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!

The general consensus is that a convicted felon and sex offender and neofascist traitor should not be anywhere near the white house.
Take notice, all those Democrats that went after Trump, more than likely when Trump becomes president, he's going to ram it up their angus. And most of the country will support their demise.
You're saying Trump will go after people who opposed him politically if he gains power?
Where have I heard of things like that before...?
Germany in 1933. Which did not have a 246 year long culture of democracy and freedom like America does.
I don't understand what you're getting at here. America has been a good boy long enough that it's allowed to be a little fachy now?
America's culture and history gives us an extra layer of protection against fascism that man other countries do not have.
And how's that working out for you with people gleefully calling for Trump to punish his political rivals?
Elections are still on, latest I checked.
They tried last time to stop that being the case.
Take notice, all those tribalistic rightwing cultists who are obsessed with their feelings because they have inferiority complexes. You have a mental illness. Mature adults aren't obsessed with people's feelings. Neither yours nor mine.
As for Treason Trump, his neofascist War on Democracy is going against 246 years of American culture. Convicted Sex Offender Loser Trump picked the worst country in the world to try to take people's freedom away from them.
