Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Trump IS a very special baby.

I can't wait for republicans to announce that Trump invented the hamburger.

Could it be that he is the second coming of America's founder, Dr. Jesus Christ MD?

“Even in Pyongyang they must be looking at this and wondering WTF”

I am fully convinced that there is a contingent on the right that is attempting to lay the groundwork to shift MAGA into a full-on religious cult once Trump finally dies.

Like I think there will be people who will literally start opening The Church of Trump. I think there will be a not-insignificant number of MAGA folks who will go all in on dedicating their hearts and lives to him.

It's like they're already trying to plant the seeds to claim his divinity in the future.

I honestly wish I was joking.

I didn't like the last two seasons much, but The Boys wins again!

These people are absolutely unhinged.

I kind of understand if they want someone to tick all the boxes of some weird conservative agenda like Project 2025, and DonOLD does tick those boxes....but praising the man, himself, like that?

So fucking gross. Where are your goddamned balls? Being a total worm like this is just so disgusting and WEIRD.

Authoritarian enablers love to grovel, almost as much as they love to bully those weaker than themselves.

He was born a very special baby

He will die a very special baby.
