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!

This guy will say anything to get voted. Has never been following up on anything. Will do the exact opposite without any scrupules. It's of no use to say he promised this or that. That's not his game.
But he did give plastic straws back to the mob.
I will never understand how people fell for the most obvious lies from the most famous liar and grifter of our lifetimes, possibly ever
I understand that Republican party did a lot in the background to weaken education and literally blast them with propaganda 24/7, but the fact that they will continuously double down on lies that are obviously refutable to save face instead of admitting that they were wrong is so frustrating
Long time ago I used to work with property developers. There was a big fire in a building. It was on the radio. Right after we had a meeting with these guys. One guy entered laughing about it. He was bragging how they had totally ignored fire regulations and nothing was done correctly. His boss shussed him, nodding to us, not to talk like that in public.
Another developer, on a different project, was talking how in France they invented the holiday home when the government introduced the 13th month salary. He bragged about how shitty the construction was ("you could simply punch your fist through the wall").
That's the kind of people that run the states now. Getting rich and bragging about who is best at ripping off people. Like this video of a wealthy guy showing off a mountain of presents under a christmas tree and addressing the camera with "See this, you poor fucks, you'll never get this"
Because hes giving them what they want.
Freedom to be racist, hateful assholes.
Racism. That's why.
"Promises made, promises kept" 🤪
Two dumbasses downvoted this.
Well, he said he would be a dictator. On that point he did deliver. Maybe that's what these fine people were thinking of.
Voters believe him, unfortunately.
