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.

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 just so so so stupid. I hate that the leader of the nation is 100x dumber than me. That doesn’t make sense
American society values confidence above all else, especially intelligence or competence. Unfortunately, a lot of confident people are assholes and/or morons.
that's what he's hiding!
The really sad part, is that I made that image on August 16, 2017. This has been glaringly obvious for so fucking long
I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job
Every accusation is a projection.
What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.
Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?
This fucker is like an IRL Michel Scott
"Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope to find it somewhere along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation."
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and then I will be able and not to do with him and being able for the best to make us feel like we are the only one that has a lot to say otherwise we will have a lot more time for you guys and we will see if they are going on about the show
Yes please. The sooner the better
Dude this is everyone in MAGA country. It's so fuckin bad. I had a client rant unprompted to me about Biden and electric cars for a half hour on Friday.
My ass is moving to the UK ASAP. Helps when your spouse is from there.

We could use the assist!
I’d ask for rescue, but your Supreme Court just ruled that I shouldn’t be allowed to piss anywhere at all because a mediocre children’s author is apparently a kingmaker now. Maybe y’all should prioritize taking care of your own homegrown fascists? This is sorta “there but for the grace of god go I” except yall also did stupid shit like Brexit.
Yes, please come pick up your rebellious teenager
Feels like we’re headed towards a new dark ages
We’re already in it

Talking back, jail. Making fun of him, jail. Running for governor, believe it or not, jail.
It Trump doesn't like something, he calls it a crime.
Trump is a crime
“But you have a governor who let the city burn down, didn’t want water to be sent down to him,” Trump complained about Newsom and January’s wildfires. “I mean, I sent billions of gallons of water. I wanted to do it in the first term. He wouldn’t do it over. I don’t know, they have environmental reasons, but there were no environmental reasons. It’s, I think it’s just a political philosophy. But it’s lucky for the people in Los Angeles and in California that we did what we did.”
They dumped an entire reservoir full of water designed for agriculture purposes, into the fucking ocean! That reservoir didn't even connect to LA's supply.
I had forgotten they did that. I know they're evil but it shocks me again
They got the headline they wanted.
They did in this case, too.
Trump still playing the media like a fiddle.
The media colludes with that. They're not victims.

Trump committed the crime of running for president.
Yeah, but running for President when you aren't eligible for the office for fomenting rebellion really is a crime.

This is what every narcissist does -- if you paint him with a bad (and deserved) brush like making him a convicted felon -- well, his vindictiveness has to now make his enemies into felons too, whatever it takes.
You see how hard the propaganda went after Biden? Trying to convince as many tubes as possible that Biden and his son were like Mafia guys...
Every accusation by Trump is another fucking confession.
I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job.
Yeah Donnie, i think you've done such a bad job you should be arrested too if we're playing that game.
Certainly if he's legalizing the open arrest of political leaders then he's at the top of the list.
He is fucking senile.
Maybe, but he's always been ignorant and stupid, so it is nearly impossible to tell.
This is him normalizing the accusation, because he knows it will be made at him in 2028.
If Newsome and others are successful in their defense/cases on this, Trump can say "they did it, so I can do it" in 2028 (giving the media their sane washing angle to investigate and content create about). If the governors he goes after are unsuccessful - he'll further prove his absolute power.
It's win win.
Yeah these things should be hereditary and only only passed to male offspring! Like the good old days! /s obviously

I wish Trump would drop dead, like yesterday. Rapist Racist Nazi sack of shit of a human, although human is a stretch when describing this stench of a “man”.
