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!

Well, b comes before t in the alphabet, so it must be saving more money! Now watch them change the rules of nature/math.
"In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it."
Wait is that where the black eye came from??? Lmao
I was betting it was from Stephen miller seeing as he’s left handed, does anybody know if bessent is left handed too? lol
Unless someone has seen Miller with a cast on, it wasn't him. That limp dick Nazi would snap his wrist just thinking about hitting someone.
I again challenge Stephen Miller to a cage match to the death
I would hope even Ferret Face Miller could give a better black eye than that piddling shit Elonazi is sporting...
Waiting to find out that he actually was slapped/hit by a woman somewhere along the line. 🤷♂️
He probably just fell into something while on drugs.
This is the real reason Musk is getting booted from the administration: Trump hates a loser, probably especially a loser who got his ass beat by an openly gay Ivy league graduate. That must hit all kinds of sour notes for these misogynist and homophobic fucks.
It would be hilarious if these guys were to kill each other.
I imagine the "altercation" to be like the one Peter Griffin had with Trump 🤣🤣🤣
We've all made ChatGPT create the Celebrity Deathmatch clips
Now where know where the black eye came from
Bannon has a person vendetta with musk because he's insanely jealous. Bannon will spill the beans.
He wants to be in the inner circle again.
Bannon is in the MAGA faction and Elon is (or was) in the rival Billionaire faction.
Good point. Totally agree.
Bloated white slapfight
Bannon is not to be trusted. He's just starting shit imo. If that was real, musk would have made a huge fucking deal about it.
Musks pride wouldn't allow him to acknowledge the fight if he lost, he is the type to quietly tell himself he won but not acknowledge it externally. You see it with Neo-Nazi trolls like him pretty frequently, they talk shit till they get hit then they go cry to the cops. The main difference is that usually they don't get punched by their own, though Musk is probably more insufferable in person.
Someone who looks like Elon getting physical with anyone is sorta wild. Many 62 year olds could curb stomp him without breaking a sweat. Surprised Trump didn't hire his mom to babysit him like she did against Zuckerberg, who would have broke him in half.
I hope musk shuts down X in retaliation.
Quick reminder that if we're hearing it from Bannon, there's an agenda being pushed, and it'll be in Trump's best interests. Nice to hear about infighting, though.
Is that why Musk was walking around with a black eye?
Elon ran into a door.
