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!

Don’t forget that Donny’s having a birthday military parade coming up. We need to show up and sound off. If he wants America to be great we need to show how great we are against him and this regime.
Tomatoes, lots of tomatoes...
I know tacos are more expensive than tomatoes, but it would be way funnier
Don’t waste tacos on Trump, throw a wrapped up dog turd in TP and call it a taco. We eat tacos after, wash your hands before please.
Those 77.3 million Trump voters must be loving all this.
It's a shame they aren't rounded up and shipping off somewhere.
Trump voters just want to see people they don’t like being hurt. That’s pretty much it. The boot on their opponent’s neck and inflict pain until they submit. They’re all about punishment.
Republican voters see the choice as:
- Wear the boot
- Be under the boot
Sane people ask, "do we really need to stomp necks?"
And Democratic leadership asks if the boots really need to be steel tip.
That last sentence is painful.
It really is, but my hope for positive change is in the goddamn toilet anymore.
Some are, the latinos...
The Taliban are jealous. Imagine, the Taliban never touched American soil. But the president is putin boots on the ground. Against Americans!
We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. Silence is acquiescence. We must be brave in resisting him. But we must not succumb to violence.
What is needed is peaceful civil disobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war.
Because peaceful civil disobedience definitely wont be met by force with 0 repercussions
I honestly do not believe anything short of violent revolt will achieve any results. I am happy to be proven wrong as someone who isn't really keen on that, but I just don't see it.
Well, you guys have guns. Time to use them what your founding fathers want you all to use them for, if it comes to it.
War on America? You guys realized that you have oil of your own and don't need to invade other countries anymore?
You're joking, but accurate with the recent push to start drilling in our national parks :(
The US produces the most oil of any country in the world, for several years now if I remember right
Its about having operating bases around the world, to make sure you can reach/strike/influence anywhere you need.
This could be the American Reichstag.
The Reichstag was the parliament of the Weimar Republic, the democratic precursor to Germany that was taken over by the Nazis in 1933. Today, the building where the Bundestag, Germany's current parliament, meets is still called the Reichstag.
However, the similarity lies in the fact that the current US administration is acting very much like the Nazis did in 1933 - in my opinion, they are in the process of overturning the democratic constitution in order to establish a fascist state.
That's probably what you mean, but it's a bit strangely worded.
He meant the Reichstag fire.
Ahh, that makes sense. Thx.
Russian scum
This ia what they have been waiting for.
The military should have refused the orders and arrested the Orange Jackass.
Meanwhile the US citizens are hell-bent on speedrunning Martin Niemöller's best hits.
Even martial law doesn't allow him to deploy the military on American soil.
Gotta pass that big beautiful bill somehow... Human hostages...
