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!

Good good let the hate flow through you.
Daily reminder that it's always a good idea to tweet Trump with messages like "why aren't your ideas as good as <insert scumbag here>?"
Get them in the habit of tearing each other apart and we can keep them occupied for most of the next 4y.
How many Scaramuccis will elon last?
I mean, at the moment we're still in the negative Scaramuccis, so there
The president has a 4 year term
Every President needs a first fancy lad, Donnie.
An X-wife if you will.
It IS President Musk.
So, if musk does become speaker of the house, he also is 3rd in the line of succession.
He's foreign born. He can't legally be president... unless someone changes the US Constitution.
When you’re a billionaire you just pay your $134 million and play a fossilized dumb shit like Donald Trump, no need to change the constitution.
Cater to his ego. Invite him to a very special interview on social media. All so you can futz around with the government to make even more money for yourself.
Again, no need to change the constitution. Just manipulate Trump instead.
The Constitution has changed many times

But, now that presidents can not be charged for "official" acts, who knows?

Surely the leopard won't eat my face!
I think this is hilarious. I wonder if they have some kind of agreement that trump can't just back out of. Maybe it was a handshake deal and he's just now getting annoying enough?

Looks like we found (again) his weak spot. Take his power away, and he freaks out.
Also his head and neck are typically exposed.
And bright orange, like a target.
Oh, this is fantastic. A group of individualists will never function cooperatively
I'm optimistic that trump has built a pool of piranhas to jump into on January
These men will only be broken through their ego. I had a feeling this was coming, but I thought it would take longer.
I guess donvict better keep that "Truth" "Social" scam running for a while, because he's going to need a platform to bleat on about Elmo when he gets pulled from Xitter.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Trump
Who? Not ringing any bells.
Lmaoooooooooooo eel on musk played himself 😂
While I do want this to be true it doesn’t sound like he’s pissed more just damage control
Tee hee.
