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!

Holy fuck. The President just condoned a terrorist attack on an entire city, one of the largest cities in America. Because he doesn't like their politics. Just when you thought he couldn't go any lower...
That's not really a thing for me
his new lows should never surprise anyone
This isn't just a Trump low, all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.
Every time Republicans refuse to do anything, they're endorsing his behavior.
Can you imagine the shock Trump would get if he suddenly woke up in a sane and rational world and the police immediately arrest him
They're okay with it. He's just saying what they've been afraid to say out loud.
They can prove otherwise, as you said. But they won't.
new lows of conservatives should never surprise anyone
Imagine being a republican trying to get elected in California after this ...
I'm fairly certain the "I could shoot someone on 5th Ave" comment was foreshadowing at this point.
And towards the end, I foresee a blatant and publicly announced wholesale of the US to the highest bidder.
Trump once starred in a special where he literally put a price on america
He raped children. It doesn’t get lower than this.
I mean condoning the bombing of a city with 13M Americans just because some of them don't like him seems much worse than that, but maybe that's just me.
I think LA alone has a higher gdp than a lot of nations
A lot of states actually, California is in the top ten.
I mean they have already said the left war trators. Everyone needs to stop thinking what they say isn't true.
I don't think "left war traitors" comes anywhere close to "I hope they bomb an entire fucking city full of millions of our own people because some of them don't like me"
