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!

Looking from outside in I just can not fathom how any country. And that's any country at all, ever. Could fall so low that Donvict fucking Drumpf not only has the option but also the ability, to throw away centuries of law and history away and take control.
It just doesn't make sense.
The guys a fucking imbecile, there's no evil genius inside of him. Evil, yes. Genius, fuck no.
His professor at uni called him the dumbest student he ever had.
Yet this failed reality TV star, and even worse businessman (plus convicted criminal and rapist, paedo, con man, racist etc etc), just bumbled in to politics and is now about to rip up their constitution and wipe his shitty arse on it without much pushback.
Fucking hell, make it make sense. Fucks sake.
Sitting on the inside here. I'm perpetually astounded as well. Very little of this suprises me anymore but plenty of things shock me.
He's a stereotypical conman; so shallow, so obvious. And yet, my family and former friends continue to slurp up his bullshit. It's so fucking stupid. He's so stupid. On paper, many of these people are smarter than the orange used car salesman.
It's difficult to describe how astounded I really am. Black magic or aliens would make more sense. I would find a novel or show with this unrealistic.
I wonder if I'll ever understand?
Same here BUT food prices shooting up, farmers are going boots up and the stock market implosion is at the door. Ya would think hitting them on the head with this economic baseball bat would get their attention. Oh, the live fire "demonstration" hit a Highway Patrol vehicle .
Ey yo. The "No Kings" Protest, people like Newsom, Prizker, AOC, Bernie and Mamdani still give me some hope that your country isn't lost - and with it, the NATO and all free countries.

This has been in the works for a century and it's just finally happened.
They tried it once already in the 30s when Bush Jr's grandfather Prescott Bush and his pals tried to get Smedley Butler to overthrow Roosevelt.
Fortunately back then they had a general in mind with some ethics and he didn't play along. This time they found Trump.
You are not wrong. This situation is a reflection of America's greed, ignorance and utter moral failure. A "Christian" country - don't make me laugh.
Because he’s just the personality in front of this shit, this has been brewing for decades. He has no clue what he’s doing, but they let him because it works as a distraction while the millers and voughts dismantle things.
Much like Regan and Bush Junior, Trump is the front man to smarter (but not really smart) people who orchestrate everything. He just happens to be broadly aligned with what they want, and every now and again they throw him a bone with his personal vendettas while allowing his family to make obscene amounts of money via various scams and bribes.
What is truly astounding is how many people voted for the orange buffoon a second time, and still support him now. He has always been very clear as to what he is, what he will do, yet they still vote for him? Racism and hate has to be a powerful perfume that covers up the rancid stench of Trump and his goons.
People still calling him smart is the thing that makes me shit my pants. I don't know how anyone can think that who has just heard him talk for more than 10 seconds. This isn't even hyperbolic. It's like north korea, but they don't want to kiss their leaders ass they have to. Americans bend over to get fucked harder, because they like it.
