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!

Remember, people. Donald Trump couldn't run a casino.
A casino. A business that exists so people can just walk in and give you lots of money all for the hopes of maybe walking out with somewhat less money. And he failed. Six fucking times. He literally had thousands of people handing him money for nothing every single day and he still fucking failed.
That is a level of fail I did not think was achievable by a functioning human being allowed to go outside without adult supervision. But there are somehow 80 million people in this fucking country that know that and are still saying "Yep, that's our guy!"
Donald Trump failed at selling gambling, alcohol, and steaks.
To Americans.
It's already been proven that if Trump had simply done nothing but let the inheritance he got from his father collect interest, he would be significantly more wealthy than he is now.
Which means all he had to do was nothing. Nothing. And somehow, he failed at that. The man failed at doing nothing.
Benefit of the doubt here, weren't the casinos some criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes or sg?
Nah he was just stupid about it. He had one casino and built a new one in the same competing market. It was beyond stupid but he did it anyway. See decline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Plaza_Hotel_and_Casino
No, just good old failing at business.
He was super over-leveraged and fucked himself over.
Yeah I never know with this guy if his stupidity or his criminality won any particular day.
