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, no. California will be forced to use its own tax dollars to fight fires and whatnot instead of sending that money to the federal pot to be doled out to the red states that hoover that shit up like a coke whore in a Columbian cartel wearhouse.
Yeah good luck to southeast states during hurricane season and Texas during Ted Cruz Cancun season
Fuck Ted Cruz.
please don't. we don't need that asswipe having children.
Too late.
Seconded
You know, now that you mention it...maybe that's not such a bad idea, eh, Donny-boy? You keep yours, we'll keep ours, and we'll see who has the better economy after.
Liberal states will get invaded and treated as foreign territories
Too bad we have most of the population, more guns, and more active duty service members.
Red states don't have shit.
They have me. A Texan who will giggle while he performs sabotage
If the giggles are Texas sized it’s legal
I salute you, sir.
Are you in a Beastie Boys cover band?
I'm Jewish, so... Yes, officer?
That checks out, I guess we can spare this one from the lox up.
What was this detainment about, then? Get me my lawyer! You're just trying to schmear my good name!
I don't have any good puns; I just want some lox'n'bagels and this seems the place to get them.
Sabotage on Texas?
Goung for the plausible deniability aspect.
Electric grid implodes It was like that when I got there, sir.
"Oh my god! They blew up WHAT???"
-massive explosion in background-
*ahem* "Oh my god! They blew up WHAT???"
As the saying goes, Steel wins battles, gold wins wars. That's why I'd bet on California.
