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 fucking week? This isn't warranting of an emergency session of congress?
The US is so fucking fucked. The Dems are gonna find a way to lose the primaries or surrender to Trump's attempts to steal them.
We've seen nothing from these assholes in the times of greatest crisis.
It's not an emergency, that's why.
It's business as usual in the USA. We've done this many times. It's like our thing.
For example, does anyone remember that time Citibank asked the US to launch an invasion of Haiti, and got it?
A powerhouse for 200 years! Citibank is one of the "controlling interests" that occupy the Fed and banking boards, along with Rothschild, Deutsch, BoA, and so on (I haven't kept up on the most recent list of FED participants and bank boards, corrections encouraged they do change names from time to time).
The Democrats and DOJ have been doing a Sudetenland with Trump for since halfway through his first fucking term, through the Biden admin, and now. Just let him and his movement do and take what they want in hopes that they’ll calm down if they get what they want so everything can get back to business as usual. Just because it’s an ideological Sudetenland doesn’t make any less stupid
It's the Republicans' job to do fascism. It's the Democrats' job to lose elections and offer minimal resistance against the Republicans' agenda. This is what they've been paid to do; the Republicans started with Reagan, the Democrats started with Clinton.
Since then, it's become not only legal, but incentivized, for them to represent corporate interests over voters' interests.
It's nice to see this, the D and R routine gets tiresome.
They don't even fucking hide it, and it still works on many, many people. Too many
They're not paid to represent voters.
Although ... if voters crowdfunded a few billion for a bribe, Trump would probably throw them a bone!
So you're saying they're literally the same. /s
No. I'm saying regulatory and legal capture have turned each into separate entities with separate agendas, working toward the same overall goal.
Whoah there buddy, your criticism is BASICALLY a vote for Trump. /s
Americans, please take this seriously. It's NOT FUCKING NORMAL for your representatives to take this so unseriously, and not doing the thing they've been literally elected to do. I mean being a politician, not against trump, this goes for both sides of the aisle. wtaf?
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is the establishment Dems are bring directed by Israel and billionaire ~~donors~~ bribers to not actually put up a fight
