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!

Until its proven with action, this is political theater and misdirection. The DNC does this exact same thing all the time, but the weapons always ship, and we conduct zionist-serving airstrikes constantly, albeit one kind of weapon had a very slight delay in shipment, once.
,ohh lagy
The great master of the deal at work. Is this 5d chess yet?
At one point, he even claimed that his personal intervention has kept the unpopular leader out of prison.
Something that hadn't occurred to me before, but that would make me happy, is that Trump would attack the shit out of Bebe if he felt the need. Imagine him declaring that prison was necessary. A nice thought. It won't happen, but it made me happy for a moment.
You choose, mother fucker: Bebe or Epstein. Go!
I want to see Bebe take Trump down with him.
The president of the United States is going on an expletive laden tirade (again). Surely we have reached the point where you can publish the word Fuck in a headline. The broad news media coyness about "bad words" is so fucking asinine. He said the words, publish the words. The guy rapes kids, but heaven forbid those kids accidentally read a curse word, that'd scar them.
Feel like the US media would say "he allegedly had unwanted intercourse with underage parnters" or some shit like that. Something real pedo-coded.
It's all elites protecting the pact that they have. Case in point, even the owner of TheDailyBeast is:
Barry Charles Diller (born February 2, 1942) is an American billionaire businessman. He is chairman of IAC and Expedia Group, and founded the Fox Broadcasting Company with Rupert Murdoch and USA Broadcasting. Diller was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1994
Sure they're ultimately just people, but their class interests and protections will always get ahead of that. Even within those more "left" than the average rich person, class fidelity still dominates their important choices.
I didn't know the daily beast was owned by a murdoch pal, not that I ever look at them directly, just social media links. Even more reason to bypass their website if you want their content so they don't make money from it.
So that explains why TheDailyBeast is always so clickbaity and editorialized. I've always hated and ignored their reporting, even though it's mostly on my side of the political spectrum...
That is because they are playing us.
Not me, I've always called out their bullshit headlines, even before I knew who they were owned by

STUPID Libtard thinking 8 year old WOMEN are Underage!
-People with Kill Pedophile Stickers!
Actually a lot of 8-year olds are very mature and are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves if they want sexual relations with mature men in perfect health. A loving relationship between two concending humans does not equate sexual assault, you monster!
- probably some Trump supporter.
Not me. Writing the above made me wash my hands twice, my eyes once and puncture my eardrum so I could flush my brain with alcohol.
Ow, why puncture eardrum? I just get out the crown Royal when I want to wash my brain! /s
Didn’t he brag about solving something like a dozen wars, and thus deserved the Nobel peace prize? This isn’t even a full fledged war, so why can’t he solve this?
It's as much a war as the 3 day special military operation is a war. Don't down play the misery, people are getting bombed. Or did we already forget about the school children being murdered?
Tell Iran this isn’t a full-fledged war… and minimizing it only serves the interests of imperialism.
Peace Plan?
Does he even have a concept of a plan yet?
Or an understanding of the word 'peace'
Maybe trump means piece plan.
I didn't watch enough Simpsons to get this reference
Reference?
'Concepts of' a plan
How can something implode that doesn't exist?
All the sources for anything in the oval are people trump pays
Especially when it's about phone calls a handful of people were in the room for, if it leaks it's intentional.
Which could mean they're testing the waters of cutting ties, or just to distance himself in the public eye but nothing changes.
Uncontrolled outbursts of profanity and rage are a textbook sign of dementia.
Well fuck I think I’ve had dementia since this prick decided to descend that goddamn escalator
Imagine seeing that fat, Hapsburgian reality tv show failed fuck descend an escalator in a mall with his mail order Epstein bride and 70million + people go “I’ll vote for him”. US is clowncountry.
Republicans are great at hiring tepid at best politicians that were former actors into office.
Also of being a massive arsehole.
Good. Keep that blood pressure up. In anger, he should wolf down four or five McDonald's cheeseburgers...
With extra cheese and bacon on each. Along with switching from Diet Coke to regular Coke.
Exploded where? His diaper?
No news if so.
Art of the deal right there folks…
What a total incompetent fuck up.
Peace plan…
That’s how dumb you sound….
I miss when a tan suit and Dijon mustard was scandalous.
Hell, there was a time where a single captured swear word like this would get the religious right all worked up and create a legit scandal. Pretty sure there was a lot of work done to keep LBJ's famous potty-mouth concealed from the public. Remember when GOP got upset about Rahm Emmanuel telling someone to go "fuck themselves" or when then-VP Biden was caught on a hot mic telling Obama "you fucking earned this" or whatever it is he said about some accolade. "Let no filthy speech come from your mouth" it says in the Bible. "Unless it's our preferred politician" they added with an asterisk.
Remember Arugula-gate? I can guarantee Pepperage Farms remembers.
Time to change the diaper, I guess
