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!

Wonder when someone is going to anonymously donate millions to feed the starving.
And if they do, I have no doubt in my mind Trump will hold it up as an example for why we "don't need food stamps because private individuals will donate anyways" or something stupid like that.
Smart money's on when the oppressed millions might spontaneously donate some decisive, reciprocal action to specific ^flaccid locations on certain governing bodies. 🤷🏼♂️ History shows it to be statistically likely, but smart money's betting on when, not if.
Of course not. He still thinks only Democrats need them. Just like the MAGA folks...who also use them, but think they are ok because they really need it, and they'd work if they could.
"Fuck them poors" - Trump, probably
Fuck them poors' kids
FTFY 🤮
Society is three missed meals away from anarchy. I guess they’re counting on hungry masses being backed into a corner with violence as the only way out? Starving your populace is also an act of violence, so they started it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Possibly, but they could also be trying to instigate a fight. If they do then they can declare martial law and do things like suspending elections.
History tells you what happens when people get hungry.
How can they be so dumb while also having all this Project25 shit with decades of planning, and criminal masterminds like Peter Thiel giving money & advice. I honestly don't know. The only explanations I can think of are that these tech bros aren't quite as clever as they think they are, and that there's even more infighting going on than we're aware of. And that DJT uses his presidential powers to their fullest extent, like a petulant toddler, and only listens to advice when he feels like it.
Because it's like at least 3 different factions vying for control, not one monolith.
You have the religious purists who want a Christian Fascist world, you have large money groups trying to make as much bank as they can and you have Techno Fascists trying to destroy America to make techno feudalism.
The cruelty is the point!
Imagine if other countries started sending food relief to the US. The shame.
That's the best way for my wife to get me to do something that I've been putting off. She just starts doing it for me. The same is enough that I tell her to go stop, and I finish. Shame is a motivating force for normal people who aren't in a cult.
I’m finding more and more use for this lately, but…
Because they simply don't want to
