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!

First, Hunter Biden has to go to jail, ten we see if we have time for other things. Fat people cheering in the background
I feel like I've capped out on being angry at all of this violence and suffering spewing out of the US lately. I touch grass regularly, but it's hard to keep track of it all, you know.
Fully understand that the feeling I have a hard time keeping myself informed and positive at the same time. I try to limit myself to just checking news 2 times a day in a short period. And I also keep myself occupied by playing old video games of mine.
I get the sentiment of some to be all "tHeY'rE mAd AbOuT aN aPp, NoT bOmBiNg CiVilIaNs!" but we've been bombing civilians for 25 years now, while the Signal controversy is new. You can (and should) be mad about both things but right now we need to recognise that the Signal scandal is giving us leverage on both sides on the aisle to move against this administraion.
We'd be fools not to lean in and leverage this moment
we've been bombing civilians for 25 years now
Time flies, I’m sorry to tell you but you’ve been bombing civilians for quite a few more decades than that.
Yes, but I was making rough reference to our current posture on the middle east (quarter-century, war-on-terror) which I felt was an appropriate start point to the current discussion
"We can tolerate gleefully discussing the murder of civilians on a war operation using a commercial messaging app on your personal phones, but we draw the line at slightly disagreeing with Trump"
How does he obstruct Trump in a "private" communication with Trump toadies? Are they saying he was the only one who knew a journalist was there, despite not being the one who invited him, and took the opportunity to make the administration look bad by making himself look bad, knowing the conversation would eventually be released?
It legitimately hurts my head how imbecilic these people are.
the infighting and canabalizing really can't happen soon enough at this point. I want that whitehouse looking like Real World 3
Frankly, I don't think infighting is enough ... a huge riot is required, doesn't matter which side or in what form but it has to be an enormous thing that makes it permanently prohibitive to continue on the current path. If it is not then they just replace one unwanted idiot with the next in line...
Oh ya sorry... this is strictly a longing for vengeful entertainment. no other political goals in this thought.
Anything less than full throated support of the dear leader might as well be treason
These fucking twats are treating Trump like a king. That's because they think they'll be the lords of the land. Little do they know, they are about as useful to Trump as the next pair of Depends.
Every single disgusting republican traitor must be held to account.
I'm guessing they want him as a lightning rod.
Maybe, but they also need an heir apparent if dear leaders third inauguration is blocked by something as silly as the Constitution, or if dear leader somehow doesn’t live forever. He wants to stand out as a “strong, independent leader” just as capable of fulfilling Putin wishes and further enriching his corporate owners
Watching peoples homes and shops get destroyed in the bombings and then seeing this is a recipe for rage. America deserves its collapse.
This is so egregious a violation of national security and government security policy that we’re not even discussing whether it was appropriate
And this makes it even worse, complaining about a mildly dissenting opinion, not the breach of security, not a bunch of yahoos who think they are above security and ethical policies, and not talking about a proxy war halfway around the world
Honestly I see it as manufactured consent in 2025. Controlling the narrative via framing the controversy for us before it becomes news.
