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!

Holy shit, he looks 3 minutes away from death in that picture. I admit I haven't seen the most recent pictures of him, but I don't recall him looking this haggard.
Why did Joe Biden shit my pants?
This seems to be a Trump problem, but it's really not. Trump is the undisputed standard bearer for all Republicans - each and every one of them fully supports his insanity and allows it to continue. They know they've put a literal child rapist in charge and have done nothing but protect him and everyone else in the Epstein files.
Trump's image should replace the elephant as the mascot of the GOP.
Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. That's like their defining characteristic.
Incidentally, that's almost always characteristic of a bad person. The antithesis of "love your neighbor", for example.
It's literally the definition of facism. It's what a fasces is, a group of sticks.
It's also why they're winning, we have no solidarity on our side
Your comment reminded me of a book a read a long time ago about the psychology of politics. There was a whole chapter about how Republicans find I easier to all agree with each other.

Well, had the Biden Justice Dept actually done their fucking job, Trump would be in prison right now and our munitions stockpiles would be where they should be. So sure, Biden should shoulder some of the blame.
Yeah, but not all of the blame though
In tomorrow's news, Trump discovers that someone has shat his pants, blames Biden.
Bullshit. LIES. Fake news.
We all know that Obama is the one who shits the fat orange paedos pants, and not Joe "Let's take the slowest possible way to prosecute the orange Fatboy" Biden.
Making sure I have enough missiles seems to be the kind of thing I would take care of before launching a war against military superpower but what do I know
He's always had a low missile count and an undersized launcher.
Hmm. People have described it as mushroom-like, and what to nukes cause? You may be on to something.
I don't want it, mind, you can keep it, but still. heh
Well he did think he could roll through Iran in a weekend sooooo
So just to recap, no one will negotiate with him and he's run out of sticks, so having increased the price of everything everywhere in the world that's just how things are now.
Well done Americans.
Best thing you can do is toss our diplomats out and stop trading with us. Don't even talk about our wannabe dictator.
Yeehaw! You smelling that freedom yet?
.... is what I'd say if I were one of our resident morons.
Ah luv the smell of freedumb in the mernin.
How dare Barack Obama do this.
They should arrest clinton for this outrage.
Only after Carter gets indicted.
Yeah.
The real enabler here is JFK. Someone should do something about him...
Death to Roosevelt! How dare he use all those munitions!
Thanks Obama
Wish we could fire our stockpile of worthless fucking morons instead...
There’s plenty to go around
Are you sure it's not Obama's fault?
"How did Obama the Kenyan Usurper use up all our missiles like that?"
He was hiding them all in his tan suit.
Might be FDR
The main thing to go after Biden for is not throwing this MF in Gitmo.
throw him in gitmo, then give gitmo back to cuba and let them have him.
please.
Remember his party spent all their time making sure nothing was ever sent... So every member of their party knows he's lying.
nono, for the sake of discussion, sure, man, Biden gave away munitions.
Okay. So.
Why the fuck didn't you replenish them in all the time you've been in office? Hmm?
"Costly and unpopular" doesn't begin to describe the mess he made over there.
Pulled out of Afghanistan, found the second stage reverse castle boss of 'graveyard of empires'
Of course he does. Ya ever seen him take accountability for anything at all?
Dozy Donnie says what, now?
