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!

Chuck Schumer can hardly wait to send more sternly-worded questions in a letter!
Democrats are a bunch of pussies. We need more outspoken like jasmine Crockett
I want a president who is just as cruel as Trump but towards republicans and their voters. I want to see them belittled and insulted and mocked constantly on the national stage for the next 10-15 years to balance the scales. I want to see the president lie constantly about their mandatory reform plans for the red states and troll/distract them with extreme executive overreach on inconsequential issues that piss off the MAGAts most with a "What are you gonna do about it, pussy?" attitude or just say it out loud at the podium to rile them up. I want them to keep the current level of ICE funding and dedicate all of it to hunting down radical right wing hate groups and sending THEM to El Salvador, then disband it when the mission is done. I want them to sign executive orders and implement policies that takes every single one of the right wing media's insane talking points and dials it up to 11. Every time the right squeals move further to the left until they piss themselves. Force redistricting in every red state in a way that unfairly favors democrats. Pass federal voter suppression laws that make it easier for the originally targeted demographics to vote while disenfranchising rural whites. Go after churches that get political, ban them from funding candidates and revoke their tax-exempt status, capping it off with an "Inshallah" post on Xitter. Allow Blue States to opt out of their federal taxpayer funds being sent to red states as long as they continue to be shitbags and make it an official policy in those exact words. Pack the supreme court and fuck shit up on OUR behalf. I want the next Dem president to show some fucking teeth and fight dirty.
Basically I want a president whose platform is "Sit down, shut the fuck up, get with the program and also fuck you".
That'd require a media mogul (like Fox) batting for us. None do.
