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 would fill his pants if he was ever in any kind of war zone. But you know that’ll never happen because he’s a coward.

His pants are already full. That's why he wears diapers

Definitely not defending the psychopathic geriatric clown, but he's also like almost 80.

He did draft dodge or something back in the day. So you're not wrong at all, I just wanted to point out people that old are rarely deployed. And "rarely" is a bit of an understatement there.

Good point. I was referring to leaders that visit warzones to support allies and so on. He would never do that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

That's certainly true.

Okay, he was and is a coward who browned a pair of pants the second anyone brought up the mere possibility he might be drafted.

And to be clear the people who refused to go, who burned their draft cards at protests, or even just stayed home until the police showed up aren't in this picture. Trump proactively got a doctor to lie so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Invading other countries is not really a feat to be proud of though
