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!

Well, they don’t get seated for two more months, and he’s going to do as much damage as he can until he’s gone…
I'm actually less worried about Trump, he's managed to grift billions of dollars over the past two years and is mainly out for himself. His job is secure, as long as he doesn't piss off enough Republican Senators to get to a 2/3 majority on an impeachment resolution. He can retreat to his dacha in Palm Beach (or, if things get too bad, a different one in that other Saint Petersburg), and sit on his pile of money until he croaks.
I am more worried about what the rest of them will do. Hegseth and Blanche are probably in line for impeachment resolutions, too. Stephen Miller is about to get to the FO stage of FAFO. And Elon Musk went through all the trouble to move everything he owns to Texas, only to see it turn Blue. They are probably about to go apeshit, and Trump will let them, because what does he care anymore? He's got his.
Musk, in particular, is dangerous, because I believe that Trump is relying heavily on Grok now. I can't wait for that Congressional hearing where they subpoena SpaceX for all the President's chats with the bot....
Who? The lame cuck president?
