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!

I think so.
For all his showmanship, Trump intimidates. Plus, it’s hard to believe Musk didn’t rig/influence the election. That would be a hell of a power chip. Who, on the “winning” side, would risk that coming out? And on the left it’s highly taboo to even nudge the idea after the way Trump acted in 2020. Musk gets a complete pass from Congress and keys to the entire 6 trillion treasury of the country AND all SS# and other data of Americans. ALL 3 branches of government are rolling over and playing dead on it, for an immigrant (which the GOP dislikes), for a manufacturer of electric cars and solar (which the GOP dislikes), who is entirely unelected by anyone, and does not qualify to be President in name by virtue of our founding documents.
Why? What’s the Occam’s razor on this question?
Back to Trump being intimidated. There’s a vid clip of Trump I cannot seem to dig up again, that shows him exiting from something onto safe ground post N Korea visit. He looks like a man who is shitting himself and not in the standard 80yo loss of bowel control due to “metal fatigue” of the anal sphincter and such over time way, which he apparently does have, but out of fear. The man looks terrified. I’m surprised we got our President, such as he was and is, back that day. I think he was too, judging by his face.
My read of Trump is he only respects people who intimidate him. Putin. Jong Un. Musk.
If you do, please reply to this with it, I'd like to see it
