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!

Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.
How the fuck are the sticking to their guns? They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.
Literally the opposite of "sticking to their guns"
???
Which guy did they campaign for?
Ah, OP was referencing a different group of faces being offered up yesterday in conjunction with this.
https://apnews.com/article/arab-americans-trump-gaza-name-peace-479f6777cac7bac52fb098daa0821cb5
They endorsed, campaigned for, and voted for the guy that just said to ethnically cleanse Gaza and had his First Lady give a neo Nazi salute twice at his inauguration.
Man you're really out of touch with the Arab community here.
Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.
I'm rooting for you!
The area was levelled under Biden. There would be zero restraint either way. The limiting factors are the groups actually fighting against the genocidal American Empire and its pet rabid dog.
You keep thinking that, good luck and enjoy watching what will unfold.
You people are truly sick.
You're the one enabling nazis bro. Wake the fuck up
I least I'm not actively voting for them like y'all are.
You make choices, you live with the consequences. It's as simple as that.
You agree that Trump is the lesser of two evils then there's nothing to say at this point but you must live with the consequences of those actions.
That's life, that's reality, that's consequences.
What a nice little rationalization you have for not regarding them as human.
Has there ever been a people more arrogant than your kind? When you look through the past, you see all these cases of genocide, not one of them justified, and you think, "Ah, but they were all stupid. I'm so smart that when I support it, it's the only rational, objectively correct decision." It doesn't even give you a moment of pause. You don't even have the decency to speak about it with the gravity it deserves. You gleefully watch people die because it gives you the satisfaction of believing in your own rightness and superiority over the fools who actually give a damn. Meanwhile, you are so shortsighted and unimaginative that you think the laws imposed by our mortal rulers are as rigid and unchangable as natural law.
Honestly, the more I talk to people like you, the more I understand religious people. Much as I dislike religion, if it provides immunization against your way of thinking, perhaps it's worth it! Is there any way of thinking that's worse than yours?
What a utterly stupid comment.
The fact that you have so little understanding that people can hold more than one opinion and rationale and seriously think that simple pointing out that Arab Americans that endorsed Trump must now live with the consequences and conflating that with that must mean holding that opinion means you're jumping for joy that Trump is advocating for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
May you love in the interesting times your brought upon us all.
Not as stupid as treating the moral line against genocide as more flexible than the bounds of political acceptability our rulers have attempted to impose.
You people are dooming us more surely than anything else. Even if a democrat won every election, it would change nothing and we would still be right on track to fascism. It was your genius strategy of, "Accept literally anything, make no demands under any circumstances" that brought us into this situation in the first place. If you had shown any indication that you were capable of acting based on values or principles, the democrats would've known better than to think they could get away with this. Even now, you're trying to prevent them from receiving the message that they would need to hear in order to win next time.
