Rules:

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.

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.

Even if Trump left office today it would take us decades to recover from the damage he has done to us.

YUP. Our allies will never trust us - how could they share sensitive and secret information with the asshole country that let a former pres store national secrets in his fucking bathroom?

they shouldn't trust us. 5 eyes my ass...

Well, there was this whole spying on allied politicians thing Snowden uncovered, for which the US started a global manhunt.

The US always looked down on its "Allies" and it was always more of a protection racket than a true alliance.

for sure, but acting like we're not in a new, deeper low is simply unrealistic.
