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!

The Trump admin telling unpaid Treasury workers to stop photographing the demolition because it's making Trump look bad has to be the cherry on top of this shit show.
New Yorkers know he has done shit like this before
This will be 100% true if the workers are all undocumented immigrants and ICE immediately deport them when the work is done.
They wouldn't wait for the work to be done. They would let it sit unfinished and decaying as all their necessary workers were shipped to El Salvador.
Then they'd beg them to come back to train American workers
I'd sure love to see the day where anything with this asshole's name associated with it is blown up like this:
Also, the crying from the radical right wing along with the dopey centrists and "leftists" will probably be quite epic, just like it was when it came to tearing down statues of Confederate traitors and losers.
This is TERRIBLE! Obama is DESTROYING the White House what a COMMUNIST!
Oh it's Trump? Nevermind this is GREAT and MUCH NEEDED!
This isn't entirely on Dumptruck Don or his administration
The entire government and nation as a whole is complicit for just standing there and letting it all happen
What a shit show of a nation America has become
Man I’d love to hear what me, a married middle aged white guy in the Midwest who’s always voted Dem (despite it mattering very little where I am) could do to stop this.
Please tell me.
We need to show up in DC with about a million others, and forcibly remove them from office, to take back the country and ensure the government serves the people instead of just the rich.
It’s that simple, but organizing the effort is actually quite a challenge. Especially with the rich capturing all forms of social media, while simultaneously shutting down third spaces at every opportunity.
Direct action is the way - nobody will swoop in to save us, and we aren’t voting our way out of this.
Forcibly? I'm sure there are worse takes, but I just can't think of any now.
What a shit show of a nation America has become
American here.
HEY!!!!!
.........yeah, ok. Fair enough.
The house, senate, the courts and the American voters all told Trump he can do whatever he wants and now they're freaking out that he is.
now they're freaking out
Are they, though?
Y’all remember when he said “It’ll be near it but not touching it and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of”
