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!

Republicans have so masochistic shit going on. They don't mind hurting themselves as long as the people they dislike get hurt too. Evil cunts.
But they're good for the short term profits of the oligarchs. That's all they care about.
This is really no different from his assertion that NATO countries are somehow supposed to be paying "dues" or something, like a sort of mafia protection racket. He just speaks "stupid person" when the opportunity presents, any time the actual reality is a little on the complicated side and gives him some room to do so.
It was clear that Trump doesn't understand the concept when he was proclaiming in 2016 that "Mexico is going to pay for the wall".
Uh duh...
I like tariffs to keep us closer to allies and farther from enemies. I wish we were a paragon of freedom and democracy and had no tariffs for any country that was reasonably the same, but the less democratic and the less individual rights then the higher the tariffs. oh except carbon tax as well but that should apply internally as well.
One thing I'll agree with y'all on: no tariffs! Tariffs bad, trade wars bad. It was bad when Trump did it, and it they're bad when Biden did it.
