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 grift that keeps on grifting
Idiocracy, we got there early
Welcome to the Onionverse.
The signs of quality and attention to detail are already there for all to see!
Of course it's golden.
Show me a camera with a longer life.
I'd rather have a long life camera than AI face unlock.
im surprised it cant even download more ram
Wut? Specification Processor & RAM Storage 12GB RAM
I'm kinda looking forward to finding out which Chinese OEM is building this thing and how they will be contorting the definition of Made in USA to apply it here.
They'll declare the Chinese factory part of the US Embassy.
While controlling the FCC this would be yet another conflict of interest.
Those are the only interests he has.
and yet never seems conflicted about it
Add it to the stack.
MADE IN THE USA
My goodness, they’ve found a way to open chip foundries, screen factories, and mass machining factories all within 150 days! Who needs democracy or due process or science policy when you have results like that?!
Press X to doubt.
"Made in the USA" only applies to the sticker that says "Made in the USA".
Knowing Trump thats prolly not even true…
"Good Intentions to Make this in the USA. (Sticker made in China)"
You know what's fucked? How much we really do need a public utility option for cell phones (and Internet). But this ain't it, fam. Oof
Freedumb Fone II
Wait, this actually runs Linux? This isn't how I imagined mass adoption to go lmfao
The monkey paw curls
Switching to Linux to own the libs.
Had to take a look at it and... nope. It seems clearOS is a linux (or you know gnu plus linux) distro, but clearOS mobile is android.
Android runs the Linux kernel… technically
What even is this. It's like a Foss OS & Store but all proprietary? More like unfreephone
Hahahaha, he must be pissed off at the "Obama Phone" meme
And I’m betting they’ll be exempt to the Apple and Samsung tariffs
Scam artist can't stop scamming.
With free Russian malware preinstalled
Correction: Chinese malware.
Russia does not need to gather such intelligence when they can simply phone Trump to get the news.
The AI face unlock can determine residency status and the GPS will ping your location every 5 seconds to DHS and ICE if you don't have legal residency or citizenship.
There's something ironic about the Trump Mobile site having a GDPR cookie notice.
Every dollar goes to curing his dementia.
Talk-O Mobile, perhaps?
Amazing! You have brought me all the internet joy this morning!
- Double-handed handshake and walks away mumbling -
^Simply amazing! That was such a great comment!^
Perfect surveillance device to keep track of all the proles and listen in everywhere.
What are the odds that this phone filters media for its end users?
Freedom Phone 2.0
Comes with FreedomOS, which tracks what you say and do
Would be nice if the law would be enforced on these fucks who continue committing crimes without consequence.
