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!

Fuck him.
781,343 deaths.
You don't just get to go "oops!" and walk away.
Nearly eight hundred thousand dead in the first year. Probably much more by now.
He's still 'a little too involved' in politics. He's flinging his shit around the UK and EU now.
Sounds to me like he's admitting culpability for his crimes though. Some prosecutor should get on that.
Oh he's biding time. He sees what Trump did. He is going to come back as a politician after taking capitalism to its logical conclusion of "evil."
The worst part is that he's the wealthiest person to ever exist. He has more than enough money to help. He could be telling everyone in his employment to begin to undo the mess he made, but he won't. He may donate a few million to a charity (that he owns) to build up some good will with the poors. The people he pays to be around him will tell him what a saint he is, caring for the poor. He'll feel good about himself again. While millions of children still die.
We had to cut $400M in global aid and kill 800k kids in order to fund a pointless $50B war (and counting) that doesn't exist but also we already won, where we killed tens of thousands more (and counting).
