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!

Whoever produced The Apprentice should commit seppuku in atonement for helping Trump build his platform.
OH NO, NOT THE F-WORD.
Seriously, why the fuck is this news?
If Obama had said “fuck” in office, wouldn’t have been 24/7 for two weeks on Fox News?
Faux News isn't news, so what's your point?
He would have been impeached and we would never have heard the end of the outrage from Fox.
So they have the excuse to write "trump explodes" in the headline
There was no ceasefire
The odds of us experiencing a loser of this caliber again in our lifetimes is pretty slim.
Interestingly enough, the odds of me ever having a shred of respect for this country again in our lifetimes is also pretty slim.
They'll have to have the cannon custom made.
Unfortunately people like Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, JD Vance, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and more still exist.
The entire admin and half the country are losers of this caliber, you're drowning in them. Nice thought though.
I think people are underestimating how big a loser Trump is. Like the people supporting him are losers, but it takes quite a bit to approach his unprecedented levels of loserhood.
Closer to a third. Maybe two thirds if you include the lazy fucks that couldn't be bothered to stand in line for a few minutes.
What blows my mind is even in states like Washington, California and Oregon, which utilize mail-in voting, only about 75% of registered voters participated. How hard is it to check some boxes and fling the letter in the mailbox?

Who would have thought that bringing peace to the Middle East would be so difficult?!
His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this. He's been willing to do deals nobody else would make just to get that recognition, and it's ironically inflaming more conflict.
The best news I read is that his nomination was withdrawn so now he's extra yippy.

Muslims and Jews have been fighting each other for nearly 3000 years.
If anyone thinks they're going to be the one person who can stop that conflict, they're absolutely delusional.
But Islam was founded 1400 years ago
In this case I meant the literal definition of Muslim, not just Islam. The Persians were fighting Judeans back in 500 BC over the same land. It's still the same conflict, just under a different name millenia later.
I meant the literal definition of Muslim, not just Islam.
And what is that supposed to be?
The English definition is a follower of Islam 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
If you take the translation from Arabic "someone in submission to the will and law of God” then I don't see how that would not apply to religious Jews as well.
So it would really help your argument if you could provide a source that shows any significant meaning of Muslim outside the context of Islam.
What a stupid comment
Not that I don't like to see him miserable but if saying fuck counts as a meltdown, I meltdown every time I speak. Honestly, its not even a signifier of stress, its more likely to signal your being genuine
How many times can you recall a president cursing when talking to reporters? Even Trump doesn't curse much in his tweets or press briefings. So it's definitely notable.

Context matters. Someone using profanity more often than they otherwise would in the same context is generally a signifier of stress or excitement.

WE understand that. Someone deluded themselves into thinking that a couple bombs would magically produce peace. This is not a Harry Potter movie, so Explosio Nocturna did not work.

Peoples fucking dying
Cannot print fuck
He said fuck for fuck's sake
It's a word. I'm getting broken down by the amount of censorship on the internet, particularly Youtube. Their guidelines only state to withhold any uncensored cursing or content deemed only suitable for mature audiences for the first fifteen seconds, to avoid being tagged as mature and the video viewcount and profit largely reduced. A very small price to pay for freedom of human expression and life. But channels take this much further than the relatively mild corporation's rules, such as:
- Censoring or obscuring all expletives deemed by Christianity to be foul
- Censoring or obscuring all words describing a sensitive subject (e.g. rape, sex, sexual, abuse, murder, suicide, kill)
- Censoring any moment in which a being is subject to any form of impact, whether accidental, assault or police abuse
These actively block and suppress conversing about real issues, leading to more harm, more assault, and more silent victims. Every time the word suicide is censored signifies to me that another person has committed suicide because they weren't heard. This has been proven to be correlation.
Censorship of human life, experience and expression not only insults my personal ideals of life and freedom, but actually causes more harm, and I cannot forgive that.

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?” he told reporters Tuesday morning on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague.
Everybody has understood that for decades.

Didn't they settle everything in the middle east under his first term? The Saudis sent Trump's inept, unqualified, security risk son in law nepotism hire Jared Kushner billions to manage afterward to get rich from to celebrate the long lasting peace they negotiated /s
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
At some point even he has to realize that he's a joke right?
Like even his syphillitic brain can't not see what's right in front of him forever, can it?
To other world leader's he's a joke. Someone who they can stroke his ego to get whatever they want, and then ignore him entirely and do whatever they feel like anyway.
"Israel..don't drop those bombs" Israel had no intention of listening to him. Russia had no intention of listening to him. They make his sense of self importance skyrocket and so they say whatever they need to say to get him to do whatever THEY want him to do, and then don't listen to him the rest of the time.
Is he really this fucking stupid?
At some point even he has to realize that he’s a joke right?
Nah. Narcissism is a hell of a drug.
Is he really this fucking stupid?
Yes. Trump definitively answered the question of whether a complete, total, utter, absolute, unconditional moron can fail upwards and be fabulously wealthy.
This is what generational wealth in an ultra-capitalist society with a different justice system for the wealthy can produce. A monster. A stupid fucking monster.
