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!

Ughh as usual fuck you media asshats... Not that it's really that much better, and believe me I fucking despise trump and the current day Republican party, but his joke was about other women.
He was making a misogynistic joke that other women would be thrilled to have money, and not care as much about their lost husband... He wasn't making a joke about the people at the rally or their slain family members as this article tries to make you believe... This helps no one rawstory and only reenforces Magoos belief that all media is biased against trump.
Hit him for the misogynistic nature of the joke, no need to lie about who it was aimed at...
Trump is using the widows response to her husbands death to deliver a joke. Trying to make the whole thing funny. How is that joke not at their expense, when it’s built on their situation?
Trump is absolutely being disgusting, and half the people here can't even see it?
Its a joke that tells you what he thinks about relationships. That they are inherently transactional, with "rare" outliers like this widow in his story.
Thank you. I'm glad to see someone else saying this. RawStory should be banned. They are as much disinformation as anything on the right. They take things out of context, twist the wording, and sometimes blatantly lie just to create rage bait. The biggest things they achieve making the left look as bad as the right and giving Trump legitimate ammunition to use when he says the media are out to get him.
I absolutely agree. Almost every RawStory piece I see is pretty garbage and the exact type of nonsense and same wanton disregard for fact that infuriates me about the Right's media ecosphere.
