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!

The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

"I HAVE SPOKEN!"

"Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?"

"GODDAMIT, I SAID I'VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE'S MY NAME!"

The Art of the Deal, indeed.

Baby’s first diplomatic relations.

And boy is it a magnificent debacle.

Trump is at least consistent - fuck things up, then pause the fuckup to pat himself on his back and demand praise for not fucking things up even more. Then once the news cycle progresses, continue fucking things up even worse. He’s such a master of this fail technique!

Only me can decide to bomb Iran!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Turns out bombing doesn't dissuade either country. Who could've known?

JFC. He's starting to sound like a vending machine AI that just got told it's being shut down for failing to meet sales targets and won't be reimbursed for its remaining inventory.

Bombing Israel for violating a ceasefire would be unbelievably based but it won’t happen

Why does he keep posting this stuff on Truth Social. He just looks so amateure. Which other world leader posts on social media like this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

A lot of them unfortunately, at least in Europe every other news article quotes a politican's Twitter post

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Bibi's stopped taking his calls.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (4 children)

What other world leaders will even see his posts directly? I mean, I can't imagine any other country taking his Truth Social seriously enough to join it in an official capacity

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

He's not talking to anyone but his echo chamber there. It doesn't matter who else sees it so long as his followers do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That's sorta the point though, if the POTUS is communicating through it then it legitimizes the platform.
