I think would be good to trade after the collapse? Dental hygiene stuff. If you’ve been eating canned beans and dead rats for a few months I bet you’d love to properly brush your teeth.
Ha ha. Right, they wouldn't be letting go of their gold, would they?
Glenn Beck is that you? 2024 is your time to shine.
Preppers think that stocking up and hoarding supplies will somehow make them a one-man army capable of taking on the world if society were to collapse into some Mad-Max hellscape.
What they don't realize is that stockpiling those supplies is just going to make them a target. And I don't care who you are: If you make yourself that big of a target, people will come for your stuff. En masse. And I don't care if you're armed to the teeth Schwarzenegger style: You cannot survive a horde of people who have decided they want your stuff and are ready to kill you for it.
All preppers are doing is organizing a nice pile of supplies for the first group of people to come around and decide that his house would make a good place to camp.
You think they don't want the chance to use their gun stockpile in an Alamo last stand type of outcome?
They're not ready for shit
If an outlet asks a question like that, you can always answer it with No
