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!

The US never fails to disappoint.
massive racism, war crimes, pedophilia, government by bribery, weekly stock and crypto pump and dumps. We need AI to design new ways to be corrupt, we are running out of ideas.
Actually I am going the extra mile on this comment and asked chatgpt. It did ok but I expected more. Not sure how much water I just vaporized. But most of these have already been done by trump so I wonder if he already asked chatgpt for these:
Some avenues in the U.S. include: Cryptocurrency-related fraud — Pump-and-dump schemes, fake token launches, fraudulent investment platforms, and misuse of crypto's complexity to deceive investors. AI-enabled scams — Using AI-generated voices, images, or messages to impersonate executives, relatives, or public figures in fraud schemes. Pandemic and disaster-relief fraud — Misrepresenting eligibility for government aid programs or exploiting emergency spending programs. Procurement and contracting abuse — Steering government contracts to favored companies, sometimes through undisclosed relationships or conflicts of interest. Insider trading using alternative data — Obtaining nonpublic information through increasingly complex networks rather than traditional corporate leaks. Influence peddling and opaque consulting arrangements — Receiving payments for access, introductions, or influence while avoiding direct lobbying disclosures. Healthcare billing fraud — Exploiting complex insurance and reimbursement systems through unnecessary services, phantom billing, or fraudulent claims. Online marketplace fraud — Fake reviews, counterfeit goods, manipulated rankings, and deceptive e-commerce practices. Cyber-enabled financial crime — Business email compromise, ransomware-related extortion, and other technology-driven frauds. Nonprofit or charity misuse — Creating organizations that appear charitable while diverting funds for private benefit.
