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!

Since when does this dude give a shit about whales?
Since he saw one on that test he aced.
I desperately wish that somebody would ask Trump in an interview just the stupid question:
“Mr Trump, can you actually name a single species of whale that exists?”
I really don’t think he could. I think it would ruffle his feathers though, especially if you prefaced the question by stating most kids know at least 2 whales or something of the like. Set the bar super low, get him defensive about a silly dumb thing and then laugh at him when he can’t even clear it.
Bet he couldnt recite the alphabet. Dead serious.
We're taking about a guy who thinks a magnet gets destroyed if you pour water on it. There are a few things I'm pretty confident he knows - the toppings that come on a Big Mac, for instance - but it's not a big list.
There's no way he knows what the special sauce actually is.
I don't either, but I veritably never go to McDonald's, and never buy their burgers if I do.
"I've seen many whales before. They don't like windmills. I see them fly away as soon as they see a windmill. They say I'm the best at watching whales fly, did you know that?"
Whales? No. But he does care about being ~~king~~ president of America.
Let's be completely honest with ourselves now.
Ever since saying something which is contrary to the evidence about whales became a way to annoy people who care about them.
Gotta get ambergris somewhere
