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!

How does the US ever recover from this clown show?
Whatever credibility, honour, dependability, integrity, or decency it had, has been systematically thrown out the window and steamrolled Worldwide.
No matter who comes next, the whole thing is irreparably tarnished now.
A month or two of normalcy will make people forget about all the brazen bullshit happening now. I just hope we get there.
Americans yes. With Biden I was so happy I didn’t have to wake up every morning to see what bat shit crazy thing the president had said the day before.
The rest of the world… and the fact we fucking did it twice no less… it’s gonna take a decade or more to trust us again. Maybe more.
Replace “decade” with “generation”. At least a generation or more. I know I’m going to be teaching children that America is a no-go zone.
Don’t blame you. If shit doesn’t change I may very well leave. And I have a distinct feeling it isn’t going to change.
I hope we do not forget about all the crimes involved and that everyone involved in this crime family and maladministration is hounded by the legal system and given proper punishments, though.
We got 4 years of relative stability and recovery with Biden but Americans quickly forgot the reason they moved away from Trump and thought they needed to go back to the racist pedophile kleptocrat dictator because "Sleepy Joe" and "muh economy". I'm not at all confident the US can recover because this country is determined to go fascist one way or the other.
I sincerely hope you are right.
We don't. All empires fall, this is our turn. Hopefully what comes next is better.
