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!

If there were any justice, Donny, you'd get impeached in November and put up against a wall with your entire family on Christmas Day.
Someone said it would be nice to be able to filter news for things Trump actually did than what he's said.
Unfortunately his words have an impact.
Coup
He is a putrid, lice-ridden tuft of anal pubic hair that’s been transplanted atop a grimy, tattered Egyptian mummy, that’s oft mistaken for a dried-up 6 foot tall, spray-tan colored toilet brush.
Is that Dickinson?

Honestly his being alive might be a net positive at this point. Republicans have now seen how far they can push the base. Once they get a slightly more competent psychopath in place we'll be five shades more fucked than we are already
I honestly hope he lives until October 2028.

Says right there... lol
Oh it's to help me! No further questions then.
I wondered that, too!
If they overturned the 2020 election would that make his current term illegal?
I think January 6 makes his current term illegal.
His knowing collusion with Russian agents makes his first term illegal.
His 34 felonies makes it illegal.
You'd think but Americans took a poll two years ago and they decided it didn't really matter much to them.
There is literally no mechanism by which that happens.
Practically speaking, the next President has to go through and undo all of this asshole's changes on paper, by signing new EOs and (in some cases) asking Congress for a law to sign. Most of it is administrative, so easy to undo without Congress.
We can't do anything about anyone he pardoned. They stay pardoned. Can't get around that, Constitutionally.
Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump
Anybody who's ever had to deal with someone with fronto-temporal dementia knows the symptoms.
I hate how much he reminds me of my late dad. Except my dad was well read and smart. Ah shit that's not fair. My dad was generally well intentioned. But the narcissistic bullying and emotional volatility and the blaming and the gaslighting tho...
Was your late dad my late dad?
Eventually we'll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons. Those people will be expected to return to prison to serve out their sentences, or they'll be declared fugitives, and an additional 10 years added to their sentence, no matter what the original sentence was.
And we'll finally figure out cold fusion and faster than light travel and a unified field theory and everyone will get a pony
One megawatt clean energy for every citizen!
I don't want a pony. I wouldn't mind a small dog or sweet kitty.
I don't want a pony. Could I get a Batmobile?
Eventually we'll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons.
Let me fix that for you:
Eventually he'll get his second term declared invalid, and use that as his reason for running for his third term.
That would require Dems to do something.
Yep, when the House and Senate flips in the Midterms, the new Congress will no longer be business as usual. They will get with the program, or they will suffer the consequences right along with the rest of the MAGAs. There are already a few who will have to answer for their incompetence, like the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries.
And John "the stroke didn't kill me but made me stupider" Fetterman.
There has to be some point where the congress critters decide this guy is just too unhinged to be in power, right?
If he had hired goons gut their families on live TV, maybe
The fact that this line appears not to be crossed already is the single most damaging aspect for the US
The line was absolutely crossed a few months into his first term.

Exactly. Can you imagine getting in the Obama tan suit days and having an administration try 1/100th of the crap this one is doing? It's amazing how trump has normalized high treason and rampant corruption.
He's just highlighting what was already true. Rich people can do what they like because they control the government and they have class solidarity.
Worse, they control the industry and the media.

It's always projection with this tiny dick chucklefuck pedo. He's trying to sow some chaos so he can call on them to come in clutch when he pulls fuckery during the midterms and take a "you owe me one" approach.
A child trapped inside an adult's body.
No wonder conservatives identify with him.
Pretty sure it was Trump's body that was inside the child.
