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!

Trump: I hate brown people and want them out of this country.
Hispanics: You've got my vote!!!
Trump: deports their family and friends
Hispanics: He meant THOSE brown people?
So what lol? Look behind you americans, I think I see a trans-athlete trying to turn your dog into a dei-dragqueen, scary.
Also, if Faux has not already started to do so, I expect them to be showing b-roll of "caravans" that are "heading for the border", just chock full of black/brown hordes - mostly all young men - coming over the border and heading right for PEORIA, PEOPLE!
"They're tranzzzing the dogs. They're tranzzzing the cats."
Seriously, that dumb bitch Megyn Kelly when she was on Maher, before the election, said trans was her #1 issue.
#1 issue. I mean, what percentage of people are we talking about? And that's her #1 concern? You have to be a special kind of stupid....
Polling only matters if elections are free and fair.
What do unpopular fascist leaders do (think: Putin)? Start a war.
Be afraid, very afraid.
My prediction is a war with Iran starting in about a year, to boost GoP poll numbers before the midterms.
Wow. Bet this'll make him change what he's up to.
Bet this'll make people reflect on their voting habits too. Right?
Right!?
The GOP could reincarnate Hitler, run him in 2028 under the slogan "I'm going to start WW3 and murder billions of people"... and at least 30% of Americans would vote for him.
"Murder billions of those people". Then a large part of his support will be people who don't realize that they were part of the "others" all along.
"It's still better than a democrat!"
Probably worried about his prospects for a third term.
If he gets a third term, it won't be due to any election, so why should this matter?
Zombie Jill Stein will come to his rescue
11% of Trump supporters who voted for him in the last election disapprove of him, according to this PEW poll. Honestly more than I thought but who knows how easily Republicans could get them back given their megaphone of misinformation diales up during election time.
Wake me up when he's actually underwater.
It's been what, less than half a year and the shine has already worn off him? If anything good could possibly come from this complete trash fire of an executive maybe it will finally convince some voters that the Republicans aren't actually working for them.
The shine hasn’t worn off a bit. He’s polling pretty much exactly where he’s been throughout this presidential run; in the 44-46% support.
Almost half the country still supports him, and loves him, tariffs, destroying the constitution, and all.
maybe it will finally convince some voters
Lol. Lmao, even. That was a smile I needed this dark and dreary day, wry though it may have been.
Yep. Too many toxic males and females that have adopted the same mean girl shit are way too tied up in the identity of being complete assholes. Doesn't matter the peak the cognitive dissonance in their heads reaches between realizing that trying to "own the libs" is going to harm themselves, what are they going to do, puss out and vote for Democrats? Perish the thought.
You underestimate their stupidity.
And just plain nastiness. People actually vote with the goal of harming other people. Imagine that mindset.
3 fucking awful months.
Hasn't even been the bullshit "first 100 days!" the media loves talking about.
If Trump's presidential term were a week, we'd be about 10 hours in. There's a long way to go until Wednesday.
damn ratios.
And that's why he's not planning to have another fair vote.
Ok. Wake me up when it leads to meaningful change.
I prefer calling him "34" but in this case I'm willing to call him "45."
That would only matter if you had a democracy. You voted to end democracy, remember?
They told me when I was a kid: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Expect even more crazy performative nonsense from him. Like wandering around the lawn talking about flags, FFS.
