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!

My god, such a horrible conspiracy theory... just on it's face.
LLM's have drastically improved every year. Biden was so blatently on the mental decline.
ChatGPT would have smoked trump in the 2024 debates.
I don’t understand how this guy has been on international news for decades and Americans still don’t understand how he operates and continue to take the things he says at face value.
The corporate press has been working very hard to normalise him for all these years.
I can remember all of my life the press ridiculing him for his ego and ostentatiousness, remember gold toilets, his name everywhere? I remember when it seemed like every other year he was taking another casino into bankruptcy. I remember continuously complaints where he stiffed employees and contractors, daring them to sue against his team of lawyers who would make it far more expensive than the money owed. I remember allegations of tax fraud over years and decades that somehow never got investigated.
I remember ridicule over the stupid tv show he funded to rehabilitate his image: did that actually work?
I remember the laughing the first time he wanted to run for president, and he crashed in flames as no one would take him seriously as a candidate
How did such a long history of incompetence, self-servicing corruption ever get turned around?
Short answer: social media and Russian influence campaigns.
All of it should implode somewhere, at some point, you would think.
Have you been working very hard to change that fact?
The media sanewashes pretty much every word he says and it's infuriating. Trump says stuff daily that would have ended political careers 20 years ago regardless of party affiliation.
All this tells me is that in 20 years the opposition hasn’t adjusted their tactics. Talking here about the citizens, not the elected officials you already knew weren’t going to help.
People here are really fucking dumb
