Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This is the media. And Trump's love of publicity.
Maybe if he didn't do horrible things to benefit himself at our expense every day the media wouldn't have been having a field day. I mean, every word and every action that guy makes is 100% about boosting himself up and knocking everyone else down. Hard not to report on all that when the guy that's supposed to be leading us and improving things is sabotaging and grifting us in plain sight. Ya know?
We are not going to change Trump's narcissistic, destructive grifting, but the media doesn't have to report on it.
Can't say that pretending his narcissistic destructive grifting doesn't exist sounds like a better option.
It exists, but it doesn't need to be amplified.
Right, elect Trump and stay quiet. Got it.
No. Stop encouraging media reporting of Trump. Don't click on Trump links.
True. And honestly I wish they would stop. Even now he KEEPS getting tons of media attention he wants.
Even media adjacent things like all the late shows went from comedy about anything to all Trump all the time and I had to stop watching them. It is exhausting.
Fair. Turning off media is a valid decision.
