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!

this is for maga and the maga-adjacent. anything to shift focus from the truth of him being illegally shipped to a gulag. "oh, look! its a vacation". anything to distract. fox news is going to be cashing in on this all day long on perma-repeat, just like calling him a "terrorist".
maga folks are likely lost and unreachable in their hate-additiction. just keep reminding every non-maga person you know that this is a scripted trump show and the only reality is that a man was illegally ripped from his family, illegally removed from the country with zero due process and illegally sent to rot in a paid torture chamber, probably permanently. the courts all agree it was illegal and it will be illegal if/when trump continues to refuse lawful court orders.
The craziest shit is that Trump himself has admitted it, and they still refuse to believe it. I don't think anyone could ever explain to me how that even works.
I legitimately pray for a meteor to crash into this planet on a daily basis. I'm fucking done.
there is a deep schism in this country and I barely understand approximately 20% of us. the attempt to dominate by tearing down the other, the desire to craft a zero sum game where there should be bounty for all. the adoration of cruelty and greed in those they empower to hurt others.
and then I see comments here, indeed many, that give me pause on my own downward spiral. people like you who are so obviously not... them. I dont know you, but I know that you and I are likely not enemies. you and I would likely bump shoulders, literally and metaphorically, holding the line against these people. and I have reason to not give up yet. neither of us are alone.
