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!

That one kills me. They elected a guy who promised to "Build the wall". I had a neighbor who was in construction and was bragging about how much wall they were building.
Then Trump gets fired and they're back to "our borders are wide open!" Wtf people? I thought you built a wall.
An coworker at my previous job was parroting the border crisis about 6 months ago. I snarkingly mentioned the orange turd's wall and then he hits back
"But Biden welded doors open in certain parts. So fighting age men from China and Middle East are just walking in"
I sat back and was kiiinda dumbfounded, didn't look it up because he's one of those "I ReAd BoTh SiDeS" people who claims they're the most well informed. I immediately dismissed his statement when an even more blatant right-wing knob-slobber repeates the exact same "fighting age men" comment
Imo that literally should be the only response to trump and his followers in any situation for any answer:
“Where is ya wall Donny? 4 years and no wall?”
Also why did he pardon Steve Bannon for his "We Build the Wall" scam?
