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.

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.

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.

Guys, we're not getting him on the Epstein thing.
I mean, don't stop pushing it, it still is turning centrists and people on the right, but we have to understand that removing voting methods is one of the major steps in fascist takeover and there will be NO cases against Trump that will remove him from power or make his dedicated cultists stop worshiping him.
We beat this thing with grassroots restructuring of our states. Make some effort to get involved and get social with the people who are running your local elections. Hold some yard-sales and get to know your neighbors, do some volunteer work and inspire others to care about community. Most of all, STOP SPENDING MONEY. Stop feeding the corporate machine that is feeding the fascist dictatorship rising, stop paying for Doordash, data plans, new phones, new games and game systems, vape pens and everything else that you can live without. Shift priorities and change your habits. If someone wheels a guillotine down your main street I guess you can get involved in that too.
"Whaaaa life is miserable and my drugs and games are all I have."
Skill issue. We survived for millions of years in harder conditions without these things, and if you don't shift priorities you will lose ALL OF IT. Starve the monster and it will weaken and we will have our nation back.
I think you underestimate how much damage this regime is creating. All the programs gutted and shuttered (so far) might not even come back, it's not as simple as turning something off and on again. Some crucial programs we've got taken away are already lost. And the damage being done in just the first year is still only the start. Everything from Projeckt 2025 is still being actively done. Remember when P2025 was mentioned everywhere? Now it's crickets, because it's nearly game over for at least a generation. It's good to remain hopeful in difficult times, but be very wary that it's going to get a lot darker when this regime feels the walls closing in. There will be bloodshed and it will be an ugly mark on our history.
Where? How?
I'm blind. What does this say?
There is a picture of stars, overlaid with a purple tone and retro-futuristic geometries including some overlapping triangles in the upper middle of the image, with the bottom third composed of a wireframe ground as if to simulate an old vector videogame.
Over this image, in an aggressive sans serif font reads:
"DAMN, THAT'S CRAZY! WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?"
Apologies, I’m usually better at adding descriptions. I’ve edited it, and it says: Damn, that’s crazy. Where are the Epstein Files
Thanks. If you're wondering why your image posts get down voted, that's probably why
If Trump was the only one in them; we'd have them by now. I agree with the pressure on Trump because obviously he's the fucking president. But I really wish this pressure existed prior to this pedophile being president. I really think until the recent media coverage about Trump anyone on the left was treated as a Qanon nutjob if they said their was more to it. (At least treated that way by mainstream media). I'm glad we are here. But I'm also sad it took so long.
