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'm actually cheering on every act of open injustice reported by the media, bc apparently it's still not quite enough
Trump has done so much bad shit, each more unbelievable and outrageous than the last. Journalism has failed us because half of the country doesn't watch the news to be informed — they watch it for permission and validation.
I'm glad it's reported, and I'm kinda glad to know the scope of Trump's banal evil to the degree we do, but this will change nothing. Half the country hears cops covered up a murder and imagines Punisher taking out the baddies who hide behind corruption and legal technicalities — oh the fucking irony!
Also, MAGA is just all in on Trump. They have followed him so far that they need Fox to give them reasons not to examine their own choices. Fuck them. At least based on the average age of Fox viewership, most is them are already on death's door. The end of that generation can't come soon enough.
... of course once the boomers are gone I suppose I'm on the chopping block next. Already heard some zoomers lumping Gen X with boomers. I hope they are wrong. Yes, "woke" stole all our favorite homophobic slurs, but I think we're better for it and have no desire to go back.

I hope the old orange turd dies soon. What more is there to say :/
When he dies, government should make it a permanent national holiday, Trump Day.
That will be the real Liberation Day.
Comically evil
