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!

I bet the fights, screaming matches, broken lamps, slammed doors and broken phones in the white house over the last week has been fucking glorious. I would pay thousands to be a fly on a wall there just to watch these unhinged freaks become unhinged freaks at each other when everything starts going off course.
They thought it would be different by now. They expected more legal victories (it's not covered but they've lost a LOT of ground in courts) and they thought they would have a stronger public mandate, they thought liberal, middle-class America would be looking at them like saviors and heroes by now, they thought their WWE fireworks and spectacle would win over more than the same, steady 28% - 30% of the country.
But here we are, Trump is becoming unmanageable and may literally just DIE at any moment, they've made reverse progress getting JD Vance ready to take the reigns, and everyone is just staring at Miller, this egg-headed wormtongue that keeps feeding Trump schizoid lines because he's basically just Elliot Rogers reincarnated. And now there are waves of rolling strikes going around, and the conservatives broadly are absolutely enraged about threats to their guns. Even the liberal nightly news is on network TV is outright saying Trump and his admin are making shit up. The tide is turning sharply.
There is some satisfaction in all this.
