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!

I have a theory about his really inappropriate use of words like "love" and "beautiful."

He's a severely broken Socio/Psycopath, and has no concept of normal human emotions, how they feel, and when or how they should be addressed.

Most people like that at least understand that they have to learn to fake it so they can get by in life, but he's a rich, entitled, incredibly spoiled nepo-baby, who never had to learn to fit in, so he never really learned how to fake it.

But he has learned that others expect it of him, so he gives it a half-assed try, because he can't be bothered to do anything well, unless it brings him profit. So he sprinkles these words into his conversation, not really understanding if they are in an appropriate context, so they usually arent, of course. And he doesn't really care that much anyway.

That's how we get statements about he and Kim Jong Whatever "falling in love," and trading "beautiful love letters." Or say that the Nazis showed "love" to the Jews because he probably had some Nazi sympathizer (likely Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, or Steve "Unwiped Asshole" Bannon) tell him story about a German giving a piece of bread to a Jewish prisoner.

In reality, he doesnt know what love actually is, or how it feels, and he doesn't understand what makes anything truly beautiful, because that would require a sense of awe at something wonderful. Same with humor, music, friendship, etc. Concepts like those are not possible for him.

So he randomly tosses these incomprehensible (to him) buzzwords around, hoping that it will demonstrate that he's not the breath-takingly broken socio/psychopath that he truly is.
