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!

The wife of the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s ongoing civil fraud trial is the latest target of Trump’s rage online.

Trump took aim at Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife in a series of posts Tuesday afternoon, purporting that an account on X — formerly Twitter — that made several anti-Trump posts belongs to her.

Trump frumpy dump drump. I don't know why anyone continues to care what he does or says or thinks. He's the reason the "off" button on my TV remote is worn down to a nub. He simply is not a human with any conscience or consequence and I don't know why he continues to plague our society, but I pretty much have buried him and moved on.

Because he was the President of the US and is STILL the frontrunner for 2024 Republican presidential nomination. There's a very good chance that he becomes President again. There's lot of reasons to pay attention to what a fascist seizing power is doing.

Unless of course someone is so privileged they never have to worry what far-right politicians are doing...

He was never president as far as I'm concerned and I've never given him any ounce of respect at all. He is the frontrunner for a sick Nazi mentality that wants to destroy everything this country was ever meant to be, and I have about as much interest in him as a I do in a dead flea. Even if he is elected again I shall never recognize him as being in any sort of power over me, no matter what.

I guess it's true my family has some privilege (money wise) but being in a higher tax bracket doesn't always mean we side with the wealthy but morally bankrupt side of politics.

Welp have fun in fantasy land.

One of the biggest privileges I enjoy is not being a stinking turdball like people of your ilk. And I certainly do have fun in my fantasy land, more than you could ever dream. Have fun living amongst the cretins of the world - it's a little better than what you deserve, but so be it.

Lol. Ok, boomer. It's rare someone says something that fits that prompt so aptly.

When the fascists take over and you're sitting there wondering "why is this happening?" remember your own foolishness. Or you might be marching with them? We'll see.

I enjoy your anger over my statements, it makes me happy to know I get under your skin. One of the biggest privileges I enjoy is not being a stinking turdball like people of your ilk.
