Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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'm not ~~crazy~~ weird! My mother had me tested!
Funny thing about trump is that he is even bad at right wing politics. He is always insisting on how important economy is whilst in the reality, US indices rose far more during Biden.
What even qualifies as a "normal" speech from Trump at this point?
The abnormal is normal when it comes to Trump.
Did you ever see him go on the stage and go, like, crazy?
No, but I’ve seen Trump go, like, crazy
What an extremely weird headline. Modern politics suck so much.
Any man who must say "I am normal" is not truly normal.
Same shit stain said he was a "very stable genius".
That one still makes me laugh. He's a dumb motherfucker.
Trump: I'm rubber, and you're glue, and the things you say bounce off of me because ALL YOUR TEMPERAMENTS ARE TRASH AND I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S CALM!!!
Lester: Mr. Trump, your head is now literally a giant red steam whistle.
Trump: ... My microphone isn't working.
Greetings fellow normal people! What a typical day we're having.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and my pseudopods are moist and twitching!
What a weird thing to say.
I’m like the normalest person you’ve ever met. In fact I did a normalcy test and I passed it with flying colours.
Ah that's funny, I thought leaders were supposed to be extraordinary. Why would we want to elect a regular Joe to office?
Im so normal they say I’m so - and then the doctor, wonderful doctor he said “Sir, it’s a miracle! There are so many un-normal” - we call them un-normal now you know - it’s very terrible what they’re doing. He came up to me, tears in his eyes and says “you’re so normal we’ve never seen anyone more normal”. And could you believe it, Crooked Joe is not normal. He’s un-normal
I don’t know, but it gave us W.
It was so strange, the most normal the guy ever saw. Outrageously normal he said. Almost unusually normal.
More like extremely anoying
I'm noRmal and I goT a paPer proving it!!
When you have to tell people you are "normal", it's a big tell that you are, WEIRD, not normal.
Truth with implications.
And not the good kind of weird that wears the term as a badge of honor, but the bad kind of weird that verges on creepy with how much it insists that it isn't weird.
We're bigly normal!
And I am extremely weird... and proud.
"Weird" feels like it'd only an insult if you're obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you're allowed to exist in society.
Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they're kinda weird, and they're that upset about it... maybe a red flag?
Well said. Everyone is at least a little weird, and it's pretty relatable feeling. But when your whole lifestyle is based around conformity and hatred of non conformers, it becomes a grave insult.
Thank you for opening my eyes, guys.
The best normal. what a weird throwback.
Very criminal, very weird
