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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

It is just funny to me, 1 man is 2 years younger than the other, they are both going senile and should have retired a long time ago. Soon as old man Biden stepped back the whole too old thing vanished. Either way, the voters made their choice at the ballot box or on their couches and now we will ALL have to pay that price, not just the US Americans.
1 side, tho flawed approach, would have left the order we have become accustomed to, the other side... well, actions have consequences and the incoming administration wants to, how did Elon put it?, give pain to the American people
People didn't want the order they are used to, aka the status quo...
People literally voted to wreck the "order they are used to"...
Well, I hope they enjoy it.
On the chopping block:
Trump promised to lower cost of living by checks notes imposing tariffs on their major trading partners, hint: tariffs are paid by the company importing and ultimately by the citizens. None of the trading partners will take it, they will impose their own.
Hopefully there will be a next election and hopefully relations can be repaired
All of those were on the chopping block. Remember we froze discretionary spending in year 2 of Biden. He called it a win for America.
Trump did tariffs in year 1, Biden left them, and added more.
So, yes, people voted to disrupt the status quo, in which they starve. Will they still starve? Probably, but the change was a chance for it to be different, rather than a 0 chance.
