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!

His base will lap it up. Plus, it feeds the outrage machine that sustains him.
This is actually peak comedy when you're a psychopathic child rapist.
Should knock Epstein out of the news cycle for at least a day or two.
And the whole of our civilization slides further towards the Doom...
I guess there's nothing else to do but rip and tear.
Yep straight out of the P2025 playbook. It's a shame we know that and yet every newsroom will still play into it.
Mainly America is heading that way. The rest of us will be happier when you fall. We are tired of you guys already
Michelle and Barack have both always polled much more highly than Trump. Sure it amps up his core base of bigots but what else does it really do?
Edit: Oh of course it distracts us from his brownshirt thugs and Epstein files. I should know this play by now.
There is no rock bottom for these people.
The only common people left in MAGA are the people who would gleefully laugh at this.
This isn't their bottom, it's their top. We need to act accordingly.
Every press question to his regime for the next few days should be do you condemn the President posting a blatantly racist video against a former president. Every question to Trump should be are you a rascist, why did you post the video. Don’t actually care about the dementia ramble Trump will spout. Watching the rest of his regime bend over backwards to defend one president but not another will just be evidence for their future trials
And by doing this, journalists would be taking the focus off:
- The Epstein files
- ICE
- Election meddling
- etc.
That's the plan.
Everything is a distraction form everything else.
There needs to be a hardline where pushback begins. Out and out racism seems like a good one based on the other things.
I feel like that is very much the case, and yet its horrifying that it seems to work. Like, how does the average American hear horror story after horror story and not care. Each incident just makes him look worse and worse to me.
Real journalists would be concentrating on the Epstein files instead of promoting the lies of a serial liar.
I don't follow TV media much, but every time I glance past it, I see stories about that one news readers mother being kidnapped. This country deserves everything it's getting.
There are no journalists left to do this thing.
I know
The ones who would will never get an interview.
Luckily this is the first racist thing trumpet has ever done...
How did we get here...
Is Trump racist?! Wtf? When did this happen? I wish there would have been clear evidence before this. He hid it so well.
He certainly has claimed to be the least racist person ever.
Dementia symptoms aside, we either need to remove him or prosecute him
There is the execution route too let’s not forget
Americans have been executed for so much less. I don't even think this is a controversial statement.
That would just be the justice system working as designed.
Trump is a criminal who has committed first degree murder, is a traitor to the constitution, has raped children..... the only reason it's considered controversial to suggest the state should execute him is because he's in charge, nothing more. Ethically and logically it's a totally fair statement.
Arrest him, have a trial, and if the evidence shows he is what we all think he is, then let him serve the same punishment as any other American would. And that would be treating him better than he deserves.
They said it was just a meme but that didn't work so now they deleted it and are blaming it on a staffer.
If you're not American and you buy their shit when you have an alternative, you are part of this.
I'm so glad I live in a country where racism is a crime
Oh, is it monday yet?
Berlusconi dissed Schulz with "I'll put in a good word for you as the kapo" and it looks like amateurs' hour in comparison to this
In other news this page removed my criticism of Israel for “antisemitism” . I’m going to argue that racism is a much bigger problem in this country and criticism of Israel is not antisemitism because Israel is a country not a religion
