Americans are such fucking babies. I hope they remember this when the rolling blackouts start, but, they won’t.

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!

Lol they did the EXACT SAME THING when I was young, during the Carter administration and the 70s energy crisis, calling Carter a "Communist" because he advised the same type of minimal thermostat management to conserve energy and asked people to wear sweaters to conserve heat. I remember people literally enraged about it, like how very dare he even suggest such a thing.
This is as old as time. They ignore it when the Republicans do it and scream holy hell when a Democrat does it, same as it ever was.
"One-child policy next" is crazy unless this is an at-least-one child policy.
It's the pedophile party, they mean one child to fuck policy
This is all a distraction.
- How is McConnell feeling? Anyone see him lately?
- How are the epstein files doing? Anyone see the ones with trump in them?
- How are our public lands doing? Are they being sold to the highest bidder?
- How is the White House grounds doing? Does it still look like a tweaker's house?
- How is trump's corruption being called out? Is he still making billions off of being prez?
- etc., etc., etc.
How is the White House grounds doing? Does it still look like a tweaker's house?
Apparently he's decided to build a heliport on the South Lawn.
We're going to need a new White House when this all over.
Our national trap house
Could always invite the Canadians over, I'd be happy to burn down the Whitehouse again
i can cater. y'all want sassages or ribs? y'know what let's do both
Should smell real with all the painted-over cum and blood on the walls.
Nah, torch the thing to the ground and build "The People's House" on its ashes.
How about just a park
I could have sworn it was technically already a park or something. needs some swings and a slide.
I don't know how they could've kept some of the recent rains out of the ruins of the East Wing, so, yeah :(
How are our public lands doing? Are they being sold to the highest bidder?
They’re literally on fire, if Colorado and much of the west are any indication.
Mamdani derangement syndrome.
Oh please holy shit PLEASE let a few journalists start using this term in their reporting...!
They'd need to either hear it said or think of it themselves, best way to make that happen is to use it as often as you can.
These are the sacrifices we make so the data centers have enough power to help people write emails
And then read the emails on the other side. Don't forget about that important service. No one wants to read a bunch of AI generated emails.
We also need pictures of Trump Jesus and the Obama graffiti plane.
This is like the PSA to turn the water off while you shave or brush your teeth. A little done a lot can add up to something positive. I fail to see what is wrong with a “do your part” mentality as opposed to a “gonna get mine all the time” one.
They aren't freaking out, they are using it. Yeah, all of us here realize that the things they are saying are stupid, but so is the intended audience of their act.
"first-world country"? which one? that fascist cesspool?
