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 the department of Justice... Wait.
$1 trillion oh wow. That's the amount the US national debt's interest for every 100 days.
Well we voted the world's biggest cyberbully into office, eyes wide open.
Too bad Melania's campaign didn't work...
Too bad Melania's campaign didn't work...
What's this referencing?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Best
Be Best was a public-awareness campaign promoted by former First Lady Melania Trump, which focused on well-being for youth and advocating against cyberbullying.
No, this is not the onion. The irony is unfathomable.
A trillion? That's it? That's literally the budget deficit after Trump's corporate tax cuts from 35% to 21% (18% to 11% effective) .
Repeal the TJCA
What's next?
"Starve the beast" it's a thing. They weren't joking.
Cut taxes and force government to shrink and lose power.
Maybe some better healthcare?
I'd rather musk get hacked than Andrew Tate.
His time will come.
Can have both
1 down 1 to go.
The fact that he's going to rinse NASA and no one can stop him despite the obvious conflict is wild.
That's funny from a guy who just got appointed to a made up job in a made up department.
Elon Musk is a dog shit human being...
I was right there with you until that last bit. He’s definitely a dog shit.
And a real human bean
I'd say he's just finishing his transition to being a full on comic book style supervillain, but honestly Lex Luthor would have more class than this
He's a more Stupidor Luthor
Less Luthor
This is now my official headcanon nickname for him.
I would say he is more a Mysterio than a Lex Luther.
Lately he seems more like Bizzaro to me. He has more power than anyone but he comes across as a dumb meathead now who thinks doing bad things is good so he wants to beat up all the heroes
Captain Chaos and General Disarray, in actual positions of power.
Professor Chaos
In the future Professor Chaos is a cryptobro, so this all makes sense.
The hard part is that he speaks better than most of the dumbasses. So he's the smart dumbass.
...have you ever actually seen Elon Musk speak? 😄
Of course! I'm not his target audience.
Fun* fact: Lex Luthor is short for "Lexicon Lutherson"
*but untrue
Lexicon Luther King Jr.
The Vice-President is really getting into action!
I bet nothing is cut from the hundreds of billions used to murder people around the globe and funnel money into weapons manufacturers pockets
he should be tried for mobbing. he probably won't even go because he thinks he is the real shit
