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.

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.

They will receive justice. Otherwise the US is just a failed state.
Name one president who has received justice for criminal acts in the USA in 250 years.
What was does not need to be what will be, things can change. If we somehow claw things back from the fascists I, for one, will be screaming from rooftops if the Trump crime family is not imprisoned entirely or forced to run somewhere like Russia.
True. 🤷♂️🤷🤷♀️
US has been a failed state for a long time. It's just that Americans wouldn't see it. Any attempt to talk about corruption and dangers of 2 party system (and both parties have same owners) was always met with ridicule and chest beating. I suppose decades of propaganda that never stopped did its thing. And now those same people are asking me what are they supposed to do, because there is nothing they can do (according to their own words)? Always fucking victims. Same people that bragged about 2nd amendment and their heroism and freedoms are now victim tweeting all day long. And they think that is resistance. They can't handle the thought of losing their comfort(s).
America is a country of cowards now. And it didn't use to be.
I always used to say that US' biggest export was corruption. It still is.
Remember that if you criticize the Democratic party and don't 'vote blue no matter who,' you're a Russian operative undermining the US election process. It's not that you have a fully functional brain and see both sides are actually all on one side. Russian operative. Only option.
/s, fucking Americans
America is 100% a country of selfish cowards.
