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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I've speculated (without direct evidence) that the Putin regime is giving trump and his team guidance on what to do.
Trump wants to be like putin in terms of power and wealth. They like the authoritarian oligarchical structure, again for power and wealth. Hegseth, musk and the rest will be part of it all. More power, wealth and unrestricted freedom to do anything they want without regulation.
Freeing Andrew tate, the nazi salutes, freeing the Jan 6ers... Tactics to give bullies power to feel free to bully. The worst of the worst. Other bullies see this and feel encouraged to do the same, and then they're protected and pardoned. Anyone against the trump cult see this, and righteously have more fear of fighting back. They want to make us like Russia.
I still hold hope in our country, but its faint. Very pessimistic and cynical. It will have to get way worse before even the maga cultists start to question what's happening.
Trump, Vance, Musk, Hegseth and the rest should be executed for treason. I want them fucking executed.
I'm against execution as a category because we keep fucking it up at every level. Can we settle for stripped of all assets and exiled to a developing country?
Wouldn't that be unfair to the developing country?
I think the northern most point of Greenland would be a good place for him.
I think they can handle a couple old men with no money.
But why should they have to? They had nothing to do with it.
Disagree
Oh that's not an exception. Rebellions regularly fuck up and execute people who weren't collaborators or perpetrators. Like I said, at every level.
Uh huh. Have fun with your pacifist rebellion were mass murders don't get punished in a way they'd care about I guess.
You think they don't care about being locked up in a cell for 23 hours a day the rest of their life? (The actual alternative)
