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!

Yeah I really think this is it. I'm sure it was another directive from Trump to get more impeachments so he can muddy the waters at the rallies. I'm a little surprised they haven't drummed up a Biden impeachment yet so he can prance around with that one too.
That's simple and evil enough that it may just work.
They just voted against the border security bill that they supported and wanted, and now they're trying to blame someone else.
Yep... Blame shifting, rationalizing unwillingness to take responsibility, strip targets of agency, and cause their base, who are children, to internalize this as immutable truth
No, he didn’t “accidentally” say the reason. He just said they’re doing it “for political vandalism and fuck you too“.
They’ve been right out front with their unfiltered racist hateful shit-for-brains garbage for almost a decade now. And yet we still see these headlines like “Oops! RepubliQan Guy Accidentally Says Deeply Offensive Thing” witha bunch of “oooooh those terrible republiQans!” comments. We are stuck. In republican hell.
If Trump doesn't win they're all going to prison. Gang of traitors can go get fucked while they're there.
Not happening, the elite don't send each other to prison. That's why trump, with his massive amount of shit he has done, is still free. You can't put one of their own up.
Makes me want to go too just to fuck with them like the movie Let's Go to Jail
Because he's from Cuba?
There are two jobs of being an elected official. One is getting elected. The other is actually governing. The GOP is failing at the second one.
Without their creative redistricting and voter suppression policies, they would be failing the first as well
And many of them need to cheat in an already broken system to achieve the first one
Always wanted to ask but isnt the entire fruit and vegetable market basically run by migrants? Whos gonna do that work? Most definitely wont be trumpers (gopers). So thats going to be interesting.
Yes, the agriculture and service industries would be devastated. Our economy would suffer. Maybe that needs to happen to get it through some people's head?
Doubt they would see the connection. They will probably blame lgbtq or something
I've heard this on some radio show a while ago. The farm owners know that people will get it no matter what, they don't care. What they care about is how much control they will have over them when they get here. Fear creates complying.
That's easy! We only give 'real americans' food. There will be plenty. /s
Hell in a handbasket.
