This is a weaksauce article, with the same energy as "we really got him now boys, he's done for, he's doing everything wrong, wrong election strategy, never work, you see if he really wanted to ....." blah blah blah blah

Trump's DOD pick Pete Hegseth was at the helm of the Pentagon, when for the first time in American history, a US Army Blackhawk Helicopter flew into the descending flight path of a commercial passenger jet airplane over American soil, killing everyone, plunging them into The Potomac River.

I wonder if the families of the dead from the plane crash, or the families of the millions dead from a purposeful and inept global pandemic response should "Believe him". fffs, "don't believe him" as he's litteraly destroying the American economy with a tariff war, after 3 years of unprecedented inflation, so many are now, because of these tariffs, months away from absolutely losing everything.

"don't believe him" jfc, publishing this garbage "chin up" bullshit doesn't help anyone, and neither does posting it as if there's anything of value to be gleaned

Donald Trump is a worldender, and he's ending our world, right now, this minute, shit is breaking that can't easily be repaired. Believe that.

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!
