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!

Welp another university turned traitor.
As a Maryland grad, fuck UVa and their cardigan wrapped shoulders, but as an American, this is another nail in democracy’s coffin and I wish things for people that should not be written in words.
Well this is terrifying
Yep. I do take comfort in the fact that the student protesters were heard to chant, “Death to tyrants." You can bet that will turn Trump up to 11even though it is the state motto, more or less.
Sic semper tyrannis more accurately translates to "thus always to tyrants." Since it supposedly originates with a statement by Brutus over Ceasar's fresh corpse, the meaning is quite clear. I'll give the students an A- on the translation. I mean, hey, who takes Latin language classes these days anyway?

So who is the new president? I’m hoping it’s someone with strong liberal roots.
I would prefer someone with a solid moral center.
They will be MAGA approved. Probably someone from Fox News, or perhaps some MAGA donor's son who recently got their GED.
No women or minorities need apply.
