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!

It is hilarious how overconfident US conservatives are here, the US is a collapsing empire what leverage do we have to do anything but speed up de-dollarization?
I mean I know Trump's body is a dumpster about to collapse any moment from decades of cocaine and BK burgers, he doesn't care, but this is clearly disaster capitalism, classic Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein shit.
Republicans clearly want to pump and dump the entire US economy, damn the consequences, consequences are for people not blessed by God.

Oh we can totally fix our problems, but it is going to require sacrifice and a lot of creativity.
These jokers can only see extracting as much as they can like the blood suckers they are. They are incapable of thinking of the future and unfit to lead their own family, let alone a country.
Only psychopaths would destroy the nation that created, supports, and protects them, but that's MAGA for you.
Ultimately, we will be saved by their own virtuosic incompetence, but the question remains as to how much damage they will do before they spool out enough rope to hang themselves.
From the beginning, we had three Sociopathic Oligarchs (well, two actual ones, and one wannabe), two from foreign nations with no loyalty to America, and one psychopathic American who literally cares about nothing but greed and his own endless hate, all viewing America as a fat, lazy, RICH target to be exploited into the ground.
This isn't even new behavior for Trump, he's done this many times before. He sees America the same way he saw his casinos - as bank accounts to fully drain, and then walk away with all the money, as the casino, or in this case, country, collapses.
BK catching strays here, we all know he’s a McDonald’s guy
I think BK fries are better anyway
