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!

Someone somewhere in one of those agencies should have arranged for Musk to have an accident. The fact that he is still breathing tells me that all the alphabet agencies have been compromised. The Secret Service showed that they were all-in on supporting Trump by deleting all their phone data surrounding the Jan-6 insurrection rather than turning it over to congressional investigators. Now, the inaction of the rest of our intelligence and national security agencies in this time of crisis makes them complicit in this new attack. They were the last line of defense against this sort of assault. Democracy has fallen.
If you expect any US government agency to save us from tyranny then you are going to be disappointed. It is bad now, but it was just as bad during every war, 9/11, Suffrage, Civil Rights, etc. the cold hard truth is it has always been really bad.
We are an empire in decline and apparently those in charge have a plan. Suppress people and become imperialist again. What is a little more human suffering if there is money to be made. Our one true god.
Stop saying we're an empire in decline. I don't want to hear the truth.
Fair enough, I don't like it either. But leaning hard into imperialism and invading Canada, Panama, and Greenland is not palatable to me.
Why can't we work together to enjoy what we have left or invent something new. This is the real travesty to me.
I am with you 100% on this brother.
