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!

Here is how it works, the media will tell you something that is misleading or directly false. Literally all the things you think about trump are there to make you react EXACTLY how you are reacting. All you need to do is just watch the video and EVERY TIME its a direct lie or mislead. Literally every time. But you wont look into it because you kind of like the hate porn.
No, it works by Trump opening his mouth, saying a bunch of stupid and anti-democratic shit, and me fucking hating him and his followers.
That's how that works.
You're REALLY making me pity you now.
What I would recommend is that you actually look into any of the things you believe becuase you will find you have been lied to.
Friend, I think with the facts and transparency out in the world, you'd be better at critical thinking. If someone is making fresh threats to back up their previous attempts and failures at something, it's a real threat.
You're backing a wannabe dictator, dipshit. Get with the real world, and stop living in the one crafted by poorman's liar and failure at everything, Donald Trump. The fact the guy couldn't keep SIX CASINOS from going under should tell you something.
Here. You'll probably say they're lying even though everything is backed up with REAL DATA instead of Trump's lies and bullshit, but: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/opinion/trump-lies-charts-data.html
