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!

The world outside Murikkka is, like, expecting there will be some sort of a reckoning….but the Murikkkan populace is already too abject. Murikkkans would rather live in total shit if it “owns the libs” or hurts someone else worse then it hurts them. One thing is for sure though, people will die - be it through lack of healthcare or some other way. The billionaire class has decided it no longer needs cheap labour. That should be cause for concern.
We have plenty of armed citizens, but that's the hilariously fucked part of it. Gun owners are BY VAST, FARRRRR MAJORITY- Republicans. If it's not on Fox News they don't know it, haven't heard of it, don't give a fuck about learning it. Even if they suddenly every single one of them realized how fucked they are, and they ALL lined up outside of their local city halls, state capitols, and so on TOMORROW they'd only be answered with the largest "riot control" force ever assembled on the planet with more tear gas than they can imagine. Not one word of their message would be heard, only violence would be televised. We learned that in LA.
People are already going hungry and dying, just not the people you might immediately expect. Right now it's the low income elderly, (who can't get medical help to save their lives, the sick, the homeless, and immigrants, who (if they haven't already been put in camps) are too afraid to even say more than "Hi" in passing when I pass them in apartment halls.
This place is fucked, but most haven't realized it yet.
And when Trunp sends MAGA minions to try to annex Canada, they’ll discover that we are also armed to the teeth. We just don’t make it our identity.
Good. Send them back with plenty of holes.
