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!

don't be a moron. it's going to take DECADES just to fix the supreme court problem trump and the GOP are 100% responsible for. that's ignoring literally all the other damage trump has done to american society, which will also take generations to fix, if you're being generous
maybe you could ask your beloved capitalist corporate overlords why even THEY see no fucking good coming from trump continuing his corpulent swan dive to the bottom as "leader" of this country
I don’t think the Supreme Court has a “problem”
The institution is working just as intended, arguably the only of the 3 branches.
LOL and next you'll claim to feel the same way if it were 6 corrupt liberal justices instead of 6 corrupt conservative judges
you're getting nowhere in this thread dude. but by all means, keep up your trolling practice
Im trying to engage in civic discussion, not trolling at all.
Are they corrupt because they disagree with you on legal issues or what?
They’re corrupt because they’re actively taking bribes and kickbacks?
While not ideal, this is not anything new.

but no one's kidding anyone here. you are NOT "trying to engage in civic discussion." you aren't going to actually read any of those links. your method of trolling is itself a corruption of endless socratic method questioning which leads nowhere, especially not to you making any actual statements.
it's fucking old, dude. again, you're getting nowhere in this thread
got any more stupid questions?
This is not anything new, Ruth Bader Ginsberg was handsomely provided for her entire career for example. DC is a slimy place!
Bullshit. You're trying to politely advocate for evil. What you're doing is a corrupt mockery of "civic discussion!"
