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!

So he's the guy the Iranians and Saudis need to pay to kill Trump? Is that what he's saying?
Apart from the obvious implication they are engaged in crime, even the term "protection" is just comedically accurate on-the-nose mafia terminology for what is happening - a subtle threat of punishment to "supporters" unless they comply.
Once again, it's hard to think of a better insult than what they openly admit to. It's another confirmation they are psychopaths, because if they were at all capable of shame, they'd feel nothing else.
That sounds like a confession of committing a criminal conspiracy
I'm thinking most people know - that's why he's always running away from journalists when they are asking him the fluffiest of questions...
Well, I guess the silver lining is that it's so damn easy to hate these ghouls. Like, they don't even try to have a shred of anything remotely resembling likability to confuse my rationale or emotional impulses.
I wonder if any of them have ever considered just not breaking the law?
Most are too dumb to know what the law is let alone have the backbone to stand up to anyone with a quarter in their pocket willing to split it with them for looking the other way
If their ideology weren't "rules for thee, not for me" they wouldn't be Republicans in the first place.
The video is even worse than how it reads.
Brazenly bragging about a cover-up.
Treason?
Is there still a country left to betray?
