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!

MAGA will say this was an example of government "waste and corruption".
"Thank Obama"
Fucking Obama, I wish he wasn't still our President. Gosh did you see what he and Biden just did to the stock market with their outrageous tariffs.
hey my guy...
you dropped this /s
I took a gamble omitting it but I think the sarcasm was pretty evident.
I've been using italics when I'm being a smart ass
Hey, better to be a smartass than a dumbass 🤷
Why, you couldn't figure out Obama isn't still the president?
Trans people exist.
GOP: We need to save the children from woke brainwashing!
Children go hungry during school.
GOP: Have you tried getting a job you little freeloaders?
Donald: some of you may die. But that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
How long will we let this factual supervillain trounce our lives and lives all over the world?
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
- Lincoln, 1838
He called it.
What did people do to get Frankenstein's monster out of that tower in the old movies? It's on it tip of my tongue...
Ironic considering how the book is about acceptance and how humanity can be found in unlikely places. The real question we should be asking is what happened to Dr Frankenstein? How was he prohibited from creating even more monsters to shun?
Can’t let the kids have nutritious meals! Next thing you know they’ll grow healthy brains and might end up thinking for themselves instead of being slaves to their masters! Nope, nope, can’t have that.
Those kids need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!
Also, anyone else remember when Michelle Obama was being accused of all kinds of things when she was suggesting kids eat healthy meals and exercise?
Oh good please give all the food to the starving billionaires.
I fucking wish he'd freeze it, probably going to rot away in some warehouse as well.
"Let them eat plastic straws!"
"Very tasty, very nutritious! High in fiber, especially the paper wrapper. It's the best food!"
These kids need to go into debt and buy their food from Cargill as God intended.
