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!

The cynic in me says "Trump is fucking with my money with the tariffs."
Totally not disagreeing, but for some more context she married into the Walton family, inherited a 1.9% stake in the company when her husband died in 2005, and has never had a role in the organization.
That makes so much more sense.
The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy...?
Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.
That doesn't mean you can't work with them, or that their actions can't be useful, but be careful, and be aware they are not necessarily an ally.
Maxim 30 A little trust Goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.
The cynic in me says, who gives a fuck what a wealthy out of touch woman says in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad when anyone is on our side, it's always good to have powerful allies, and it is mildly interesting from an academic standpoint when wealthy people are anti-Trump. But her expression of support or dissent, even amplified in a newspaper ad, is no more impactful or valuable at the end of the day than yours or mine. Unless she is literally financing change (which doesnt include opinion piece ads) or has the ear of those in authority who can actually make change happen, her money, status and name mean nothing.
The headline may as well be your neighbor's cousin Darren yelled out of his window "go protest Trump". Like thanks for the moral support Darren, but why are we even talking about you?
According to the article she supported Harris and donated $700,000 to her campaign and other PACs trying to get her elected. She's doing more positive than most billionaires, that's for sure.
Well her voice probably matters to the workers knowing someone has their back at least a miniscule amount
Ding ding ding, winner!
