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!

Give that man in green a mushroom
I mean the Koch brothers walked so these goons could run. They literally started the trend of using dark money in politics. The book Dark Money is about THEM.
I don't see a reason to place oligarchs in a hierarchy, they're all trash.
Why bother? No one gets to that position by caring about others.
When will these people ever have enough? It's a sickness. I mean, seriously.
Many humans are fucking hot garbage (I mean that in the double entendre) and are basically so focused on their competition and their legacy that wealth doesn’t mean anything for them. And so many other shitty humans want nothing more than to be in that position because there’s some genetic wiring for some people that their best feeling is being better than someone else, and now that’s taken to the extremes we see today.
Bunch if billionaires scheming on how to make money through high crimes against America. Like...go sail in your fucking yachts and get the fuck out of our White House you insanely greedy fucks.
Depending on what timeline we are on, it might not work out so well for them in the long run. Fingers crossed.
Sounds like a job for The Adjuster
United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson was pretty brazen - just saying.
Maybe Musk can be as brazen as United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson.
I don't think Musk is capable enough. In fact I would challenge or even triple dog dare Musk to not use any security from here on out. I know he won't because he's not man enough.
Because they don’t have to.
People don’t care enough to stop them.
I don't think it'll be much longer before they have no choice but to care.
What I'd like to know is was Andreesen always this much of an asshole?
I knew he went VC and figured he was at least kinda douchey, but I didn't follow his arc since the 90s where most of us just knew him as the guy that worked on Mosaic and founded Netscape...
