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!

Well he did get it from brown people.
Don't worry, they'll change their tune once they get their marching orders from Fox News et al. They are nothing if not utterly predictable.
coincidentally this happens hmm I wonder king grift
Saudi has its own money. They don't need to take from Medicaid, Medicare, and safety nets. Let's see, Cut off aid to Africa, Defund veteran programs. but give 600 billion to Saudis.
All in Trumpcoin
They would vote for him again anyway. We need to get used to this: The only thing he could do that would stop them from supporting him is literally murdering them, and with their dying breaths, they'd whisper, "I probably did something to deserve it. MAGA!..."
Confirmation bias gets intense the more people sacrifice to their chosen world view. They are buried in their cognitive dissonance.
"Dying is a liberal hoaxxxxx!"
MAGA won't do shit about this cause they're just jealous they didn't get their own 747s.
all the ones i see have yet to ever voice a single critical opinion about him
I doubt that.
I expect that, if pressed, they'd register some mealy-mouthed quasi-criticism, simply because there's no possible way to even convincingly pretend that it's justifiable, let alone acceptable. But that's just mouth noises - they're never going to actually take a meaningful position against it or against anything elseTrump says or does, simply because, at this point, continuing to support Trump requires so much dishonesty and misrepresentation that if they start questioning any part of it, there's too great a chance that the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down, and they'll be revealed as angry, toxic fools, and they can't allow that.
You know, it's great that MAGA finally shows some decency. But here's the thing: fuck MAGA.
I wouldn't say they're showing some decency. Even when they oppose corruption, they're opposing corruption that would likely curb US imperialism in the Middle East because Qatar definitely doesn't want US bombs falling on Yemen, Gaza or Iran. It's actually weird how they're this consistent about being evil.
Or surprise surprise. King in chief wants a palace. Mags has Trump derangement syndrome. Is when a person shows you exactly who they are but you create a different morale version in your head.
