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!

I just hope he makes it to prison before he dies

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I believe that's the first unambiguously true statement that came out of his mouth

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

There have been a few. Like when he said he has the same temperament as he did in first grade.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Consider me unsurprised

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Since he said he doesnt care that means he cares? Not like he ever tells the truth.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol. You're next, Trump. You old ass fuck. You won't outlive the majority of this country. You already lost your marbles, you chickenshit bag of bones. You can't outlive the youth that wants you and your policies gone.

I Really Don’t Feel Sorry for Him.

Yes, I already don't feel sorry for him. I'm 100% sure his actual mental and physical health - his most guarded secret - is very much worse than what he likes to broadcast. I mean listen to him talk, look at him move. Fear must be settling in at the back of his mind. There isn't many people on this world I wouldn't feel any compassion for, but he is one of them. He has consciously chosen to be the asshole too many times and on too grand a scale.

There it is, I remember reading his Truth Social post where he was nice to Biden about it when it first came out and going "There's no way he doesn't say something horrible once he's asked live on camera."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

That was far, far too eloquently written to not have been a staffer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Use ten words in your post without CAPSLOCK in a row if you're under duress, Mr. President.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That is cold. I wouldn’t think that even about my enemies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have more restraint than I do. I wish only the most deserved forms of cancer onto Trump and co

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

I do wish a lot of terrible things but once something is real, I usually don’t enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

You don't have to enjoy it. But the world would be objectively better off without that piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Royl Cohn taught him well

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope all figures who support genocide and war also get aggressive cancer.

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

I was about to say this is something Lemmings and Trump can agree on, and here you are!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Well most ML are maga anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

He talks like a simpleton and they think this is better than Biden

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

It's never the one who deserves getting ass cancer...

Such class. Such compassion. What presidential behavior, from a true leader.

And if you don't think that's snark, I've got these genuine imitation gold coins with my face on them, only $199.99.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Worst thing, the world is getting used to this. Soon (some) people will think that's just how politics works. Partial imitations are popping up everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well of course he doesn't - he's a psychopath. A complete lack of concern for others is one of his defining characteristics.

And even beyond that, Biden's a special case.

Another aspect of Trump's mental illness is his entirely self-absorbed conception of reality. For instance, he wanted to win in 2020; and he believes he deserved to win in 2020, therefore, from his delusional point of view, the only possible reality is that he did win, but somebody stole it from him.

And that somebody is Biden, and since another aspect of his mental illness is to childishly cling to grudges over perceived wrongs, he has it in for Biden specifically.

I always remember that prophetic quote from some time between 2016 and 2019: "He will not go willingly".

It was either Mary Trump or Tony Schwartz; they both said things to that effect.

Pretty sure he didn’t want to fuck his nephew.

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

Just his daughter

Well, the one whose name he can actually remember

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't want to fuck Biden either

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

This is the worst thing I've seen all week.

I love it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

What have you done

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Trump is a dick. Nothing new.
