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!

For your convenience, all citizens have been subscribed to Xitter. It will automatically be deducted from your taxes.
Next round of elections, Le Pen wins France, Vox takes Spain, AfD establish the new German Reich, FPÖ win Austria and immediately vote for Anschluß 2.0, and the new Swedish PM is Jimmie Åkesson. Hungary remains unchanged. (Not sure if they’d bother with the Polish election, given that Russia, Germany and Hungary are just going to partition it, for old time’s sake.)
Poland now isn't the easy pickings it was in the 1930s. Anyone trying to attack them is going to face a determined and economically strong country.
They certainly learned from their history.
Given its geographic location, it needs to be the Israel/Singapore of Europe: heavily militarised, with every able-bodied adult being at least a reservist, and a double-digit proportion of its GDP going to defence, if its going to have a chance. At least if it can’t count on the US to defend it.
All citizens must tweet a pro trump message once every hour or will be turned into slave labor to replace deported labor force.
If we had a working judicial system, that would be hilarious because it would allow the average citizen to sue Twitter for hate speech and freedom of speech violations,
