Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP's commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.

Don't worry she'll find a way to blame Obama

They’ll blame Barack Harris for the crumbling of the US while the republicans dismantle it actively in front of them, while they point at the democrats for letting it happen.

Nobody would ever fall for that... *Glances at Texas

They’re already doing it. More than half the United States’ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what he’s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. They’re lying right now, and they’ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And we’ll accept it, if not believe it.

Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

to which they'll even blame for that "him/her" pronoun they'll use.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Haha I was honestly debating what to use there.

Once she gets her benefits slashed be sure to talk about how great the Republicans are and isn't she glad she got what she wanted with her vote? Thank goodness trump got rid of that pesky public assistance, that was costing the rich real money.

I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they've lost, "tough shit, you specifically voted for this"

Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
