Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Silencing opposition. History may not be repeating but it sure is rhyming.

doesn't matter if it was unanimous or not, the board does not have the legal authority to change the name. my d&d group can vote unanimously that we should have free snacks, that doesn't mean there's no consequences if we go rob the convenience store

It doesn’t matter. They changed the name on the website and they will change the name on the building. Just like they renamed the Gulf of Mexico and everybody followed suit. Congress is feckless and nothing will happen. This is already done. It was an easy way to own the libs.

I 100% believe this will happen. Except it will look even more ass.

He's said multiple times he wants an arch like in France...

He also wants a ballroom, but refuses to actually plan it out, and has driven away the architect. So yeah, the chances of anything actually being built are basically zero.

The chances of more shit being torn down to fuel Trump's ego are worryingly high.

The lack of progress on the Epstein Ballroom makes it a shining example of how Republicans, especially the MAGA ones, only know how to treat things down.

Trumpians cheated and lied‽

GASP!

Silver lining is that they aren't that popular and have to lie that they are.
