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 Trump presidencies have highlighted how, effectively, the President has dictatorial power lasting from the moment he announces something until the courts get around to ruling against it , which can take from days to many months. And we have always just depended on the President to not abuse this too badly.
I mean we are glazing over the massive fact that they've controlled the house and the Senate as well. A president who doesn't would likely face immediate and harsh backlash otherwise.
Yeah we sure showed him during his first term, didn’t we?
Dems have been mostly impotent, and same to their voting base, particularly this last election. They seriously have a fetish for shooting themselves in the foot the past decade. For better and mostly worse the right has been very unified and a strong base. All that said I'm personally quite disenchanted with both parties.
My dream is a science based system in which all policies are tested to see if they increase the HDI, GDPPP, and decreasing environmental impact or some optimization of those three. Similar to science it would be in perpetual revision whenever there's sufficient evidence to infer a policy or structure is no longer operating or operating as well as another. One can dream, for better or worse nearly all nations right now are enslaved by the political beliefs of people long dead.
