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!

Trump is still salty about 'Spy Magazine,' which was a local NYC magazine that went out of business years ago.
They mocked him without mercy. Once they did a list of the cheapest New Yorkers. They sent 100 rich folks personal checks for about $5.00. Only half bothered to cast them. Then they lowered it to $2.00. About a dozen people took the bait.
The editors sent checks for thirteen cents [13 pennies, not enough to make a phone call] and two people cashed the checks. Trump and an arms dealer.
LMAO! Never heard of that but it's hysterical.
What a cheap bastard. Literally scrooge.
You shoulda seen Fred Christ Trump. Got a Woody Guthrie song named for him he was such a miserable bastard.
Ironically, I could see Taco blaming it on his equivalent of a.....autopen.
I like that he'd send pictures of his hands and notes in golden Sharpie for decades. This is from 2015, but at that point, it had gone on for 25 years. I mean, the Confederates dismiss critical conversations about Taco as "TDS", but to have a vendetta about an insult from 1984? That's some actual derangement right there...

The amazing thing about Trump is that no writer would ever produce such a complete idiot.
I knew about the whole 'short fingers thing,' but I had no idea he was still sending pictures.
Even the Governor from 'Blazing Saddles' would have called it off.
The best thing the phrase was "short fingered vulgarian" aka a common pickpocket. Trump did not get the reference and assumed they were talking about his hands.
I've never heard that, but it just makes it funnier.
