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!

Because it was never about reality, or facts.

His demented verbal diarrhea is all conman blather. Always was, 100%.

Every time some possibly-well-intentioned corporate news hack or commenter says “Trump thinks that . . . “ or “Trump knows . . .”, I think, “NOPE.”

You actually landed on the truth there. He is demented, because he clearly has advanced dementia, probably exasperated by decades of amphetamine abuse.

If you listen to interviews with him from the early 2000s, he's still a pompous asshole, but he could speak in coherent thoughts.

Likely aggravated by the stress of his 91 indictments and all the consequences he's suffering. This kind of stress would affect a perfectly well balanced and healthy person. With Trump, the effects are likely multiplied.

Of course, he only has himself to blame (although he'll still try to blame Biden). Don't commit all these crimes if you can't handle the trials.

Yeah, multiple sources confirmed that he abused Adderall for years.

Lol at that rabid squirrel that makes up his hair

Don't speak ill of the dead.

It looks like a bird made its nest from one of those exploded cotton plants and then used its own shit to hold it all together

The guy probably has dementia.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think he has dementia from untreated syphilis.

Hey man, trying to avoid STDs in the eighties was his own personal Vietnam.

Christ on a shitstick, who does he think he’s fooling with that “hair”?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

… himself.

Donnie Two Times. How many phrases does he repeat?

"I'm going to get the papers. Get the papers."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

he's just vibing

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Remember when we thought "he's the kinda president I'd have a beer with" sounded like treason?

A-B-P Always Be Promoting. A-Always, B-Be, P-Promoting.
