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!

Coward. I'd prefer if he was brave.
Honestly though, he's making the biggest deal possible about a nothing wound. I've seen people injured when hiking with worse injuries who make less of a deal about it. I also know lots of people who were hit by cars including myself
Apparently the town near Mar-a-Lago is also getting pissed off because they've closed the main road near him inconveniencing everyone at palm beach because he needs to be "protected", whilst he's still out campaigning and seeing thousands of people.
So, the question is being asked given that he is using his golf club for tax breaks whether they should shut it down
Wealthy people whining are going to make more consequences for Donald than the courts are.
I suspect most of us reading this have personally gotten bigger injuries that we made less of a fuss over
Those people injured while hiking, how many inches away were they from death? Trump was less than 6 inches easily. The actual injury is very lame, but if I narrowly escaped death by an inch or two I'd be freaking out too, especially if I had to continue doing what got me into that situation.
He wouldn't have to continue if he hadn't done so many crimes that his only hope to evade justice is pardoning himself.
I know lots of people injured when rock climbing (I operate a indoor rock climbing Meetup too).
And some of the routes we do when hiking actually have fairly regular rescues because they're highly exposed
During self arresting training when mountaineering, I was a bit too far to the side. The snow turned out to be a bit soft on that side, because I mostly went all the way down and only stopped shortly before a large crevasse
Also in nz, had the opportunity to meet Patrick morrow. My instructor (who was another record holder and whose partner is a major badass). They spent a while chatting and joking about all the major f'ups they had jokingly.
You'd never know that both of them were doing this stuff though. Some are affected by these experiences, some aren't
Trump gets the equivalent of a paper cut, and wants people to act like he got shot in a war. This is after boasting what a hard ass he is
He didn't take a Bullet for democracy. He used it to further abuse others
