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!

Deus vult!
Donbald definitely needs a few distractions from many things going on at home -
- Kidnapping people, including children, off the streets, and disappearing them, at his direction.
- The economy hitting the shitter thanks to his fuckery and general dumbassery. The contrast between now and last year is quite something.
- Of course the Epstein files that he's definitely not in.
- As for foreign affairs, there is that ceasefire that really isn't and his "deal" with China that really was a gigantic fail.
I feel really bad for the extraterrestrial believers out there because if they actually exist, the orange moron would have definitely had said something by now as yet another distraction.
Wait, people believe we're just magically the only living beings in the universe?
Gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant extraterrestrials that have visited Earth.
Yeah, this. I mean that ships have crashed and the government is hiding them/bodies, etc. I don't know one way or the other if other stuff is living in the entire universe. It would make sense if there was, given the size and all. But there is also no evidence that there are other beings.
I'm not saying that because I think we are special or anything, but I think it's irresponsible to go around claiming that we aren't alone either.
- The economy hitting the shitter thanks to his fuckery and general dumbassery. The contrast between now and last year is quite something.
Not for everyone, those earning $100k or more with housing equity, as house prices increase and stock's are at all time high, those folks are apparently doing well.
I guess the moral of that story is... don't be poor ? /s
As someone in that group, there's a huge difference between doing well on paper and actually doing well. My peers and I are worried about losing our jobs, and there's a likelihood we won't be seeing a significant portion of our paychecks due to the economic hits from the tariffs. Sure, my net worth is technically higher since last year, but that doesn't mean much when you're 30 years from retirement. I can't just infinite money glitch my 401k by taking out loans like billionaires can with their net worth.
I realize that I'm a lot better off than most, but I only bring this up to point out that even people who aren't poor are also feeling plenty of negative economic pressure as well.

At least two literal genocides happening in the world right now (Gaza and Darfur) and we're prepping to invade Nigeria???
It'd probably be like Vietnam, only harder.
I want to see how different he thinks Nigerian Christians and Muslims look like.
So says merica 1st prez
