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!

Why would the House of Saud do that?
Why would Lukashenko do that?
Why would Vladimir Putin do that?
Why would the subjects of Louis XVI do that?
I see... so your plan is to make billionaires illegal in the U.S., hope that other countries do to, but if they don't, hope for a revolution, and if that revolution doesn't come, commit war crimes in their countries.
I'm sure the U.S. assassinating a Russian billionaire inside Russia won't have any serious repercussions.
But hey, global thermonuclear war will end global warming, so I guess you did come up with a solution.
If they are as rich as an independent nation, I see no reason why we shouldn't treat them as an independent nation.
I'm pretty sure billionaires are a threat to the world, not just the U.S.
And, yes, I get that you think nuclear war is a solution, you've already made that clear.
Is it true that Jeff makes you put on an Amazon vest and call him "Daddy" while he's plowing your ass?
Yes, that makes sense. Because I think billionaires are a global threat, I must worship Jeff Bezos.
Logic.
I didn't insinuate that you worship Jeff Bezos. I insinuated that you call him Daddy while he rails you.
I figure if you're going to present bald-faced lies about my position, turnabout is fair play.
If Jeff Bezos wants to be richer than some nations, we can treat him like the autocratic ruler of a nation. When an autocratic nation brings harm to Americans, we do something about it.
Okay?
