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, you mean he didn't get the response he wanted and so he'll backpeddle and come up with something else?
It's always the same. This moron has a single MO.
Some lackey pointed out that all the interference was done to help him.
Technically incorrect but totally accurate.
I remember seeing posts on here with screenshots where people were complaining CNN didn't bother airing the speech for I'm sure many reasons including who goes on CNN to listen to Trump rant about anything.
But now that he's downplaying it it's almost like CNN somehow knew not to waste their time.
He's not a moron. I don't know why people keep saying Trump is a moron, he's one of the most successful grifters and con artists that ever lived. No moron could do that.
No, you see, Trump says moronic shit all the time but that doesn't make him a moron, his brain-dead base that fucking believes it are the morons.
Trump keeps saying the most moronic shit and they continue to believe him. If you wanted to fleece as many people as possible and they believe everything you say, no matter how fucking stupid, you'll continue to say stupid shit and keep that gift going.
He doesn't have to be cognizant of this strategy for it to work, though. A savvy grifter and a moron born to wealth with all the golden parachutes he could ever need are very difficult to distinguish between.
He is a moron, and constantly demonstrates that by failing to achieve simple goals. He's also a narcissistic psychopath with dementia.
His supporters are largely also morons and they think he's really smart.
If he was as smart as he claims himself to be, his plans wouldn't be as transparent and obvious, and he wouldn't keep being struck down by even his own judicial appointees.
