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!

For the record, there are 195 recognized countries on the planet, including the US.
That means he'd have struck a deal with literally every country on earth, including countries like North Korea that we never had trade deals with in the first place, and six that don't exist. Maybe he made a deal with those penguins?
Everything he says is a lie. No surprise, he isn't forthcoming with a list. Convict the 34 count felon.
Beijing described Trump as a paper tiger, looks threatening, but folds and collapses under the slightest pressure.
He also doesn't look threatening...
Fear of clowns is a common. What internal demons possess a man, causing them to paint their faces in ridiculous unnatural hues. Or wear baggy ridiculous clothing. Taint natural I tells ya!
Please don't evoke images of Trump's taint.
It's true in Trump's case, but it's also a cliche they use for anything they don't approve of.
They seem to have dropped Mao's old favorite, "running dog curs of Western imperialism" though.
If nothing else, Trump will have managed to make the quintessentially British word "bonkers" mainstream in the US.
It already is
Well that hardly narrows it down
"And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices,"
I am not from the US and I really can't believe, a convicted man that lied in his first term is president again.
Also I can't believe there are people still rooting for and defending him, while his behavior is obviously erratic to say the least and clearly not in favor of the people that voted for him.
And I can't believe people are still surprised he is lying. Again.
It's mass delusion.
They don't see any of that like they literally live in a different reality. Something like 30% of our population is in the Trump conservative media environment.
Conservative media environment?
Its called the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and it exists by design. Dick Cheney and Roger Ailes created it in the wake of Watergate, because they felt like the Republican party had no allies in the mainstream media to defend Nixon, so they decided to create an alternative media that would be on their side.
Ailes gets credit for it for creating Fox News in 1996, but it started long before that, with Rush Limbaugh and the enormous number of conservative radio talk shows that exploded after Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.
Today we have families that have grown up with three generations steeped in concervative propaganda, discussing "politics" over the kitchen table that are nothing more than deliberate lies. They think they live in a world where Blue state schools have litterboxes for students who identify as Furries.
Well, Trump lied. Again, sad, but no news.
