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!

You seem to be tired of reporting on Trump. What do you want posted? Financial stuff? Climate? Human interest?
Their comment seems more so that this isn't some wild revalation nobody saw coming, this literally almost happened on Jan 6.
I'm all for reiterating the danger that Trump and Republicans pose to our nation, but this article isn't bringing anything new to the convo, just one more voice saying Republicans will throw out democracy when things don't go their way.
Yes. So what would bring something new? Marxist philosophy? Political science?
New information about the Trump indictment, any updates on how Republicans are dealing with this, any breaks between the far right Maga and the handful of less psychopathic Republicans, any comments from congress people about the indictments
Okay. Thanks
If you’re going to be this bitchy when someone comments shit you may not like on your post- maybe you shouldn’t post.
You hurt my feelings, so I’ll just keep posting.
God I hate redditors.
I agree, have some gold.
I was never on Reddit. I’m not bitching about the comments. I’m just interested in constructive criticism about the post. I don’t take any of this personally. I’m trying to inform better.
Then why post things that tell us what we already know?
That’s what I’m trying to discern. What topics are tired, and what needs to be investigated.
Honestly, I’d be happy with just about anything not related to trump or family members at this point. There has to be news out there that isn’t trump related
Thanks
Why not?
Believe me, I'm not.
The other commenter who replied to you is correct about my curt reply; we've been living the reality of Republicans attempting to burn everything to the ground. I agree with Mary Trump, but this isn't a revelation. My comment wasn't meant to be critical of your post, more just a reaction to Mary Trump's revelation.
Okay. Can I ask what news you’re into? I don’t think I’m wrong in thinking people want more variety in their reading.
Jeez Boomer, you sure took that personally. It seemed obv he was taking to Mary Trump, not you, you egomaniac 😅
No, not personally. I’m just sensing a tone in comments that people are getting irritated with the same news cycles. Not just this comment. So, I’m curious and want to make this community better. All boomers are egomaniacs. Got any news sites you frequent?
Who's downvoting this?? It was a good response. And no, I'm a relatively new reddit transplant and that's where I got my news for the last 10 years.
Me too. I don’t care about downvotes, just informing people about what’s going on.
I downvoted because blanket statements are stupid. I will always downvote anyone that generalizes an entire group of people.
There were two statements made-
1)people seem irritated
2)all boomers are egomaniacs
Out of curiosity, which of these did you consider a blanket statement that generalizes an entire group of people??
The first was generally talking about how op felt about the vibe of comments and the second was a tongue in cheek response to me.
Hamberders, got it.
