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!

I have to laugh because all the Tone Police were out there telling Democrats that they were being insensitive to talk about the facts related to the economy, specifically in 2024. I mean, holy shit, I guess the Democrats were not supposed to talk about the economy that was the envy of the world?
Ever since donnie's "win", I'm watching donnie's bootlicks - like Kevin Hassett, grinning while talking about killing tons and tons of jobs and claiming it's about "waste, fraud, and abuse" (they all repeated that mantra over and over and over early in 2025 especially during the height of "DOGE's" blatant criminal acts. It was like watching an actual cult trying to sell their wares).
And just recently, I saw that dumbass Scott Bessent talking about how the economy was like an emergency room victim that was "backed over by a truck" and that they - this is the donnie administration, mind you - had to stabilize the victim, etc.
LOL. In his analogy, the people in that truck backing up over the economy was himself and everyone in this stupid administration.
But the fucking balls on these assholes. If voters are pissed, they fucking should be. Everything is way more expensive. Gas is ridiculously surging, again. And to sit there and imperiously blame all their bullshit on Biden? FUCK YOU.
Also, I'd love to know what all the Murc's Law media Tone Police are saying right now about how these Republican jagoffs are talking about how the "golden age" when it comes to economics. If anything, I'm sure they spend most of their time lecturing liberals on civility.
I remember the gaslighting and guilt trips from establishment Dems immediately after the 2024 elections, even though I held my nose and voted Harris. I immediately railed against the DNC for their corruption and competence and the Reddit neoliberal echo chamber dog-piled me immediately.
