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 LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early hours of Friday.

Convicted felon and sexual assailant* Trump

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

just a reminder: the stormy Daniels thing was about election fraud. It's not illegal to pay someone for sex in some places, but it is illegal to defraud the voting public.

I mean, yes, sex out of wedlock is not an Old Testament sort of thing to do, and it's the right POV for this context.

Just wanting to remind everyone: he's guilty of election fraud.

(I've had someone confused thinking that was what Georgia is about, but that's election interference. I know, they all start to blur together after a while.)

The guy who literally embodies all of the Seven Deadly Sins "loves" the Ten Commandments.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

"Accused" adulterer? The fuck? That's a matter of public record.

EVERY time these people push "The 10 Commandments",

hit them with this:

He thinks the Ten Commandments are a bingo card.

Novembern? Is this Jesus' sneaky way of saying never?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Novembern't

Why wouldn't he love them? He keeps breaking them without repercussions. It's the kinds of laws Trump loves.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

For leaders it's 10 important lines to oppress all the others. And to start witch hunts. Long ago it was rules for personal life.

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

Come on do I have to say at this point? He will say anything, he is a compulsive liar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

So 1. John 2:4 is perfect for him: The one who claims, “I know him,” while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person.

"I start kissing them. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful ancient texts. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the tablet. You can do anything."

I don't know if it says more about me, or more about trump that I almost thought this was a real quote.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Well, it almost is...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

His hat reads 45-47

That's wrong. It implies he was the 46th president too.

It should read 45, ~~47~~

What a dumbass.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It should actually read 45-34, that's the most accurate version.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Took me a minute lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It should read -1 because he's a shitstain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It should read:

8b9e54272288cab41618c63b9ae21eac

And if he spins around fast enough his hat will look as if the wojack rolling around is animated.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (3 children)

He is such a fucking narcissist, I can actually see him running with his ridiculous claim of the election being stolen, so he thinks 46 is his too. So in his mind he's 45, 46, and 47. I can honestly see him using this idiotic "logic", and his cult lapping it up.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The other bit of irony is that being the 46th would disqualify him from being the 47th

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

wouldn't it be awesome to get a case pushed up to the supreme court or something arguing that trump is ineligible to run for president because he "won" in 2016? it would just so perfectly highlight the hypocrisy of it all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Once he is dictator, 'Rule of Law' is going to be fundamentally-redefined.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Are these praying hands or a bird looking up ?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Then he would still just be 45....

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

He'd try to get the Supreme Court to ruke Biden's presidency was illegitimate and that he deserves an extra 4 years. If Trump gets elected it will be the end of democracy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

He also conspired in (ETA because I misremembered) the cover up of* torture and murder, not to mention raped people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly unsurprising if true, but can you provide a source of the murder stuff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Hmm, I seem to have misremembered. He just conspired to cover it up (as far as we know). I'll edit my post, thank you.
