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.
- 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.
- 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!

"Trump can't accept ... . So he's spiraled into conspiracy theories." That pattern can be applied to most of Donnie's ventures lol

Trump is the Crystal Pepsi of politics. Basically poison, crushed-up bugs and baby oil flavored sugar water. Totally transparent, and dragging down the brand.
Hell, even Tab Clear was better. Source: the cafeteria at my high school stocked both back in the day. They were both bad
edit: Tab Clear was a thing!
Never heard about Tab Clear, but the Crystal Pepsi reference checks out ✔️
spiraling into
He's been doing conspiracy corkscrews since he accused the Central Park Five of the murder of a jogger who is alive to this day.
This is just more of the same old Trump. Only difference is how many people are still buying the act.
Always say you won. Even when you lost.
For those of you playing at home, this is a classic narcissist trait on display right now.
Are you "into conspiracy theories" if you're the one starting them?
His brain is like mashed potatoes at this point, almost everything he regurgitates is something his staff prints out for him every morning (how he gets his "news"), TV, or some wild troll farm coming to his social feed. He then sees these things and runs with them because he has no critical thinking skills at all. That is why his handlers try and talk to him through the TV appearances and op eds that could be printed for him.
The pets stuff was from Fox and others knowing it wasn't legit but putting it out for Trump to pickup, though probably for his rallies, as at the debate it did not land.
He should do another debate to redeem himself.
In a mirror. He would win bigly.
why should he? he won so much he is just tired of winning...
Trump can’t accept his poor debate. So he’s ~~spiraled into~~ continued with conspiracy theories.
This is just a preview of eventual election loss
