politics
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!

Republicans:
breaks government
look at how broken our government is!
Republicans:
grabs a gun, shoots the govt
why would democrats do this?
rides bicycle, puts stick in wheel spokes
why would democrats do this?
Repeat ...
That's okay; their supporters also don't believe in the fundamental concept of progress.
You'd think that would be a requirement to hold office, but the desire to improve things is definitely not a requirement.
They've been on vacation for six weeks. When they return today, they have three weeks to provide government funding.
Yet again? Been like that for decades. Seems like a useless article. 🤷♂️
LOL, delivering for the American people? The cons are only there to work for the elites.
Republicans say the same exact thing about Democrats. And they're both right. Imagine that, common ground we could all get behind. But no, it's not those elites that are our enemies, it's definitely each other. The elite controlled corporate media I consume makes that very clear.
I wish I was a Republican Politician so I could get paid HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, even MILLIONS if you coun't Bribes, of Dollars for doing Literally Nothing but complain about Freeloaders. Unfortunately Democrats have to ACTUALLY Work 😣
