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!

It is entirely within expectations of the fucked up timeline we've found ourselves in, though.
Call for treason and insurrection? Uproarious Cheering.
Fuck children? Endless defense and excuses (and cheering)
Wants to fuck his own daughter? "Well hell yeah, I'd fuck my daughter too if she looked like Ivanka!" - Disturbing number of republicans when looking at a pre-teen picture of her.
But say you look like Elvis? Oh my god, thats just so inhuman and so far fetched.
Politics works under WWE rules now. Trump is the heel they like. As long he's doing fucked up shit to the face characters, they keep on cheering.
Him trying to be a face character is bad because people only like him for being the heel.
Ayyy 🤌🏼 I feel ya, brother.
At least the daughter-fucking thing is very biblical.
I hope he verbally attacks her base. It'll seal the deal for his deserved fate.
Is there any evidence that anyone who cheered for him in the above is in that boat? I'm pretty sure it's a subset of the people upset about the treason, sexual assault, seemingly incestuous desires. Because speaking as someone who finds Trump utterly despicable, I fail to see why in the world I should care that he is vain enough to declare himself like Elvis. That's utterly harmless narcissism on normal scales, let alone grading on the Trump curve.
