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!

He also complained about Obama golfing (at Air Force bases close to the White House). Trump nearly doubled his count (mostly at private/expensive golf courses).
Republicans are nothing if not hypocrites.
Mostly at his own private + expensive golf courses, where he was billing the secret service at exorbitant rates, which we all paid for in our taxes. That’s fucking bullshit, and reason #27564 that you shouldn’t vote for the guy.
He was directly profiting from his golf outings at our expense. Fuuuuck this guy.
Had it been a peanut farm I'm sure Republicans would have been going apeshit, right!
Dude just owned a peanut farm, right? It’s not like he forced tax payers to pay him for his own usage of that peanut farm.
That's the worst part
He still is!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck this guy!!!!!
Bold "our" in "our taxes" as well, since he certainly did not pay any of his. To the extent of committing crimes to not pay.
Golf courses specifically designed and built for heads of state and dignitaries to golf at because of house safe and secure they are. Mar-a-lago was allegedly a nightmare for the secret service to secure.
