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!

Congress doesn't care. There's absolutely zero rule of law when it comes to Trump.
All these dipshit brushing off his threats to the midterms need to wake up real fucking fast. Trump never lies about his depravity when he's admitting to it.
Millions will die because stupid fucking Americans are too arrogant to take anything Trump threatens seriously, and are too fucking stupid to be able to understand how life is always worse under fascism than neo-liberalism.
the us government, by not caring, aren't doing anything to stop him, thus they are doing nothing to stop the rise of fascism. what does this really say about congress?
who the fuck cares what it says about congress.
what does this all say about taking to the streets?
which branch of government is "the streets" again?
It's not a branch, it's the trunk
the one built in the rubble of this broken system?
why do Americans still have faith that the system will save them yet?
the one built in the mistakes of this form of government.
because cograts, you got a dictator. start over and try again.
why do Americans still think they can vote their way out?
A lot of us don't.
We just don't own any news organizations, we aren't billionaires, so you rarely hear about it.
Sure, we could argue with the R and D dreamers every minute of every hour of every day, but there's not much point to it.
I vote, I just realize it's for entertainment purposes only and it won't actually accomplish anything of note.
Yeah I've been saying we're not likely to have real midterms since Trump won. My family members brushed me off at the time, but the last few weeks they seem to have come around. It's possible they're just humoring me after all this time but i really believe more and more people are becoming fully ready to support a movement that actually fights for people. The only issue now is organizing that movement and convincing everyone to stick with it. How hard could THAT be? :)
The one that has the final say when it's in full operation.
