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!

Damn even military people can't stand him anymore uh. How hard is it to be a sitting republican president and keep the support of the troops seriously.
In my military service, we saw Republicans praise us publicly, but then turn around and cut all our benefits and funding behind the scenes. The only reason military members still have any benefits are because of Democrats blocking Republicans. Otherwise, we'd be borderline slaves; nothing but warm bodies for the government to throw at our enemies. (If you serve in the Army or Marines, you're practically that already)
My uncle retired from the US Air Force in the mid-'90s. Because he retired, he was automatically given free medical and dental for the rest of his life. He never earned any disability rating from the VA, but they're covering him completely. His civilian spouse also got free medical and dental for life, just for being married to him.
I retired in 2022 from the US Air Force. They told me I would only get medical coverage for any disabilities the VA approved a claim on. Everything else, I'd have to get my own separate civilian medical insurance to cover. My wife had to serve herself and earn her own disability ratings to get any medical coverage. That retirement benefit has been extremely neutered in the past couple decades, thanks to Republicans trying to end VA coverage for veterans.
The Donvict's incompetence in governing is abysmally lower than most people realize. His focus is on corruption, like insider trading and suing/criminalizing political enemies, not serving the American public, and definitely not helping people that he himself considers suckers. Too many MAGA supporters mistake Trumpepstein's nationalism for patriotism.
