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!

I know everyone points to his stroke as the reason why he behaves this way today, but I sure as hell remember him still being a reasonable human being between the time of his stroke and being elected. I think it’s just a convenient excuse to cover up the fact that he’s been either been bought out by AIPAC, or was a GOP plant all along. Either way, I wish people would stop bringing up the stroke as the reason he’s such a fuckwad today.
I agree. It wasn’t the stroke. He’s just a piece of shit and once he got access to some power the mask came flying off.
One of a long line of fake progressives who had the audacity to promise what we desperately need and the cruelly deny us once in office. It hurts that so few of them are legitimate actors.
I heard from Pennsylvanians that he was this way before the election.
Yep. Pennsylvania is called Pennsyltucky for a reason. There's also a point where the biggest population of the KKK was once in Pennsylvania.
Per capita I thought it was Indiana, at least in their heydey. The kkk that is.
I think that it was actually Oregon.
As a territory, Oregon was segregated to the point where black people were not allowed in the state at all.
Oregon joined the Union with an exclusion law in place.
It's still a hot bed of white supremacy.
He's just a liar.
That is incorrect, he was always a piece of shit, he was play acting at not being. I know because he supported fracking the entire time.
Well, my point that the stroke is not to blame for his behavior in office still stands at least.
I agree.
