Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I’m already planning on radically reducing my spending because of this. The good times are over. Go fuck yourselves, Trump-voters.

You were having good times??

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

With how bad things are about to get, they will look like good times in comparison.

Ha ha ha!

Man that's some great schadenfreude right there!

Vote on the economy but elect the party pushing tariffs across the board.

MAGAts don't understand tariffs. They just don't like the price of eggs... which will be on their faces soon.

Eh, eggs won't be affected to much by tarrifs but hey he's going to be gutting the FDA, EPA, and other regulator agencies so I'm sure bird flu, which is a major cause of the egg price spikes won't be a factor at all.

They will. If they mass deport we will not be able to produce produce (teehee) and farm sundries without a immigrant base. I think it was Arkansas that banned migrant farm work and ended up reversing immediately because no one else wants to work on a fucking farm that they don't own.

Honestly, I hope they put in all of their planned changes. And I hope we all suffer. Fuck it, watch it burn.
