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!

Oh dude, he totally is! You shouldn’t vote for him as a result!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, considering his donors and political allies, was there ever a time that he wasn't a part of the deep state?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

He's been part of the deep state of Russia since at least the '90s.

Tate sounds more unhinged than Trump here

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

How the turn tables.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

All aboard the Deep State Trump Train!!!! Next stop, a new Depends probably!

[–] [email protected] 99 points 5 months ago (7 children)

Trump's "dementia" is really caused by a CIA 5G microchip implanted in his brain. During the attempted assassination, the second shooter in the grassy knoll fired a microchip implant gun that penetrated the wound left by the first shot, thus providing the perfect cover. Now Trump's thoughts are controlled by sympathetic bioresonant microwave thetan energy waves captured by the microchip from dark stealth satellites.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Satellites? Pfft. Only someone from the deep state would say that. The earth is flat, with a firmament. Satellites are a NASA lie. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately, flat earthers don't think satellites don't exist, they just think they use balloons to keep them up there. Shocking, I know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Satellites, yes. DARK STEALTH satellites, no. Flat earth orbital physics, suppressed by the Deep State physics establishment, forms a neutronic orthogonal data relay between dimensional synapses thus facilitating global hive mind control.

...thus spoke the mysterious "R", also known as "R-anon"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I knew it! QR codes have been gathering the data to transform Q into R, every time they are scanned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

If you cross your eyes while looking at QR codes, the Democratic Party's subliminal group pacification runes become visible, and you realize that their true purpose is to condition the public to eliminate AR-15s and other freedom weapons, subverting the Founding Father's Constitutional liberal jettison clause in the 0th Amendment.

All my microchip from the vaxx does is give me 1200 in an account every month....hmmm

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Um sir its illegal to leak trade secrets like that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

That was fanrastic

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

What a glorious stream of word-diarrhoea, I love it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Trump was replaced by Kenyan Trump after the shooting.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 months ago

Back in 2016 he claimed he was so rich he'd finance the campaign out of his own pocket.

That was five minutes before he started gobbling up donations.

“Now it feels like, I don’t know, like they’ve kind of—I don’t wanna say buck-broken him, but there’s definitely a lot of consultants around,” Owens continued, using a term referring to physically punishing or sexually assaulting a male slave in front of other slaves to humiliate him.

wtf. What an awful, and completely stupid, comparison. And who the hell uses this term in conversation as if it's normal?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

who the hell uses this term in conversation as if it’s normal?

Same people who use "cuck".

Candace is also a fan of Hitler for "the economics," so that's just who she is as a person.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Lol Hitler's "economic miracle" was borrowing money from the Jews and the Soviets and then attempting to exterminate them so he wouldn't have to pay them back. Not really repeatable today even if it didn't involve genocide.

Right wing politics is always so hell-bent on lionising failed economic systems.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is not out of the norm for right wing blather. Cucking is the most used sexual humiliation term they throw around. However they use terms they feel attack masculinity all the time. Terms for sexual humiliation, terms used towards slaves that aren't just the N word, and more than I feel like typing out, all surrounding subjugation, particularly with a sexual bent. Humiliation, at least perceived, towards their masculinity, sexuality, sexual prowess, to them, are some of the worst things they can possibly conceive happening. So you see a lot of this shit in their safe spaces.

I suspect that the Venn Diagram of right wing porn enjoyers and people who like black men on white women/cuckold porn is a circle.....

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

wouldn't be a bit surprised if most right wing, public figures, have a search history heavy on cucking, trans women, gay porn, and interracial

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

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well, he's got a list:

  1. Bigot: Closeted Homosexual.
  2. "They've buck-broken him" - I literally never heard this until now, which means he's also a closeted gay sub. Not bottom, a sub.
  3. Putting the whole picture together? This guy watches gay humiliation bdsm and is so ashamed of it his bigotry has come full bounds where of he sees it happening in contexts outside of sex it reminds him of his shame.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

While this is a nice pet theory, Candace Owens is a woman, so not really sure that being a gay man really checks out here unless Candace is also secretly trans. She is also black so the use of slavery vocabulary could be some weird race-based self-hatred or something.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A deep state of confusion eyo!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Underrated comment here, folks.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Let's not bring this "underrated comment" nonsense from reddit, k?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Let's not police people's choice of internet idioms to express their agreement with or approval of a comment or post. If we wanted to fight every stupid or nonsensical idiom, we'd be fighting forever. Ain't nobody got time for that.

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

Oh sorry. I haven’t used Reddit in years and have been here for longer than 9 days, k?
