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!

This is absolutely brigading bullshit. Ain’t no fuckin way.
It's probably because most people that didn't approve didn't want to watch it in the first place because there's nothing useful to hear.
Yuuup. If I wanted to watch a guy suck himself off for two hours, I'd pick someone more attractive.
It's even worse because his mouth looks like an anus and his neck looks like a vigina. He's a Cronenberg fever nightmare.
I’d honestly rather watch Mr Hands and Pain Olympics on loop than subject myself to 90 minutes of utterly deranged and hatefully narcissistic verbal diarrhea
Yep, I heard lies and accusations for the 5 seconds I tuned in and turned it off.
Amongst other things he just got into office, very little to say, and yeah, this is a guy only good at giving speeches if you're listening to tone not words.
The only people willing to watch Trump spew two hours of straight lies are Trump supporters and political correspondents (and the large amount of overlap).
I have only a finite time on this pale blue dot, and I am definitely not going to spend more of it listening to what a walking combination of McDonald's characters (i.e. Mayor McCheese, Hamburgler, Grimace, and Ronald) has to say about the state of a country he's constantly trying to run into the ground.
I literally cannot watch the man speak anymore. I gave up in like 2018 or something. It's just the same incoherent misleading and nonsensical statements over and over. I can't understand how anyone can watch it. Even reading what he says is difficult.
Yep, almost certain a sampling bias.
Not much more scientific, but the YouTube suggestions showed me recordings from the speech from major national networks and they had like 1.5k, 1.2k, etc views. I gave that a chuckle.
I happened to watch the segment on those stats. They clearly stated the stats would be biased to Trump. People tend to watch the state of the union if their party won election, so those polled for this were heavily republican.
I'm I don't know... Muricans elected donald knowing full well what he was about to do...
I am certain trump is dumb and evil... I am NOT certain this is not what Muricans wanted
I sure hope so. If not america deserves every fucking thing it gets
It can't be true because it doesn't fit our world view.
