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!

He would sue gravity for making him fall down if he could figure out a way. It's always someone else to blame, never a single ounce of responsibility. So tough, not being g able to admit you are wrong or don't know. So manly. So... Pathetic. Blathering blazerskite!
Grumpy Trumpy. How is that not a meme/his nickname? With shit like sleepy Joe I'm sure it would sting his fragile ego.
Sometimes my occasional dyslexia has its advantages.
Tweedledon
That nickname is too cute, he deserves something like "pissy pants orange sack of shit"
What a pathetic toddler.
Grumpy Trumpy took a 'lil dumpy, right in his pants, and then did a little dance.
Weak, pathetic, traitor
polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
It is so infinitely moronic that some people thought he would be good for the economy. Trump is an idiot that just happened to be born rich, and he is absolutely evil and ruthless, and is lucky he is not in jail.
If Trump wasn't rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20. His malignant narcissist personality makes him a habitual criminal. He has no regard for others, social grace, tradition or the law.
He always meant that he was good for the economy of the rich, and not the rest of us. That messaging was directly sent to the billionaire class, with a beneficial side effect of his moron supporters thinking he was sending that message to them, too.
Yes, and he absolutely shamelessly cut taxes for the rich. And anyone can do that if they don't care about balancing the budgets. Which of course the tariffs were really for.
But it's stupid tricks that will prove doubly harmful to the US economy in the long run.
some people thought
Some people don't think.
If Trump wasn’t rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20.
Where I grew up, his body would have turned up in a shallow grave in the desert, long before he'd make it to jail. And if he did make it to jail, it'd end there.
waste of good shovel durability :P
The first time around, in 2016, there were a lot of "Trump will be great for the economy" takes. There were many unknowns at the time, so I can forgive people who believed that then. By the time 2024 came around, anyone with a pulse - or anyone who hadn't attached their entire ego to him - knew better.
Guy in front of me in line to vote told his kid PEDOnald was going to make groceries more affordable. Morons.
Plus when he was campaigning he laid out exactly how he was going to wreck the economy and raise most people's taxes.
Oh, so you don’t remember when BIDEN CHEATED and immediately shut down the country and tried to inject us all with tracking devices, and we all lost our jobs and everyone died?
It’s ALWAYS the DEMONRATS
/s
My in-laws voted for Trump because they were certain Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism.
Lol. Did you tell them Biden is catholic.
Yeah, you really can't get much dumber than that. Anyone that bought what that man was selling is a little shy in their bag of marbles.
How can anyone be that stupid? Seriously. It just boggles my mind, I'm too stupid to understand the depths of their stupidity.

Trump bankrupted a Casino, a business that by its very nature should be virtually impossible to sink.
Casinos have an initial cost to open, they have some costs to run, but their chief interest is People who have a problem where they give away too much of their money to try to win big, give you all their money, occasionally you have to give a fraction back so it feels less as if the house always wins.

From now on all polling questions must be asked in a way that benefits the administration.
The one thing I can say is glad the NYT is having to deal with his bullshit since they sanewashed him
And yet Fox, who has done much much worse, is not.

I continue to believe this timeline could not be any more stupid, and time after time I am proven wrong.
This butthurt baby keeps doing things you would have assumed were only The Onion headlines a few years ago...
