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!

Persecution complex on full display. What a fucking embarrassment. I wish him the absolute worst. He's certainly in the top ten list of worst human beings to have ever lived, and we let him become US president. I don't think enough Americans are aware of the lasting damage being incurred, or the path towards actual collapse we're bumbling down.

“I don’t think enough Americans are aware of the lasting damage being incurred, or the path towards actual collapse we’re bumbling down.”

Nope, they revel in their ignorance. If we make it out of this we need Reconstruction rules - no more voting for them!

We elected him twice! Twice. (Maybe)

Twice!

If it's any consolation, Trump is as much a symptom of a global trend, as he is a root cause. In many ways you are lucky that you caught a buffoon tyrant; it actually could be worse.

So true. Pope Leo XIV has an excellent warning for us. The orange felon/pedophile is a mirror.

I disagree. I mean, don't get me wrong - I do think the damage he is causing is absolutely horrifying. But the man himself? Completely worthless loser. Honestly, if he actually was some kinda scheming villain who can't be stopped, then this bullshit might actually make sense. But he's just a self absorbed moron with not a single redeeming quality. Literally a complete waste of space.
