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!

Next week??
Finish your weekend in the Hamptons why don't you, you fucking slackers.
How about an emergency session in the House? Like RIGHT NOW? Trump just attacked another country: do your fucking job!
Well Mikey Johnson didn’t get Trump’s permission for an emergency session, so no.
Some reporter is gonna ask Mike Johnson on Monday if he saw that the US attacked Venezuela and he's gonna say he doesn't know.
If only reporters had balls: "You haven't heard about X giant thing the president did? Doesn't that make you dogshit at your job?"
The only people with access are those that handle republicans with the softest tiny baby hands possible.
What's the rush? Strongly worded letters take time to write.
They need some more time for the glue to dry on the little protest paddles
Gotta soften the rethoric in case it turns around and bites them in the ass, because precedent!
Guys, somehow I don't think the US Congress is going to save us...
"Big sale, last week. Why advertise?" -Yaakov Smirnov
We now go live to the DNC headquarters:
By next election the dems will be pushing for "more humane" long-term governance of Venezuela, Colombia, etc... (aka same as republicans, different marketing)...
It's the United States of America. You've got to set appropriate expectations. The last time the USA launched a series of illegal wars they did it with broad bipartisan support.
There's broad bipartisan support for this invasion as well.
Biden spent his time attacking the same people.
Dems can't roll that back. It's like how obomber called for "crippling sanctions" during his whole term...
Just one example: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/10/white-house-venezuela-sanctions-maduro-00197540
I think the speaker of the house or majority leader can call an emergency session. I am really unsure about all of the rules.
