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!

Edit: this graph is probably outdated since now the National debt is soon to reach 39T.. so add another 2 T to the pedophiles pie there. Fucking moron.
Tell the idiot the trick of this pie is to NOT have the biggest slice...
I'm awful at math, but how the hell is 12.5 a third of 24.5?!
Yikes, I hope you have someone review your taxes...
$12.5T is about a third of the total, which is $37T. $24.5T is the other ~2/3s
He did say that he was awful at maths.
Ahhh yeah this makes sense, thanks :)
It's not, it's about one half. But the chart is of three halves and one of the three belongs to Trump.
I get it now, thanks :)
Won't that get worse when they have to pay back the tariff money? I assume they don't just have the money laying around and they are just going to borrow more to pay those.
I imagine it'll get a lot worse. You gotta include legal fees from all the companies that will be suing for the refund.
Is this adjusted for inflation? Not that I think Trump is any less of a fucking moron if it isn't, just curious
Given that it is the current debt in today's dollars, it is automatically adjusted for inflation.
