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!

While you're at it, take a look at this beachfront property I have for sale. On Mars. Elon Musk is planning on sending one of his rockets up there soon, so you'd better get in on the ground floor on this one!
“well…I couldn’t afford this anyway” - Steve Martin, “The Jerk”
Millions of people bought that bridge.
Tariffs don’t work if you don’t produce said good in your own country, or have the capability to import it from another country that is not tariffed by yourself.
By saying that, it’s no wonder people get annoyed products get more expensive.
The problem is that not a single one of those voters will reflect on what led to them being tricked by this man and not only learn absolutely nothing, but continue to claim he’s better than anything evil other party could put up.
People who can and do actually think have been telling you that they're a dumbass idea that's ultimately only going to hurt consumers since the very first moment Trump started talking about them.
All you had to do was fucking listen.
Or just Google what a fucking tarrif is.
That's all it would take, typing 6 letters into a search engine.
These are the same people that thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall.
Fuck his base. What about all the sitouts? Feeling it yet?
I presume they’re too focused on their big win with how they saved Gaza to worry about anything else…
