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!

He spent a bunch of time yelling “America first” to his base and telling them that we can’t support, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc because we need to spend that money at home. And now they’re onboard.
As much as he’d love to paint the democrats increasing pressure on Bibi as “supporting terrorism,” his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
They clearly don't... otherwise they wouldn't be voting for the person who wants to spend it all on himself.
The like the idea of it. They’re not actually going to get that though.
Yup, Republicans are stuck in a conundrum: they've successfully sold fiscal responsibility and inward focus to their base, but that same base has been sold this idea that there's a chosen people who are entitled to the holy land. Well now they have to choose. I hope they choose the former.
I think there's a good chunk of Republicans who still support Israel at all cost, but I think the realization of what's happening over there is eating away at that steadily. I think America's support for Israel is slowly coming to an end.
Chosen people, are you frickin kidding me? Do you know how much land the Arabs have (Palestinians are mostly Arab)? Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The Jews ask for one little plot of land and suddenly everybody starts crying genocide. What the hell happened to all the native Berbers in northern Africa?! All because some random guy claimed they were the illegitimate descendents of Abraham ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"The Arabs" are as much one people as "the Europeans", let's just give Italy to the Roma people and demand that Norway take them all in.
The Jews didn't ask. Look, I understand acknowledging conquest and the reality of the world, but to pretend that the conquerors are the good guys while it's happening... Don't be naive. See it for what it is.
