Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The democratic party has absolutely no spine. They toss around a concept of standing up for the American people, then cower like scared children.

Im not sure how America gets out of this without a civil war if this is what the opposition does.

Of course they will. They are fully complicit and have stopped even pretending they aren’t.

Remember that your state's representatives work for you! Call now! Don’t just bitch on the intertubes, make the one actual phone call to a number that’s not in your contacts this year and tell them what you want!

you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.

Scott Perry very much does not work for me

The Democrats want us to scream for them louder. This is our punishment for resisting.

Both parties are owned by the same oligarchs and genocide committing child trafficking foreign lobby. Our government is occupied by Israel. DHS and Stephen miller say they have a goal to remove 100 million people. They are planning a genocide

America after 100 million deportations: empty, with bent palm trees and about to experience a tsunami... Apparently.
