Reminder: Jimmy Carter got rid of his family farm to avoid even the appearance of impropriety under the Emoluments Clause.

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!

Reminder: the Trump's steal from children's cancer funds because fuck em.
We are well into the new gilded age and robber barons are back in style
He didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He was forced to do it.
We need to purge the FBI DOJ FEC FTC and supreme court.
Preferably with extreme prejudice.
A bot filled social media hellscape, where the only advertisers are MAGA branded products and services, gold scams, homeopathic junk and the Pillow crackhead, isn't worth billions?
I, for one, need to lie down.
Trump's media company is utterly worthless. It never had any value. All it lost was a binch of pedofascist bootlickers who are rethinking their life choices.
Who would have thought that Pedophile Trump would lose $6 billion in investor wealth so quickly? Do you suppose a particular bovine with mischievous tendencies might be behind this misdeed? Or was it the farmer's fault?
Likely the latter.
I deleted my Twitter account years ago at, or shortly before, Space Karen started Sieg Heiling. So I haven't been able to follow up on things there - but I hope the cow is doing fine.
I too left Twitter around the same time, and I really wish that Mastodon would just replace Twitter already. There is a certain silliness that occurs there that is still rare on Mastodon. I'm excited for more of that silliness to come to the Fediverse. I don't look forward to all the Nazis who eventually will get bored of their echo chamber and try to meander over. I hope the right tools, people, and hardware are in place when it happens.
I kind of imagine all the right people and tools are there. I'm less confident on the hardware.
Oh no! And my Trump stocks were supposed to be the stable part of my investment portfolio
There’s a pole waiting for Nunez too
Wow, guy got fired for doing a bad job at a fake company. Serious loser.
