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!

Well, this is what the people in Dearborn voted for.
They get to watch the carpet bombing of Gaza.
Or he'll drop a nuke. Because that's the hardest anyone has been hit in our long and storied history.
This is what the people in Dearborn voted for—along with the people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and others.
Across the board, almost every category trended rightward (edit: by way of staying home, you know what I mean) since the last election. Ask yourself: why is your first instinct to attack the tiny minority in Michigan who have been treated as subhuman for months? They’ve been held in constant limbo while their families are killed, ignored as they plea for mercy from a government that continually sinks deeper into racism and hatred.
If I saw my friends and family being treated like irrational animals, I might not be surprised to feel the urge to act irrationally.
You’re not even wrong about your statements, but … have some damn empathy.
It didn't trend rightward.
Democrats stayed home just like they did in 2016.
They were convinced through our republican controlled media that voting wasn't worth the effort.
So now my empathy isn't worth their's. I hope all 88 million who stayed home on election day have a completely hellish next 2 years. I'm circling my wagons right here at home and watching those apathetic fuckers learn a major lesson.
It's probably the only way they will learn to pay attention. Or they will die from some weird ass disease.
Happy Holidays!
It's not "empathy" if it's part of some imagined negotiation in your mind.
Oh no! The carpet bombing of Gaza! Would hate to see that when Biden is out of office! Trump is going to hit the 25% of the remaining buildings!
I was thinking, hell to pay? Is that like, the name of the last neighborhood left or?
He'd have to drop 3 to make it harder.
Not necessarily. The bombs dropped on Japan had kiloton yields. ! modern nuke would easily be in the megaton range
Thank you so much for this comment! It's allowed me to add you to my block list so that I never have to hear such incredibly idiotic reductionism again. Really, thank you.
not a very nuanced comment but i appreciate your emotional connection to this situation :( sending love
It was about as nuanced as the comment it was in reaponse to and full of a lot more reality than the sorry mods here will acknowledge.
i think you were fully within the bounds of the rules until the last sentence
Isn't this the fascist that called prisoners of war losers? As if he gives two shits about hostages...
