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.

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.

His tweets read like Donald Trump putting his own words into an LLM that edits text to sound like Donald Trump. Like he typed his normal nonsense into ChatGPT and said "make it sound smart but still like Donald Trump."
What could this guy do that could be illegal and punishable? What?
Endless reports of Trump melting down. Nothing about real news or change.
So sick of seeing that cheetoh-face dim-wit puppet. Dreaming of times when we never see it again.
"Truth, Justice and the American Way!" Changed to "Money, Easy Money and Stolen Money...but only for all my friends!".
Free means all. Rise or fall.
We need to protect these 60 minutes people. They’re very brave and patriotic. We owe them protection for their service to America right now
“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News’”
Shocked pikachu used “projecting”
Blatant threats of government retaliation against private citizens.
Clear violation of the First Amendment.
And nothing will happen.
Fuck Trump.
Well, technically the first amendment only affects Congress. Should be a slam dunk case for Trump with this Supreme Court.
I feel like something you said is inaccurate. I feel like the Bill of Rights protects all people from all branches of the government.
Here is the text for your own interpretation:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Damn, the Framers were really confident we wouldn't bork up this badly, weren't they?
They were pretty optimistic, I'd say.
The more I read through the Federalist Papers and others, I am forced to agree. A lot of ideology, not a lot of logical follow-through.
Hitler was notorious for his temper tantrums. He is confirmed to have watched Charlie Chaplin's iconic 1940 film 'Thr Great Dictator' but never said or wrote what he thought of it. Charlie Chaplin said that he would have given anything to know what he thought of it.
Trump is born almost exactly 1 year later after hitlers death coincidence? Reincarnation baby, no quick saves.
The CIA must have operation paper clipped Hitler's soul.
Something must have happened in the process though, at least Hitler was halfway competent.
The allied forces explicitly decided not to try assassinating Hitler. They were worried someone more competent would take his place.
Well when you respond missing half your brain
Not really, he wasn't. The myth of Nazi/fascist competence comes from a combination of propaganda and "right time, right place" in terms of when they took the reins of the German economy. A kind of funny example that isn't Nazis, but their contemporary fascists, Mussolini's Italian regime damaged the on-time performance of trains in Italy, but the regime kept saying the trains were running on time to the point where it's become a whole saying about excusing fascism because of its competence/results ("at least the trains run on time").
Oh, so it's like "at least eggs are cheaper"? Neat
It’s effective. If you listen to interviews where people give reasons they voted for mango Mussolini, it’s invariably something he declared regardless of reality or evidence.
It shouldn’t take much listening to the guy to realize everything he says is BS but apparently some people only hear what they want to, and take that as fact
Straight up, the dude has been the beneficiary of the most dick-riding post-humous propaganda ever, second maybe only to Robert E. Lee or Jeff Davis.
Maybe they just showed him the same cut as in Iron Sky (2012). It would be amazin if that joke was that deep.
