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!

And even that's bullshit, his approval rating dropped to 34% last term. These guys can't even look up a Gallup poll on Wikipedia...
Every time I see headlines like this I think:
He told us he would ruin it. For months. He signed the plans to ruin it weeks ago. He's been organizing teams of people to fuck it up starting a few days ago. Canada has been not only openly reporting on this as a major issue but even going so far as to run advertisements on Fox News informing people about it, but people only start to fucking notice it after the fact, like this really blindsides the majority of Americans!? Buffoons!
I mean isn't this pretty much how people are now? Refusing to heed any warnings until it's too late. Complaining that everything sucks after ignoring said warnings, and then instantly forgetting anything ever happened the millisecond the trouble passes.
As a Canadian it is god damn terrifying. I can't imagine what it's like to be a US citizen under the control of a dictator right now. Watching your fellow citizens be sent to death camps along with lots and lots of other people just unfortunate enough to be brown, tattooed, born in the wrong place or a woman who fights for immigrant rights.
Then the racists cheer and heil Hitler.
It's crazyness but it's been brewing for a very long time. Hopefully it wakes up lots of my fellow Canadians so we don't end up in the same place you are.
VOTE!
It sucks ass bro.
straight up not having a good time
Exhausting. Trumps second term is making his first look like a holiday. It's so bad it is hard to find words to talk about it because there is just so much to talk about.
Voted for Carney from Colorado, heres hoping..
Keep your head down fellow Canadian and thank you for doing your civic duty.
He's like the snake in that old Aesop about the farmer...
"You knew what I was when you took me in."
The plan:
1 fuck everything up
2 make people mad
3 they protest
4 use pigs to incite violence
5 martial law, suspend constitutional rights
6 cancel elections
7 trump forever
Sadly the plan wasn’t much of a secret, and yet here we are :\
I’m not an American, but how could anyone convince themselves this guy was anything but an economically illiterate buffoon?
If he wanted to bring manufacturing back to the US, the worst thing he could have done is break the relationships where they get cheap resources from us Canadians and materials like rare earths first.
Now it’s a bigger hurdle than ever to manufacture in the US.
Now we’re all galvanized against the US, we can all make deals with each other in an “the enemy of my enemy” way, and everyone is divesting of American financial leverage for fear of being extorted over it.
They are the types to put all the rich on a pedestal of earned success. They just cannot wrap their heads around the idea of a rich idiot, especially an old one. It's an oxymoron to them.
It’s because of the non-stop propaganda from right wing news outlets like Fox, breitbart, newsmax, talk radio, etc, where they constantly pretend that things Trump does are somehow good. People get programmed to believe it, then go around repeating the talking points like mindless automata.
43% of people:
And the MAGA's are glad to have empty pockets as long as Trump gives them more booeymen to fear and look down upon.
I see them in news clips from your country all the time. It's crazy. Yea I have way less and stuff is more expensive but isn't he just the best. The greatest. Oh my work might shut down next week. Damn Canadians. We've been supporting them forever. He'll fix it though. He's going to make all the things that are wrong, right again. They're like zombies.
If only there was some sort of warning that could have been heeded beforehand. 🤦🤦🤦
The lowest so far.
