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!

Well as long as he gives it his all between 5am and 8pm...
🙄
Thats more than normal working hours. Only Boebert gives her all after 8pm
He's the president. It's not a fucking 9-5.
What an asinine way to justify his bed time.
I mean, if shit gets fucked up because the president is sleeping, I'd argue that some things that should have been delegated weren't rather than it being a problem that the president sleeps. If he stayed up until 1am, what if something big happened at 2am?
The whole "what would Hillary do if she got a 3am phone call" thing was dumb. If there's an attack, it should be military people determining the immediate course of action and the president weighing in for the longer term response. Presidents should handle strategic response, not tactical response.
There's more than a few things, both military and civilian, that can only be authorized by the President themselves. The Authority cannot legally be delegated to inferiors. You're arguing that the Presidency should be able to do whatever it wants and that's just not how it works.
Then either wait for the president to authorize those actions or, if it's urgent, wake the president up.
Using nukes is a strategic decision, including whether to allow the use of tactical nukes.
The tactical decisions I'm talking about are pretty much the military following their rules of engagement for whatever the situation is in the moment.
Trump was work’n that 10am-2pm
If golfing is working, yes.
I mean fuck Trump but that dbag was up tweeting all night long, passing out at the keyboard mid rage-tweet.
If dicking around on social media counts as work, I'm owed a lot of overtime.
I’m pretty sure they were making a snide comment regarding sexual stuff. Not literally the job.
5AM to 8PM is also not a 9-5...
Also it was mostly to make a Boebert joke, I didn't say anything controversial
LOL at the Beetlebert reference...
FTFY
