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!

Everyone has a finite amount of fucks at any given moment.
The article is worth the 2 minute read because it accurately and concisely explains why the claim is bullshit.
And I had no idea the SC justices sat with Dems...
Like, all of them, even the ones appointed by trump. I had seen the clip Barret looking shitty at trump, but all of them sitting with Dems is something I'm choosing to be optimistic about.
Their seats are for life and Dems have proven they don't have the balls to kick them out. So now the threat to their power is trump, if he's kept in check they maintain status quo and their personal power for 30-40 years, probably longer.
If trump does a full takeover, they're essentially rendered powerless because they wouldn't be able to disagree with him, and their cooperation would be taken for granted because at that point trump would replace them.
So like I said, everyone has finite fucks.
Use them to find silver linings sometimes. Shits gonna get worse but we need hope if people are gonna fight. Dont do what James Carville says and stick your head in the sand. Do what Ken Martin is doing and look for the best places to fight
This. I had no idea SCOTUS was in the same seats as the Democrats until I read the article.
