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!

It's going to be morbidly hilarious watching the USA the next four years.
I mean laugh at your neighbors house on fire if you want but the embers are blowing everywhere.
Eh, as an Italian I had to endure years of bunga-bunga jokes and such... turns out Berlusconi was a class act compared to what you guys managed to elect.
Berlusconi let others do the job of governing...people that lined their pockets as well, but at least we're somewhat decent at actual governing compared to what Trump's second cabinet's probably going to be.
I lived through the 2008 economic crisis, they were terrible, but at least they tried to keep up appearances because they espoused the democratic process, ergo they needed to be reelected
Berlusconi isn't even mousilini to Trump's Hitler. Not even close.
The kakistocracy that is coming is like nothing we've seen in the modern era.
Time for the EU to get some safety distance from the USA
Lol.
Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump's first term is still being felt now.
The haters will downvote us for it but damn is it a good time to have a dark sense of humor. It's out of our control but its still bad to see the humor in the absurdity I guess.
I'm still holding out for 'President running the country from prison' which would almost make it worth it.
