Rules:

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.

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.

Strategically what do they even get that they don't have from this?

It's just a massive waste of political will.

Fuck Trump.

They will name it Trumpland so he’ll get his legacy. Billionaires will set it up as a place for the wealthy to retreat to for the upcoming political and climate wars.

They should rename it Orangeland.

Nah Trump should leave it the fuck alone.

Billionaires egos. That’s all.

I actually think its bait to encourage China to invade Taiwan.

That-is-the-goddamned-point.

We will all suffer.

Him and his enablers won't.

That's the end of it all.

That's Putin's goal, and Trump is Putin's bitch.
