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 can't stop thinking everything going on now is america... The CIA and FBI etc. breaking things down to rebuild them in a way they can create more control but blame it on somebody (trump/maga/etc). because it all feels like the way they throw coups in foreign countries.
Or at least very deeply intertwined in the FBI and CIA.
Like they are dismantling things to pave the way for a more "modern" society... Ai... Digital currency... Drone usage and surveillance... But they blame it on all the manufactured political bullshit going on because they know the citizens wouldn't be down for it without getting psychologically manipulated.
Trump isn't meant to make these things happen... He's psychology getting people used to the idea (as a puppet, not by his own understanding of the plan he's being used for). So when trump is out, the next guy will look like the "good cop" fixing things, but in reality putting the same bullshit ideas in place under a branding that Americans are currently getting psychologically prepared to accept.
Power, control, and business come before honest humanity. Always. As time goes on its as if average regular americans become more of a product than a human people. We can be written off for the benefit of the company/business. It does happen, it is happening.
