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!

If you voted for Trump you voted for hurting people. This is what you voted for.
The fuck it’s not.
Sorry to inform you idiots...
It's exactly what you voted for and you knew it (but ignored it) at the time... And, you did it anyway.
🤡 🖕 💩
"We thought he'd only hurt the people we don't like."
"We thought he'd just get rid of the minorities that aren't me, the evil transgengars and queers that are ruining society."
i dunno, i feel like if you're the child of parents who fled a dictatorship, then you have even less of an excuse for being ignorant and not listening to everyone downright screaming that trump would do all the wrong evil illegal shit he's done.
and as usual, trump supporters only get mad when it's something that affects them personally
no fucking sympathy. go fuck yourself
The narrative, as I understand it, is that the dictatorship they fled is the left, so left bad, right good. Doesn't matter that the political "left" in the US is center-right.
It's brain-dead tribalism all the way down.
“This is not what we voted for,” state Sen. Ileana Garcia said in a statement Saturday.
Yes, yes it is. Trump was actively campaigning on doing exactly this throughout his entire campaign. This is exactly what you voted for.
“I have always supported Trump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane.”
Why? Because it affects your people now? You just admitted you were supporting him when he was doing unacceptable and inhumane things to other people. Sorry, I feel no sympathy for you. You got exactly what you voted for. While I am against Trump's deportations, I will shed no more tears for you when you are the one forced on the same train that the person you voted for is forcing everybody else on.
Go fuck yourself.
lmfao it absolutely fucking is what you voted for
Jesus tapdancing christ, what a daft bint
Idiots
I find it really hard to feel sorry for these people. On one hand, it's awful what's happening to them, but on the other
"This is not what we voted for"
Yes, the fuck, it is!
My message to Garcia?
Yes. Yes you did, you stupid cow. This is exactly what you voted for, Garcia. Lock, stock, and barrel. You are a fucking moron and now, only as the leopard eats YOUR face, do you realise how stupid you were.
You voted for this. 100%. Now fuck off and take it while we try to reverse the slide into authoritarianism you voted for. Maybe next time you won't be so fucking stupid!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Yes you fucking did dipshit.
Go fuck yourselves. YOU VOTED FOR THIS SHIT. TRUMP FUCKING TOLD YOU WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO.
