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!

Won't lie, some dark part of me wants to see this happen just to see what happens.
When Trump got elected in 2016 I thought, "Okay, now that we've done this everyone will see what a farce it is and never let it happen again."
But that didn't happen. It got worse. These kinds of people got their inch and now they're in it for the mile. This is a "keeps getting worse" scenario unless we kneecap it now.
Same. I remember waking into my local bodega in 2016 and seeing that buffoon's face next to giant type screaming "HE WON!! WOW!!"... First I was like, well he's also lived in NYC, I know he hired undocumented people for some projects. He can't get as crazy as his campaign.. Right?
Then NYC had to stop ICE from posting up near our courthouses and police stations, trying to prey on people actively working with the legal system for help or to voluntarily answer for crime or mistakes.
"These jurisdictions have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our Republic.” he said, and tried to withhold federal funds from our cities.
We all shrugged at his impotent executive order, both because of how much money and self sufficiency we all provide each other. But he was always banging on our door, to steal neighbors and friends out of our communities, whether they had federal permission to be here or not.
Are we lawless for disregarding the law a bit? Maybe. But are we human-centric for giving people the chance to do right, to live and contribute to the American dream?
You decide, both I and my old city already have.
I too love some good chaos but this shit isn’t that. This is more like pointing a loaded pistol at your face and wondering what will happen if you pull the trigger. This chucklefuck will destroy everything because he’s too stupid and narcissistic to know that he's likely destroying the very thing that provides him the thing he wants most, power, money, and respect.
So you're what, three years old now?
Stfu with that shit...
The I told ya so's would be epic though. 🤐
I would prefer to catch fictional movie adaptation thank you very much. I like boring. boring is good.
