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!

Hmm how could ANYONE have seen this coming. Oh everyone did?
Evidently not everyone did...
77M ducking idiots either did not see it coming (stupid) or just "outright wanted* it to be so (asshole dicks).
🤷🤷
Also the idiots who didn't vote.
Most of them are cheering this on with thunderous applause. They truly believe he is doing incredible things. It's insane.
It'll take time before the damage starts to really, really be felt.
Federal judges across the country have issued injunctions on everything he's been writing up at this point. We're all just waiting for what is left of our legal process to finish, if it's allowed to do so given the current state of things. These judges will hopefully drag their feet on any ruling. If the appeals court does the same then you've got a while before the scotus can do Trump's bidding.
Inevitably when the process either finishes or Trump bullies these people out of their posts it'll take about a month or two. When social services get cut so that people aren't getting their social security, can't access or afford medications and whatever else he's cooked up they'll cry. They probably won't point the finger in the right place though.
What even is a government? Whateveah, I got to go get my nails done. -Ducking Idiot.
What even is a government? Rogan and Tate say they made a 19th amendment, and i dont see how that benefits me to have so much useless regulation. -Ducking Idiot.
Edit: /s needed, apparently
