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!

Trump kills it with stroke victims, we know.
Can someone just kill this stroke ridden bastsrd already?
Can they stop putting D next to his name, he is clearing a republican
To be fair, he's still a dick.
It’s telling that the defining event in his political transformation was a serious neurological injury. We’re all apparently one brain bleed away from right-wing authoritarianism. Also, nobody seems surprised that somebody diminished from their former selves will naturally move to the right. Its almost as if that worldview is more suited to people who aren’t accustomed to thinking.
It’s a bit more about difficulty not choosing aggressive responses when you’ve suffered brain damage. Making you very easy to be lured away from collected information. As a stroke is a pretty extreme situation, it’s surprising he wasn’t asked to step down given the seriousness of the injury and the long term mental deficits that come along with it. It can usually take roughly 20 years for a healthy person to come close to a semblance of recovery.
Lately, though, some Democrats say he’s appealing to Republicans and turning his back on his party
Pretty sure he has been doing this since the day he took office.
Fucking ogre cunt. Stroke out already you fucking traitor bitch
More like an Orc under the command of the orange Sauron.
In a Wednesday appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, Fetterman [attempted to] cut into Democratic attacks on Trump’s remarks that he is not focused on the financial situations of Americans while negotiating with the Iranian government, arguing Trump’s comments were “clipped.”
Fuck the Hill for making me add that, moving on,
“He said something that got clipped … saying, ‘I’m not thinking about American people financially,’ but what he really was saying — he did say — is, ‘I’m really thinking that we can’t ever let Iran building a bomb,’” Fetterman told Hannity.
A) He really did say "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." He did not ever say "I’m really thinking that we can’t etc." or any other more polished statement you wished he did say. B) If you're really so concerned about putting Trump's comments into full context, Trump said Iran's ability to build a bomb was already "totally obliterated" last year. But you're not, you're not even cherry picking stuff, you're just straight making shit up to make Trump look good because you're a scumbag like that.
I don’t like using labels like DINO and RINO, but if anyone deserved to be called a DINO, it’s Fetterman.
I'd prefer the label "Here lies John Fetterman, traitor to the United States".
He's lumbering his way farther to the right every day.
i think the stroke he suffered before his election really messed him up. he has not been the same since.
KICK HIM OUT
