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!

I followed the link to ShitSocial so you didn't have to:
I can't believe the US voted this complete idiot in as president. Just wow.
Every time I flew back into the country and saw his stupid picture in the airport it made me cringe and say “oh fuck, that’s right, somehow Biff Tannen, from Back To The Future 2, is our President”
You have the president's face in airports?
I assume they meant on TVs or something; I was a bit confused, too.
Nope, not on TV. In JFK there was a picture of his stupid orange face and his shit eating grin up on the wall.
We truly live in the stupidest timeline.
And they're on track to do it again.
70 million brain dead Fox manure fed Americans will vote the pustulating bloated shit bag back into office.

To be fair, he lost the popular vote twice. It was only because of the electoral college he won. The people of the USA did not, as a majority, vote for him. The people who are supposed to represent our votes voted for him.
Yes, that's true and a big reason I don't paint a Americans with the same brush (in addition to this being generally intellectually lazy).
I live in New York City. Donnie was desperate to get famous since the 1980s. Back in the day, Wife #1, Ivana, was the star of the show and Donnie was the guy who carried her bags. He did everything to get his name in the local news every day, and was considered a joke by just about everyone. He lost his home town by 90% of the vote.
Growing up, I knew of him as a desperate for attention blowhard as well. You didn't need to be from NYC to know that but it says a lot when you guys did that (no votes) because you know him best.
There's an old political term in the USA. 'Favorite son candidate.' It means that anyone, of any Party, can usually count on winning their home district. As an example, Republicans in Georgia voted for Jimmy Carter. Also, New Yorkers are a contentious lot who seldom agree 90% on anything.
I love NYC. For the first 48 hours. :)
He's the embodiment of the American stereotype if you ask me. It makes complete sense.
The American stereotype? Definitely an American stereotype (monopoly guy shithead), but there’s also broke ass honky, California dude, and cowboy goat fuckers.
It’s a big place.
It's a big place and yet the loud, fat American with more money than braincells is indeed the stereotype lol.
A long time ago I had a job cooking at a hotel in Switzerland (am Canadian). As a more junior person I'd get stuck working buffet stations and lots of Americans assumed the staff didn't understand English. Anyway, my favorite thing was how the Americans would freak out because menu prices were not in US dollars. Lol. Harmless but indicative of a certain worldview.
And they are lining up to do it again. It's absolutely baffling to me but at least it's gotten a lot easier to identify idiots from a distance.
This reads like a Chinese Amazon listing where they just fire off dozens of loosely related words and key phrases to increase traffic.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your sacrifice, btw.
This is seriously unhinged.
This was already stated by the first word of the title of this post.
He is such a moron...
God, I can't even force myself to read his word shit salads anymore. I guess that means I'm sane.
