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!

The reason I know justice is dead in the world is not just that Trump has evaded his many crimes, it's that we are living a result beyond Putin's wildest dreams.

Putin's election interference in 2016 was meant to unleash a bull in America's china shop - cause a mess, distract us while we kicked out the bull, and set us back as we repaired the damage. But he couldn't have predicted that we wouldn't even kick out the bull, would begin worshipping the bull and, in an effort to make sure the bull knew who was in charge, start smashing everything ourselves.

And Putin is doing this around the world, pumping right-wing autocrats with interference and election bot farms. Can someone think of a single autocratic leader in 2024 that isn't ascendant, that isn't increasing power? It's amazing how effective he's been at making the entire world miserable.

Fellas, is it illegal to say "Kill Putin"?

Because I'm saying it.

Someone please go Kill Putin.

Make a drone or something. Add AI capabilities. Scan for his face. Fly toward him. Aim for the head. Boom.

Fucker needs to die.

And better not miss like earlier this year with one of his puppets.
