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!

And whoever that fuckung prick was on the show clearly still defends Trump and says he has the intuition? This dude bankrupted four casinos. Just die already
I sometimes have this weird fantasy where Trump is an actual genius, and his plan all along was to destroy the Republican party. I imagine him sitting on the crapper with a McDouble in one hand and his phone in the other, trying to come up with the most insane tweets he can, getting frustrated that his plan is taking so long and thinking to himself "why are these people liking this shit? It's obviously bat shit crazy!"
Then I come back down to this Hellscape reality and sigh as I accept that the world is just full of stupid, greedy, selfish people, and Trump is an avatar for all the worst human impulses, and that tens of millions of people would gladly follow him off a cliff so long as they get to drag the rest of us over the edge with them.
I truly hate this place.

Yep. It also got a democrat elected 4 terms as president. Tax rates climbed up to 95+ percent for millionaires.
And you know those good times that conservatives say they want to go back to? Those times when a blue collar worker could earn enough to buy a house, pay the mortgage, support a stay-at-home-wife and family, and then send those kids to college? That's the society that those decades of democrat control led to. That's what another 60 years of democrat dominated congress could lead to again. In fact, a huge blow out election like that may be the only thing that can save, not only this nation, but maybe even the whole world, if it's not too late already.

Don't worry Rand Paul, your masters control the news and social media so it won't happen. They'll just keep a majority of people in an illusionary dream world.
Should have thought of that before hitching up to a lunatic.
I've learned that Congress has the tariff power, but has delegated it to the president. Congress can take it back any time they want apparently.

I have rarely more genuinely hoped for something in my life...
It's insane to think that the same two partys remain in control in the US. Yet they call it democracy.
- I'm referring to the voters, and their lack of action when their main party ha proven useless. The 'swing voters' never seem to swing between anything other than those two.
Good. Conservative ideology should be tossed into the flames of Mordor.
Don't threaten me with a good time, Mr. Paul.
But you'll do nothing to stop him.
