Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Despite everything, Márquez Duany doesn’t blame Trump.

And this is what everyone who keeps hoping magats will turn on trump once he screws them over enough needs to understand. They'll never turn on him. No matter what he does, no matter what kind of negative consequences they suffer. It will never be trump's fault in their minds. They are not capable of forming that conclusion.

IOW, we (and especially Dem. politicians) are the ones who need to face reality and accept that what we need to win here is an all-out battle for power, not a debate, not a negotiation.

“If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump,” he says. “He’s the strongest president when it comes to Cuba.”

This dude is married to an American citizen, worked at a Christian school, and will be in a Cuban prison cell in less than 30 days' time.

But he would still vote for Trump if he could.

The Cubans should send his ass to El Slavador, because he's too stupid to even be tortured by the commies.

Despite everything, Márquez Duany doesn’t blame Trump. “There are probably too many people here,” he says. “I understand trying to get rid of those who shouldn’t be here. But Trump should look at each individual case.

“Like mine.”

Ha

When individualism becomes brain rot.

Some of these folk assimilated too hard into American culture 🤣.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

There's a reason Assimilationist is a slur among some American Celts.

Gosh, I don't know whether to laugh and smile or laugh and smile.

At least the skinless cantaloupe is consistent in that his bigotry plays no favourites.

His discrimination sure does.

This one I can support.
