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!

TIL vote buying is when you propose policies that people want and, not say, running a 1 million dollar lottery to sign a pro-trump petition
I guess we're about to find out if Elon has better lawyers than Mr Beast
On the one hand, he's richer. On the other hand, when he decided he didn't want to buy Twitter after all, even his lawyers couldn't get him out of that one.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest take off the day.
Even before Trump became the blubbering mess he is today, we've had 4 years of seeing him welch on every promise he's ever made. Why should anyone believe his campaign promises now?
Why, just a few days he vowed to use the United States military against citizens he doesn't like, such as Nancy Pelosi, which is patently illegal and gross. Imagine if Obama, Biden or Harris had said that at any point, you'd be up in arms!
You've let his propaganda convince you that he's on your team, so now you have to win no matter what, even if his policies are directly against your interests and freedoms as a human.
Woosh
Look through the original commenter's post history. They aren't joking. They keep posting pro-trump stuff
Well, that was a bad idea.
I would also love to see that!
Please Donald Trump, vow to quadruple the minimum wage! I promise it will cause doublethink among the libs and help your campaign!!
You seem to be under the impression that people hate Trump for being trump and not because he has dogshit policies and ideas.
If he did good things, like raising the minimum wage, liberals wouldn't hate him. But he also wouldn't have the rabid base of morons that he currently has.
After all he's done so far, I would vehemently disagree. He's a known liar, convicted fraudster, and a racist, misogynistic narcissist. Nothing he could do would make liberals hate him less before the day he dies because he doesn't have enough years left in his lifespan to atone for what's already been done.
