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.

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!"

Chaos is a ladder. My estimation is that this riles the base and enrages the opposition, creating fertile ground for violence during the election. Beyond that, I think it serves as a pressure release valve for the vicious idiocy, narcissistic rage, and extreme pathological insecurity that is constantly roiling inside Trump’s mind. He simply can’t contain it anymore.
Although, I never would have guessed that the enshitifcation of the federal government would result in such a disgusting and debased tactic. The people in this “administration” are not mentally well, and they must have waited their entire lives desperately working to project their insanity on the world. They wield the most sophisticated political apparatus ever built, and an advanced computational capability ostensibly conceived to birth new intelligent life, borne of the most perfect objects created by humanity, and this… this is the result? This childishly misanthropic display of racist schoolyard bullying? It’s beyond pathetic.
The children of America’s elite who grew up seeking the approval their parent’s vile and extreme beliefs, subsumed in a radioactive miasma of absurd wealth and power, vomit their sickness on to a vulnerable society. It is my belief that we are in the depths of a mass campaign of psychological and physical narcissistic abuse and projection.
These people would be pitiable if they weren’t so dangerous. America is being controlled by children on meth with machine guns.
