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!

Oh, one more thing that comes to mind every time I see donnie diapers hawking his stupid wares to slack-jawed yokels. I'm reminded of "Bob". It's like someone took some of the satire of the Church of the Subgenius and made it a real thing. To wit, here are some famous quotes from "Bob":
I mean, all of the CotS was about making fun of cults and religion, but...donnie's cult looks not that much different, except w/o any satire and without any humor. Especially when you add in the Qtarded stuff. Q reads like someone who tapped into CotS (or the Illuminatus Trilogy, etc.) and just did not get the joke, much like idiots that thought the Colbert Report was actually done to support right wingers...
I read the Illuminatus trilogy when I was 23 (yeah I know) and for about 50 pages I almost believed it. Then I read the rest of the book and quickly realized it was satire (the golden submarine and Nazi Zombies are pretty big clues).
"Bob" has Slack. Trump has delusions of adequacy. They are not the same.
