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!

Was Ronnie hiding a trove of sexual assault evidence because I feel that is going to make a huge difference.
He also wasn’t profiting off his office nor helping his donors stay above the law. And his violations of human rights were at least outside the country, instead of also against his own people
Reagan may have started this huge swing to the right, to authoritarianism, but I seriously doubt he’d recognize how far it’s gone. And he would seem entirely centrist , relative to the current travesty
Fair. Even some of the most low-info geniuses that bought tons of Taco merch might finally turn on him (or at least hide/burn all their Nazi regalia) if it finally sinks in that most people don't like pedos.
That's an if. Their crutch is fake news like Faux. If they can prop up the notion that Taco being a pedo is "fake news", they might cling to him like bitter old cons hung onto Nixon...
I see that working short term but once Trump is dead, there is less value in propping up a pedo. He actually becomes very convient scape goat
"He was maga, but he wasn't maga enough."
Just like conservatism and Republicanism can never really fail, it's just that people fail conservativism/Republicanism. According to conservatives/Republicans. Ironically enough, they parrot the attitudes of Communists, LOL.
It will be the same when it comes to "maga" (which is just more of the same conservative/Republican pile of shit with a dumb acronym attached and the racism more blatant.).
