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!

60 Minutes has been such a fucking propaganda outlet since CBS got bought by Trump's billionaire buddy, Larry Ellison, and EVEN STILL, it's not enough for him.
Literally the most soft-ball interview imaginable, the interviewer read a short excerpt from the alleged shooter's manifesto about fighting pedophiles - it didn't even directly accuse him!!! - and he freaked out, started saying "I'm not a pedophile" and whinging about how disgusting and disgraceful the interviewer is for bringing it up.
It's the most self-reporting behavior imaginable.
He also said he's not a rapist but there is trial that says otherwise.
The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn't help but make it about himself.
Right, but he was never a leader. He's a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!
He doesn’t hide who he is because he’s never needed to.
Not just disloyalty, insubordination.
Isn't this how most people get caught? You say something in general then the accuser defends themselves. If he's not a pedo then release the files
I mean if you're constantly being accused of something you're sure of is false it's understandable you get ticked off if journalists keep throwing it in your face.
That being said, his response was completely out of line and I agree very telling. You'll notice everytime the guy is pushed into a corner he'll start attacking anyone in his vicinity. He always tries to discredit while himself spouting the most wacko unsupported claims.
How anyone can listen to the guy for more than 5 minutes and still think he's capable of running a country is beyond me.
No YOU illegally grow tobacco for the counterfeit cigarette black market!
