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!

To be fair, these particular people, they never wore the mask in the first place.
Their closets are full of starchy white hoods.
That guy's wife worked really hard on those.
All I can hear is 'criticize, criticize, criticize'!
It's mind blowing this is what passes for normal conservative conversation. In a minute and a half, they hit on:
-
Trump is a hero
-
Trump is so cool because he made racist jokes about Harris
-
It's weird that Biden would peacefully transition power to someone who plans to be a dictator
-
Bashing on trans people
-
Prosecutors should get the death penalty
-
They voted for Trump because he is a criminal
What mask? They have been open about it the whole time.
I fucking hate how I agree with Jesse Watters when he says
It's also crazy that they call this guy a dictator and when he won they're like "Oh we're gonna help you transition,"
The Republican party is done with any sort of politeness or goodwill, to the point of not conceding elections. They are breaking the system and rebuilding it in the aftermath. You can't stop them from breaking the thing by using the thing itself.
Don't worry. When the time is right (e.g. when there's some oil to be found) the USA will invade them and bring them democ.... oh....
If they do that, then the "thing" is already broken and he's succeeded
It is already broken -- and he has succeeded -- is what I'm getting at. But Democrats will still try to use the thing.
Well couldn't those prosecutors just go shoot the Fox news reporters calling for them to be killed? They all have gun rights too. They can stand their ground in self defense of death threats.
Lol we don't do that here. We just sit back and watch it happen because we're all feckless cunts, government officials and all. Jack Smith and the like will take one last whiff of his own farts smiling as he imagines himself glorious on his high horse for being Above It All™ and then the ground comes out from under him as he gets ~~hung.~~ hanged.
Edit: I making muchy good englishing
To be fair, I feel like Jack Smith was absolutely sabotaged by his boss. Garland had ZERO interest in the investigations actually going anywhere. It’s part of why he waited so long to even get started on anything, and part of why he didn’t push back more forcefully against blatantly partisan judicial bullshittery.
Wonderful Republican Merrick Garland. Literally suggested to Obama by Republicans for SCOTUS and then they gave him the finger anyway. Well they definitely got what they wanted in him. :/
Daily reminder that the moral high road is filled with corpses.
Hanged*
Sorry, everyone gets that wrong constantly and it drives me nuts
Thanks for the correction! I has big good englishing
He might also be hung you dunno
Well are we fascists or not? Get it started with a bang!
American voters say absolutely, wholeheartedly yes! 1000 times yes!
Just the death penalty? Not burned at the stake or hung and quartered?
The trumpist crowd is much nicer than expected.
See? Things aren't so bad.
Jesse Waters has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen
I, like many others, are vowing to throw up on Jesse Waters shoes. Join the movement. ✊
💯
Death penalty? For, uh, what?
Opposing Dear Leader, nothing more and nothing less.
Full embrace on the rabid polar bear, is it? They’re not even going to pretend.
Can I at least have Christmas before it begins?
Why are you trying to cancel Christmas to begin with you monster? The fake celebration of Jesus' mom lying about adultery to avoid getting stoned, overridden by capitalism, is our new christian state's most important holiday.
You left out the ubiquitous shitty, brain-dead music.
All year round
they better flee if they haven't already. we're the new Russia!
Because of the old Russia
Miserable fucking toady looking for a job in the Trump administration.
