United States and the Americas

News and politics from North and South America.

'United States and the Americas' board guidelines

When posting in the news and politics boards please bear the following in mind:

  • Do not post (or link to sites containing) graphic or violent images or videos
  • Do not post hate speech, racist or racially motivated material, links, articles or views.
  • Avoid copying and pasting entire articles - only quote a snippet and then link to the rest.

Please be aware that the news and current affairs boards are provided as a casual platform for the discussion of mainstream news stories. Racially inflammatory topics, as well as politically inflammatory topics designed to stoke hate or a divisive left vs right "civil war" mentality, are liable to be closed without warning.

Note: Due to recent events in the US, comments and/or discussions promoting Trump's claims of electoral fraud should be avoided. 

Note: The 'US Politics' board has been discontinued and all the topics have been merged into this one which will now serve as the home of all US news and political discussion on the forum. As always we ask that members please avoid inflammatory political rhetoric and personal attacks.
