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!

Foremost the virus was not Trump's fault it came out of Wuhan Lab. To answer the question Trump localized the burden of command to the states. Governors then took executive action. In Michigan Whitmore decided to put infected patients with COVID in nursing homes effectively killing the elderly. Was that Trump's fault?
The pandemic is a convenient culture war battle ground for each side to spite the other. My opinion won't be popular but my life doesn't stop where your fear begins. I completely disregarded all orders and rules then worked as normal. I was the first to demask. You wouldn't believe how many people thanked me as they walked into the store and took off their mask after seeing one man simply dissenting against the bullshit.
Most ppl wore bandanas or surgical masks which were not designed as shields against germs. One was designed so doctors would not spit into patients during surgery. It was never meant to be worn for 8 hours. Now ppl have micro plastics in their lungs. They're certainly not respirators which several liberals tried to convince me they were.
I know the liberals will whine and bitch that the uneducated republicans are killing everyone. But will they call Whitmore out? Will they call out AOC who was dining out in public in Florida and sunbathing on a crowded beach as her constituents were under authoritarian lockdown measures? No.
It's just Trump derangement syndrome and culture war bullshit. Most liberals jabbed from the very vaccine made possible by Warp Speed and Trump's executive action.
I'm not going to say Trump's actions were perfect. Biden and the DNC decried Trump's decision to ban international flights from China and other places as racism during the pandemic.
I'm just sick of the bullshit. It's not all Trumps fault. The democrats had their stinky hands in the COVID deaths too.
More and more people are saying it, folks
