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!

Nah - not buying that one for a second.
There's absolutely no reason Iran would want Trump dead. They can certainly see, as everyone else (other than his deluded cultists) can see, that he's Putin's lap dog.
No reason Iran would want Trump dead? Under the Trump administration, Irans funds dried up and then when Biden and Kamala got in office they had billions flowing so that right there is reason enough imo. And I don't know where you've been but the Russia hoax was proven false long ago. The Steele dossier that it was based on was paid for by the Clinton campaign. One of the lawyers was convicted and sentenced for lying on an application to the FISA court in order to soy on the Trump campaign
Who said anything about the Steele Dossier? That's just a bit of oft-regurgitated headlining intended to serve the exact purpose it serves here - providing the deluded base with an excuse to ignore the plain truth.
All anyone with any sliver of integrity has to do to see the truth of the charge that Trump is Putin's lap dog is look at him and listen to him and see how he behaves whenever the subject of Putin comes up. He's somewhere between a cringing courtier and a schoolgirl with a crush, and it's so obvious and blatant that it's creepy. And as with so many things regarding Trump, all anyone has to do is open their eyes to see it and their minds to accept it.
Dude rolled up like:
