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!

Why is Trump denying and approving aid in the first place though?
Because he does what he wants and no one stops him, just like he will with his third term.
Yup. Every time I see someone ask how he does XYZ it just pisses me off. We should have revolted already, but nope we'll just keep asking how.
Because he micromanages. Because he's using the powers of the office for his own personal motives. And being mean to him is enough to trigger a response because he has the mental capabilities of a 5-year old.
Look, there is no reason to insult 5 year olds that way. Come on man. They're children.
Isn't it great that people in taker states can vote for a dickhead like Donnie so he can deny money to maker states on behalf of the rubes in taker states?
No taxation without representation
They could do with a movement that took it's name of this famous incident in Boston, where they refused to pay taxes on tea.
"raising new questions"?
Anyone with one working synapse knows that he is doing it for political reasons and for personal spite. Probably in the opposite order.
I'm so sick of the media pretending he's a normal president and that every new atrocity is a new revelation that he's maybe possibly corrupt
New questions?
Bah. Trash reporting.
Yeah these are very much not new and not questions. He's weaponizing the government against Democratic Americans. Totally cool thing for a President to do.
Well, it is Politico.
