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 do not like that man Ted Cruz,
I do not like his far-right views.
I do not like his stupid chin,
I do not like his smarmy grin.
I do not like him with a beard,
I do not like him freshly sheared.
I do not like Ted Cruz at all,
That man Ted Cruz can suck my balls.
I don't like Ted Cruz, yet I will allow him to do an intimate sexual act with my delicate testicles
🤨
The plan pushed by Cruz and Scott has been sought by conservatives for many years. Under current law, an investor who bought $100 worth of stock in 1990 and sold it today for $300 would currently owe capital gains taxes on the full $200 in profit. But the $100 investment in 1990 would be worth roughly $230 in today’s dollars after accounting for inflation. Under the Cruz-Scott proposal, the investor would only owe taxes on that $70, rather than the full $200. That is why the proposal is known as “indexing capital gains for inflation.”
Ah, so the ultra-wealthy who have been holding during the longest bull market in history can get a massive discount for dumping on us peons?
Yes, and remember only about 40% of the country had stocks, and most of them are in the hands of 10%. So grandma might get a lil tax break and bezos gets a big one.
They are kind of stuck in a paradox though because they are causing so much fucking inflation that the stock market is really the only place to keep money. Idk where they’re going to stick cash from selling stocks. Could be a market crash on the horizon a planned one.
I really don’t think these guys want off the inflated asset train so I’m kinda more suspicious on this particular handout
What does congress even do anymore?
Collect free health care and a big paycheck that most Americans will never see. Sometimes they deregulate companies and invest in there stocks creating massive wealth. They manufacture consent for war, eat hot chip and lie basically
Ancient Rome before the fall of the Republic is eerily similar. Only difference is, we don't have Caesar and Pompey. We instead have a chuckle Fuck who rapes children and is the single dumbest person alive.
We do love recreating classic movies
Ted “my dad isn’t the zodiac” Cruz
The most interesting part of this is the timing. 11 months since the trump admin did the largest pump and dump in human history during the great tariff terror of 2025. I was there watching markets drop 5-7% a day for a week. I was there when my accounts got major margin calls at the low. I was there when trump tweeted on truth social and the markets rose 20% in one day and almost 100% over the next 6 months.
So I know a $200 Billion capital gains tax relief package when I see it! More tax cuts for the rich. Congress has no hopes of passing it so they are hoping the president can wave his magic wand and cough up $200B
It wasn't enough that they stole all your money and manipulated markets, they need a tax break on all the money they stole!
200 billion is peanuts to the tens of trillions the neoliberal-conservative cancer has been stealing from the working class for the last 50 years. They won't stop until they rule all life on Earth, or kill all life on Earth.
Late stage capitalism is fascism, and the fact that Luigi was an anomaly — even after our governments and intelligence agencies are proven to be run by criminally corrupt pedophiles — proves how mentally ill our entire civilization truly is. We are little more than talking apes, and we prove it every single day.
But 200 billion is a lot of money for a single handout aimed at .01% of the population 😅
I think they’re probably going to throw us in the wood chipper soon

What?
God forbid men do anything
Got it, thanks.
Also important to note that the operator of that site has been editing archived pages, so who the fuck knows if anything still matches the original.
But yes, the malicious hijacking of people's browser to launch a DDoS attack is worse.
Sorry! Happy to correct. Can someone lend me a clean url?
I think we maybe need to force these idiots watch School House Rock again.
Maybe their voters, too.
RIGHT! I forgot about that. We learned this shit when we were toddlers. 😭 this is preschool level political science they are failing. Clearly a sign of dementia.
