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!

I mean... wh.. what?

I don't think there's any method to this madness. It's just madness. If this isn't proof that Trump is mentally impaired and ripe for impeachment, I don't know what is.

Trump translation reminder: he refers to himself when he refers to the US.

When he says "we are doing well," it's even less ambiguous. He's saying he personally is doing well. Meaning he is either profiting in terms of personal influence, compliments from Putin, feeling powerful, etc. That's all that means.

People don't even know = I just heard about this

So there was a poll where an overwhelming majority of Americans blame Russia for the war (duh). Shortly after finding out Trump "threatened" Russia without taking any actual measures. Now it's all good again. It'll be enough to convince his MAGA orks that he's not a Russian asset. Putin probably gave his ok for this.

The dumbest man to live in North America is still alive, and he's president in the US.

In an ideal world, the dumbest man in America and The President of the United States would be two different people.

We do not live in an ideal world.

My theory on Trump is that the guy bullshited everyone all his life and now, although all his words are scrutinized, continues bullshiting out of reflex.

I think he's just plain senile, but still functional and not at the dribbling stage yet.

Trump has realized he can get away with saying anything. This is because he is doing it constantly, and it exhausts peoples ability to react after a while.

Its quite dangerous because the population will accept almost anything in the end.

This one is easy. His idea about what "doing really well with Russia" means is way different from what American officials have had for decades.

I'm sorry, I can't hear what you're saying, over the sound of putin's dick in your mouth!

All he does is spew bullshit, but the insane thing is, the majority of the country fall for it.
