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.

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!

Killing your own border bill, pending government shutdown, trying to surrender Ukraine to KMart Stalin…. This all seems less than wise.
KMart Stalin made me laugh way to hard. Im stealing that one, thanks.
If only they were motivated by wisdom instead of gut feelings and fear.
It’s mostly greed. The gut feelings and fear are just for the plebs who elect them.
They had a campaign message?
Yeah. It was "please like me"
No it was "we hate the same people"
I swear it was "blow trump with extra throat -lady g"
No it was whatever Trump said
Don't forget the failed attempt at impeaching Biden, via his son.
And the failed attempt at impeaching the DHS director.
They did fail, but then succeeded in impeachment. For no actual reason.
Their message is "don't people who are different than you freak you out?!?!". Simpletons, grifters, and losers. That's all they've got left.
It doesn't matter though, as long as they keep screaming "Libs bad" loud enough. Nothing else matters to their idiot followers.
Trump’s golden shoes have already sold out, the nation is doomed

EDIT: Also his most recent legal obligation was 400 million and 1000 $400 pair of shoes were sold in hours, everyone keeps calling trump dumb when he’s a very real threat to democracy as we know it
He can be both dumb and a threat to democracy
?
Do you think that covers the debt, or...
Please clap.
The gop ~~’s campaign message~~ is falling apart
Fellating an orange tinted manchild isn't much of a message.
The article:
The plan was simple: Hammer Biden on two of his greatest weaknesses—the economy, and immigration.
While inflation continues to be a voter concern, it’s been far less of an issue in the United States than in other developed countries. Biden and the Federal Reserve’s policies seem to have constrained inflation, not exacerbated it. The recession that economists predicted for years never materialized...
Instead, Democrats have made a very different political calculation. They’ve spent the last few months arguing for a crackdown at the border, trying to nullify one of the GOP’s main talking points.
“The problem that America confronts is that House Republicans had been ordered by Donald Trump not to do anything to address the challenges at the border,” Jeffries said. “That’s shameful.”
Democrats plan to blast that message—that Republicans are too busy doing Trump’s bidding to actually solve a problem—to anyone who will listen in 2024.
The rachet effect in full swing I see
They have a message?
Blue team bad, grr
Pay wall. Please post archive links.
Edit: https://archive.ph/ is a good way to help out.
Please post archive links
Yup, agreed. I’d just like posters to get in the habit of putting this in their post body.
MAKE AMERICA DEGRADE AGAIN!
The number of times I've had Trump supporters say something to the effect of "You just don't want to hear the truth. That's why you won't let the Nazis have a say" is exactly why they are having a hard time getting a lot of people on board with their policies. Sure, a lot of people in the South and the Midwest will be glad to go buy some new Doc Martin's and a new Hugo Boss outfit, but the question nobody seems to be asking is, "Why are the Christians so prone to jumping onto the Nazi bandwagon?"
