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!

Calling it now.
2026 with the economy in free fall and the Republicans about to be voted out of office, he will make his move to fully seize control and declare martial law to stop elections.
The moves they are talking about will absolutely destroy the economy and plunge us into the abyss.
Man I beat you to that by at least a month.
I guess the positive is that if the economy is that fucked they might not have the money to resist the guillotine crazed hordes. Personally I think an ill measured rope would be the best method
That won't stop the Y'all Qaeda dumb fucks from doubling down and voting in a republican super majority in the house and senate.
or another financial crash/bailout in 5-10 years
I'm looking at the positive side of societal collapse. If there are no banks, then I don't have to pay my mortgage.
Worst case. Inflation eats the mortgage until it's just chump change.
Don't worry, someone will buy that debt from the bank. You'll still get to pay.
I don't care anymore, let it crumble.
I understand the sentiment, but believe me: with a crumble of that scale, you will definitely start caring.
