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 trying to blame Buttigieg for air safety issues from this past week.

And a former partner at Soros Fund Management.

That the antisemitic and homophobic bigot fanboys like Alex Jones aren't demonizing him as a "deep state globalist degenerate" or whatever and demanding that Trump fire him is a perfect example of how servile they are to their Mango Mussolini Messiah

Alex Jones is just an Elon Musk cheerleader selling sea moss and ranting about the devil at this point. It’s incredible to see how contradicting his current support for this administration’s illegality is to his whole philosophy from when he started. He never cared about anything. It was always about chasing the grift. He rolled Bill Cooper into Rush Limbaugh to sell cheap supplements to rubes at a high markup.

You're mostly right, but I have it on good authority (Knowledge Fight) that there's two parts of his whole schpiel that are and have always been genuine: his bigotry and his fetishization of violence in general and guns in particular.

The rest IS an act for attention and profits, though.

Dan and Jordan are way too respectful to talk about Alex’s love for porn of trans women. Wonder if that’s a factor in the divorce.

Totally. Shout out to JorDan and yourself.
