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!

He's a lying, narcissistic, fat sack of shit with the mental horizon of a 3 year old. People mistake that as confidence and professionalism.
I don't understand either, and it worries me that someone as patently fake as Trump can dupe 50% of the electorate - what hope when there's an actual firebrand populist who's not a lifetime fraud comes along to drag the party further to fascism?
we're lucky the fascists have trump and desantis in the lead, tbh.
It's easy to understand. Because votes. People just adore and worship him because he will enact revenge and retribution on perceived and targeted enemies who are allegedly making their lives miserable, rather than being exploited by corporate America, making bad life choices, and/or following their nationalist, racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic ideology which distorts reality. You support Trump, you get his knuckle-dragging horde of idiot voters automatically, with little to no effort.
"Russian hookers" being a Czech and Slovene. You just triggered the entirety of Eastern Europe.
Same shit really.
You do realise it's like saying that Swedes and Germans are the same? Or Spaniards, Italians and the French? Just because they belong to the same family of languages doesn't mean they have much else in common.
Not really, those countries have their own unique histories and cultures.
Jk jk.
But they are like the same shit.
Although I will say it being the same shit in no way gives any of these countries any right or authority to try and conquer any of the others. They aren't literally the same.
You know, 10 years ago I might have said Ukraine and Russia were the same shit, but would never have meant it in such a way as to undermine either country's inherent right to self determination, free of belligerent neighbors. I just mean the hookers from each place are the same shit.
Because his base is dedicated and significant in numbers. If the other republican politicians lost that republican bloc, they won't win elections.
