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!

Thats nothing like me. I filled it out on the couch and popped it in the mail. Its like the only decent thing to come out of this decade.
Except he can legally literally start killing everyone in line in front of him until he is first in line.
No he can't lol
Yes huh. Clarence Thomas says so.
As long as he declares
"I am about to commit an official act as president" before he starts his rampage it's all good
I wonder who he voted for.
Dukakis
Boy, there are a lot of Negative Nancys in the Fediverse.
Hi, Negative Nancy here: what exactly should I take this to be other than either A) useless drivel or B) propaganda?
Because presidents are demonstrably not like us. They only come from the rich and they are fully above the law. They can decide, based on nothing but their own ego, that they need to run the country and anyone that stands in their way gets to be demonized by an extremely well-funded political party.
They can spend their entire career making student loan debt an unshakeable yolk for an entire generation and then pretend like they're doing something about it by following through on existing law and failing to do anything substantial.
It's pretty sad. This place is full of communists that think they're moderate left and they hate anyone with money.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but by "eat the rich" we do not mean you, and it is somewhat delusional to think it will ever mean you. You're not that important, and nobody's coming for your tiny scraps of a house and overly fancy toothbrush you got for 50% off on prime day.
We just think maybe when billionaires have yachts that emit more pollution in 20 mins than most do in a lifetime amid record homelessness and debt despite record prosuctivity, we have to change society somewhat to realign our priorities towards a more egalitarian outcome.
Most people support that - and if that makes us radicals well slap my butt and call me a forgotten 90s anthropomorphic animal marketing mascot in sick shades cuz I'm radical as hell
A lie.
Are you suggesting the pictures are all deepfakes?
No, I meant "They're like us" is a lie.
