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!

What people don’t seem to understand is that he sincerely believes that every other politician is as corrupt as he is, and is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden.

he is always confused when he doesn't get his way.. the reason doesn't matter.. he's a fucking 3 year old, and so are all of his supporters..

all he knows is those people make him sad, and he wants someone to make them go away

He actually admits this.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

To be fair, my temperament now isn’t that different than mine at 10. That’s a fairly common observation. The difference is that most of us weren’t wealthy, entitled little narcissists as kids.

nobody you should taste this Muesli it's fantastic.. or were you just being a cunt..

[–] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’m not the one who called a stranger an asshole because they had different life experiences than me. My response was a joke. Maybe you should reconsider who you think is being a cunt.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

i'll do that.. and then i'm gonna go on messing with assholes..

If those magats could read they'd be very upset with you.

Trump isn't symmetric; he has no concept of others' minds. His only ideas are about how he has what he wants. Calling for them in jail gets people to like him and gets his opponents out of the way. He isn't confused bc he doesn't care about correctness; any sense of misunderstanding is bc others are attacking him.
