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!

MODERATORS
I hope they give the moderator power to cut off mics ....
But part of me thinks that networks want Trump to run his mouth because a shit show like that brings viewers
That's why this country is falling the fuck apart
well that and the tax cuts that Reagan implemented knowing full well that trickle-down economics were a fraud.
and regulatory capture of most of your institutions
and the loss of local manufacturing jobs (which are actually starting to come back) and the increased acceptance of nazism/fascism by people whose parents and grandparents fought against those very ideologies
but mostly because the increasing divide between rich and poor is not being condemned but rather celebrated by the same anxiety-inducing media that drools at the thought of the aforementioned shit-show.
America, you could do so much better. You just don't. It's so goddamn disappointing.
Listen: your neighbours love you, your friends love you, but you're doing terribly. It's really really hard to talk to you about it because when you get defensive holy fucking shit you can be difficult to deal with. You keep telling everyone that you're the greatest (you tell yourself that most of all) and you do it so well and you believe it so intrinsically, that you've become blind to your own problems. You're supposed to protect the weak and the vulnerable, and yet you've decided that people with no power aren't worth your time, or your effort, or worth anything at all. That's not a nation, it's abuse. It's a crying shame.
Do Better.
