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!

Why do it be like it is?
They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.
He lies because he's saying things his base wants to hear. He knows he has people who will believe whatever he says, no matter how senseless or extreme. And if confronted with facts that Trump is wrong, they'll justify it in some way: he's joking, or being sarcastic, or people are misinterpreting his equivocation. It's just ego masturbation
~~Why~~ Trump Is Lying ~~About Disaster Relief~~
Fascists lie to erode trust in the government institutions that help society function. If enough people think that the institution is broken, then those people don't mind a little rule breaking to put their guy in charge....after all everyone is breaking the rules.
Because he's a stupid dumbass
The problem is not what he is lying about this time
The problem is news services like NYT trying to normalize and accept that someone like Turnip should be presented as a sane public figure that has something to say.
Because he lies.
X is a solid wall of outrage over lack of government relief. What is nuts is these same people yelling are the same people that want to shutdown FEMA.
They honestly believe droves of good people would swarm in to save everyone in the flooded area.
Not them, of course. But they will certainly send some prayers or some shit.
It's because they're stupid and intellectually lazy on purpose.
Whenever a disaster strikes states A, B, and C in the US, States X, Y, and Z vote against giving them aid. And vice versa.
Not just that, there's a bunch of nutjobs that believe FEMA is using the disaster as cover to nationalize the lithium mines near Chimney Rock. There are groups organizing to try to hunt down first responders.
These MAGA nutjobs are just poison to this country. They will try to hurt the people that are trying to help them.
Because Trumpism is deeply anti-American; it holds the people and institutions of the US in contempt.
"The people serve the Empire! The Empire does not serve the people!"
-Trump probably.
Because he's a lying liar.
… who lies.
Why Trump Is Lying About Disaster Relief
Because he can't not.
Trump has been trying to exploit the natural disaster for political gain[.]
Can’t say I’m surprised. Seems to be expected.
