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!

It always almost reads like the rant of a toddler, certain points, like when he goes Y'ALL GO TO HELL! ( Edit: I'm phrasing here ) I think he screams out in real life all the words he writes in capitals, while writing the rant.
Even the way he lists all the "bad people" throughout his rant, it's all in all pretty infantile, but also petty and fucking creepy. It's so unreal.
When he was in office, I had a chrome extension that changed the font of all his tweets to look like a toddler wrote them in crayons. Reading it that way made the font match the message and helped soften the existential crisis.
Early on in his term, I wrote a grease monkey script that changed “fake news” to “fake hair”. But then dumped chrome and didn’t copy it over. The crayon font is a great idea too.
I dont suppose you grabbed a screenshot of one? Although I'd understand not wanting to post it. It just sounds hilarious.

The extension was called Make Trump Tweets Eight Again. It was based on a bit from Stephen Colbert.
Amazing, ty.
It's also a horrid run on sentence. I'm no English teacher, but I want to grab a red pen and start correcting the whole thing. It might save time to just cross the entire thing out and write a big F across Trump's forehead. It can stand for both Fail and Fascist!
I was an English TA for 3 semesters, and the urge to unsheathe and wield the Red Pen of Pedantry was strong during his term. Ultimately, it was going to be a never-ending battle, so I just gave up.
It's interesting the parallels between Trump and Alex Jones. Both now have their empires on the chopping block for things they've said, and both are behaving in much the same way.
