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!

Greenland is going to be a state now?
Did... anyone ask them...?
Grab 'em by the Parliament
Yes. An overwhelming majority do not want to join the US.
Meanwhile, Puerto Rico and D.C.: "am I a joke to you?!"
Puerto Rico is brown people and DC is a majority black so like yes they are a joke to these people
Doesn't Washington DC host the largest and longest running clown convention on the planet?
I guess that is one way to refer to congress
More polite than me, that’s for sure.
You laugh but clown conventions are a real thing. https://worldclown.com/2026-wca-convention/
Damn, looks like serious business there.
Don't blame them one bit. USA has fallen soooooo far.
Surprising. Can't imagine why.
If anything they're going to be a territory or something like that. There's no way they get two senators.
Right. Imagine these clowns accidentally adding 3 blue electoral college votes for no reason.
Because taxation without representation worked so well the first time around
Residents of US territories don't pay federal income tax.
Papa rape ape is finna force greenland to make their own taliban
This is totally going to end well.
Totally.
Of course not. Same reason why Puerto Rico isn't a state. They'd vote blue
Didn’t stop us with Hawaii
Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of our past.
But it's not looking good.
We never do
Ask our etetnal adversaries?
We have always been at war with Greenland.
East-Asia is our ally.
Oh no. Definitely not a state. Just a territory. The people there won't get citizenship or anything.
So no taxation?
Maybe. Small consolation prize. Puerto Rico doesn't pay federal income taxes, though they do get citizenship.
American Samoans don't pay federal income taxes but they also don't get citizenship.
That would be undemocratic because it would go againts the wishes of the democratically elected President of the United States. 4D chess only an idiot would come up with.
