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!

I wonder what every other Republican candidate on the ballot thinks about this....
If they didn't fully support Trump and his antics they wouldn't be Republicans anymore, regardless of how some of them tell you they feel about him.
Political parties aren't like race or sexual orientation, you're not born with a political party and if you decide that you don't like the party or the person leading it, you can choose to leave at any time.
The fact that they haven't yet tells you all you need to know about how they feel about anything Trump does, blind support.
I have met people that vote republican only because their mommies and daddies, grandparents and cousins vote republican, and by golly when their kids grow up they better vote republican too. It is a family affair, like the church they have all been attending for generations.
Ironically, they've been warning about "the antichrist" forcing people to get the "mark" or they won't be able to buy or sell anything. Who do we know that wants to put his fucking name on everything?
The Christians warn about a "being" of pure evil that lies about everything and talks about how great he is for 2000 years and when he shows up, they all vote for him.
Now obviously, mythology has no place in the real world, but they certainly believe it. Kinda tells you everything you need to know about them, doesn't it?
If I made a line of butt plugs with an etching of Trump's face on the bulb and it said "I got a little Trump in me" it would sell out, mostly to Christian, Neo-Nazi, homophobic males no doubt.
You know Gavin McInnis and his proud boys would stock up.
Bonus if you have UV LEDs in it. (Call 'em UV at least)
The GOP didn't survive. It's now the MAGA party. This is the second to last step of this takeover
Oh how I wish there was a violin small enough for these fucking scumbags. The Planck Length is still too big.
If we didn’t have to live with the consequences of their actions, I would find it hilarious.
But well MAGA…
Yeah, I truly envy the aliens who get to watch from afar.
Well that’d be eight years too late.
They are in the lineup for kissing Trump's ring and couldn't be reached for comment
