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!

But will they actually hold him responsible, or let him keep doing it, like he's been treated his whole life?
Nobody will ever hold him responsible. The moment he won the election in 2024, it ceased to be a possibility. The only thing that could possibly punish him now is incurable disease.
Everyone thinks his hand is bruised from regular injections, but I prefer to think it's the first stages of an alien fungus in the process of cannibalizing his meatsuit. If at some point soon we see him with the ability to not stand like a half-paralyzed centaur we'll know the aliens are upon us. Won't matter though. We saw the last garbage actor president get puppeted around with a hand up his ass while his brain liquefied, so I can't see why Ronald McOrange won't go the same way.
Is that actually a question? No one holds him responsible. It turns out a decent part of the American system of government just kind of relied on the elected leader not being an insane demented sociopath. Everyone is just staring at each other with their jaws dropped and there's seemingly no lever to pull.
