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!

It’s not (just) that Trump seems unpresidential—it’s that he seems like an unwell elderly man posting AI slop for an audience of bots on Facebook. Imagine that, instead of Donald Trump’s, you were looking at the feed of a relative. What would you say or do? Whom would you call?

Many journalists seem to think twitter is the whole internet. When trump left, so did coverage of his posts. I don't know if it's overall a bad thing. This article argues you should look at what he says so as to not let it fade in the background, but trump is a very much "all attention is good attention" type of guy

I'd sooner be rolled down a hill while locked inside a Port-a-Potty than spend a minute of my time in the nightmare swamps of Trump's incomprehensible rants.

But here ya go...https://trumpstruth.org/

The only good thing about that social network is keeping toxic things in their place.

Echo chambers aren't a good thing, especially when it's pushing shit so detached from reality.

I wonder if someone here is willing to create some account on there and start archiving what he says.

The best part of the debate was when Kamala Harris recommended people go a Trump rally to see how unhinged he got. There should be value to seeing his crazy microblogs in case you think about voting for him.
