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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Please stop sharing yahoo links as news. It's complete junk. Let's keep the quality here better than this.
So it reflects America pretty well then
With what? Buzz the islands with some over-tired and exausted soldiers without any weapons because your dumb pedo ass wasted them trying to impress the Iranians?
If they bring that Aircraft Carrier from the Middle East over to the Falklands I'm pretty sure all the sailors will jump overboard and swim to the islands to claim asylum.
The Falkland Islands, population about 3000 or so, would suddenly find itself one of the few territories in the world capable of deploying an aircraft carrier.
as an incentive to hit Nato's 5 per cent spending pledge.
For fuck's sake! The previous 2% was already FAR too much to waste on enriching the world military industrial complex and now they want to increase it by 150%?! 🤦🏻
Don's buddies want payback for the money they invested in him.
What a loser
I guarantee that’s a Playskool phone in the thumbnail, just painted black to trick Trump into thinking he’s a big boy
"The cow called me last night. Big cow, strong cow, beautiful cow. It was crying on the phone, begging, pleading with me. 'Mr President,' it said, because it respects me just like everyone else, except for the phony dumocrats and the Spanish. 'Please Mr President, the cow goes moo!'
"I said, 'I don't understand what you mean, Mr Cow.' The cow goes moo? Why is he talking in third person? That's my thing, you know? What's he talking about?
"And you know what it said back to me? It said 'the cow goes moo for you, Mr President, because you're so strong and handsome and successful. And you have such big manly hooves and such a smooth neck that doesn't look like a vagayna at all!'
"I said 'thank you Mr Cow. When my beautiful bunker ballroom opens up you should come over and chew on some cud.' But then I had to hang up because Natalie came in with my Baby Mum-Mum biscuits and my sippy cup of warm milk."
Way too coherent
I can't understand how people can listen to him going on about how there's a B in dumb and take him seriously at all.
A new Falklands conflict was not something I was expecting in 2026.
It would be over before it began. Falklands are more heavily defended now and Argentina still has the same "capability" as it did the first time round.
GO GET NORIEGA WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.
