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!

Jesus Christ, Newsom, they put people in jail indefinitely with 0 due process, they aren't even charged with a crime! That's a little more urgent than the fucking tariffs!
That dude is completely focused on attacking the "real" threats: trans and unhoused people.
Pfft, he's just some guy distracting people from what's important: rich people are making slightly less money! Sound the alarm!
Not for the billionaire class, and they own the politicians.
Remember: he does not fight the tariffs to save ordinary peoples jobs or lower prices on supermarket shelves. He does this to protect the profits of the rich.
Ah, yes. Nazis opening up concentration/death camps in a foreign country and illegally shipping people off there without any semblence of due process (not that it would be legal even with due process, as death camps are illegal under the 8th amendment, not that this government cares)? Clearly that's just meant as a distraction from what the Nazis really want to do, which are tarrifs.
He's just a slimey asshole who is avoiding the question. He wants to try and keep some conservative votes when he's forced on everyone by the DNC in a couple of years, as they backstab another candidate that would actually improve things.
It's unbelievable how stupid these people are. They learned anything from Kamala losing by chasing the far right.
If he gets the nomination in 2028 then we're beyond royally fucked.
We already are.
