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 literally overheard a Mexican immigrant who was happy when he was talking about Trump's kid running after his dad finished his 2 terms. This was before Trump actually won, but they were already talking like they wanted a monarchy.

I was disgusted.

There are no more real elections. Someone named Trump will be in power for a very long time.

Laughable. The one I’m worried about is Kushner.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

He's been disturbingly quiet this time around. I'd like to think it's because he's satisfied with managing that $2bn Saudi fund, but I find that unlikely.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 16 hours ago

I'd say no fucking way, but I've seen how stupid some of the American electorate truly are - the people suffering from severe daddy issues fell hard for a soft little spoiled Manhattanite that was given daddy's money and a stupid game show....so they very well might vote for one of his sons...JFC.

I say someone breaks a pool stick in half in front of Don Jr and Eric and let them decide amongst themselves.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Put his Weiner on the big screen in Congress, then we can decide.

I bet Marj wanted to hate-fuck Hunter soooo bad.

Who's gonna vote for coke-boy?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

It depends on whether or not Democrats put up a more electable candidate or not. You might think that might be easy, but I already can hear the D rumblings of, "Hold my beer".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I’d give him about as much of a chance as Sarah Palin.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Americans? Have you seen what they are capable of?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago

Yep. Even under Dumbya, I would have said no fucking way.

Not after seeing how stupid the conservatives/Republicans really are and seeing they had just enough numbers and cheating to have them win with Taco...

There are just a lot of very fucking stupid and nasty people in the world...and many of them vote.

You laugh but the way Americans are acting the only reason he wouldn’t be the president after Donald is if they put Barron on the throne instead.

Because he looks like a young version of your daddy so he’s better.

You folks can even reuse your wall portraits of Dear Leader later on maybe nobody will notice.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yea, but baron isn't old enou.... Oh wait the rules didn't matter anymore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

What's amusing is the the conservatives that acted like they were always rubbing one out with the Constitution in one hand are the first to abandon it...same with the ones clutching their pearls over the Clintons or the Kennedys being a "dynasty", LOL.

They'll race to cradle the balls of any of Taco's male offspring that run for office, I bet. Ivanka is not only a woman, she probably was/is not sufficiently supportive of "maga" (more of that baby-talk - the word means nothing, it's just baby-talk for "whatever daddy Taco sez").

[–] [email protected] 33 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Bwahahaha! Sure kid. I can never remember if he's bevis or butthead. They both look like children of the two.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Neither of them realize Ivanka is the favorite. Jr thinks it's him lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

reminds me of this guy

[–] [email protected] -4 points 18 hours ago

Just because he gives handiest with a smile, it doesn't compare to that Ivanka puss.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

Neither. They're Fuckwit and Fucktwat. Beavis and Butthead are national treasures in comparison.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If he ran on the, "Oh yeah I'll definitely be in charge wink wink" platform he prob could get the MAGA vote, sadly enough.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Voters aren't his problem. His problem is there's no way daddy ever puts Kendall in charge of the company, ever.

This especially works for Eric as like Kendall he is not the eldest.
