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!

Embarrassing for the Republicans, but I don’t see a lot of “panicking”.
Like, if you’re an EMT or a soldier, you’ve probably seen all the elevated alarm responses people display when the shit hits the fan. Do the responses discussed in this article even register?
They aren’t “panicked”, they’re annoyed. They’re not panicked because the obvious reality has not changed.
Trump is immune from prosecution for his actions, which will all be construed as being done in his capacity as President, and even if the Democrats put on a show trial, they will fumble deliberately or put some type of petty sanction or fine of him, because they ultimately work in concert with Republicans and take their policy directive signaling from them, and at the very least they have receipts on one another. The rest in the administration, though they might be diminished in their popularity and ability to move about in society without derision and scorn, maybe they’ll get indicted too, but again, nothing will really come of it for the same reasons. They’ll still be rich from insider trading and crypto rug pulls.
They’re not scared.
This is a war with two fronts. The only way to win is to have an army of tens of thousands of progressives/leftists who are willing to be one term politicians in as many districts as possible.
One term. Kamikaze baby.
Right now there are a handful of hopeful prospects but not anywhere near the groundswell that I’m talking about.
You get something like that going, really picking up seats and state offices in big numbers, then they’ll “panic”.
When they start leaving the country, that’s how you’ll know they’re panicking.
Great idea and funnel them to RunForSomething to learn
