Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

He legitimately might not remember. Someone asked him about calling Zelensky a dictator today and his response was "Did I say that? I can't believe I said that." And that was something he said just over a week ago.

Anyone remember that old Trump Argues Trump subreddit? It was full of Trump quotes arguing against other Trump quotes. Pretty sure the mods went inactive and/or it got brigaded into the ground by /TD. This is nothing new.

I think it was r/TrumpVsTrump ...it was an absolute goldmine.

If only his supporters actually gave a sliver of a fuck about hypocrisy.

New York author Fran Leibowitz said it best.

"You don't know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don't."

“This guy is a fucking moron!”

—Rex Tillerson (Trumps first Secretary of State)

I just don’t understand the look he’s been doing forever. WHY THE ORANGE? It looks idiotic. It obviously takes time and energy to do. It looks stupid as fuck. I do not get it. I do not understand how you can just look at a guy at that age and be like “this man is super intelligent.” He paints himself orange. Even if nothing else about the man bothered you, shouldn’t that be a red fucking flag that he shouldn’t be in charge of anything?!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just think how much worse his natural complexion must look. Probably just covered in age spots that only the orange can cover.

We could solve the housing shortage and homelessness if we zoned the space between that man's ears.

Why would you build housing inside a shooting range?

I think he's started to dip into Elon's ketamine stash honestly.

Chalk up a big one for Trump vs Trump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

I don't even think it was an accident. It's like anything he does, he blames "someone" else and he knows if he blames "past administration" his followers will believe it's a democrat even if he was the one that signed it.

That would require some self awareness.
