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!

MAGA is dragging the USA down to the low level of Vlad's Fucked Up Russia.
Oh yeah, fucked up Russia, with its hundreds of military bases around the world, supporting endless terrorist regimes in the Middle East, supplying nukes to Israel, like that?
Russia isn't even 1/10th of what you loons do every day. Fucked up Russia? What's fucked up about it that you don't do a hundred times worse every day?
Please get that brainworm looked at.
Yeaaaa lol my personal view is that any powerful country pretty much sucks. But I do think its so funny how even most very lefty Americans still hold up China and Russia as the ultimate examples of evilness. Even when calling ourselves evil we have to do it by calling Russia and China evil in the same breath, as if to comfort ourselves that we're not the only one. The propaganda against those countries is truly strong here, which of course is helped by the fact that they both ARE quite problematic as any super powerful entity is
I think they have done it. For me it was the loss of a us awacs plane last month, a thing that we made fun of russia for not a few years ago. The us of a is not in a good place militarily right now, with big issues with both equipment and moral that is very much underplayed.
Good. Hope you learned that running your mouth off over things you don't understand isn't a good look.
Hey remember sending F-16s to intercept weather balloons? Imagine if Russia did that!
Not american myself, but yes those guys suck!
At this point I trust russia more than the US. Even a few months ago there at least was the semblance of a democratic system left, but by now its clear that the US is a dictatorship in all but name.
The things Putin does at least make sense from an imperialistic point of view, but trump is a literal toddler throwing a different tantrum each hour.
Both can rot in the deepest parts of hell as far as I'm concerned though.
