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!

I didn't like when he was running and didn't view fire him, but now I realize that he was the best candidate post trump. I don't think any of the other unexperienced candidates would be able to handle the cards that were dealt with.
What is Biden doing beyond what his handlers tell him to do? Did you listen to Biden's speech yesterday? It was a sloppy speech claiming support for freedom and democracy while also handing billions over to Israel to commit war crimes. Honestly, the president might as well be an AI-generated avatar. It doesn't make a difference.
Is there another country in that region that could call itself democratic?
BTW: what Israel has two weeks ago is the equivalent of US 9/11, except taking into account overall population it was even more devastating. So it is no surprise they have blood in their eyes.
Biden still is working to moderate them, for example he convinced Israel to allow humanitarian aid there.
It looks like information that is coming from Hamas is totally unreliable (for example, recent explosion at hospital turned out to be caused by Islamic Jihad, didn't hit the hospital, but parking lot and didn't kill 500 people).
You sure are trying to vomit as many talking points as you can in a single post, huh? Yeah, that Biden sure is moderating Israel, asking them to give a little bit of relief in between all the war crimes and ethnic cleansing. You're right in the 9/11 comparison, in that it was a tragedy that the government took maximum advantage of to carry out things they wanted to do all along.
