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.

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.

Obama looks like a fun fella to have a talk with, Trump looks like a spoiled rich kid who you just know is obnoxious to talk with
If you need to try to be cool, youre automatically not cool.
He looks and acts like a demented pedophile. That's because he is those things.
True now. But he was not demented and maybe not a pedophile, when that picture was taken.
If he didn't rape you first
The only kind of derangement syndromes that ever made any sense as terms are these: Clinton Derangement Syndrome, Carter Derangement Syndrome (some of the really old fucks spent a lot of their time grumbling about FDR, even), California Derangement Syndrome, and biggest of all: Obama Derangement Syndrome.
The right lost their freaking minds over Obama. They were always a bubbling cauldron of shit, but things got real unhinged when Obama was elected.
When the right talks about "TDS", they are just so full of total shit. Noticing the crimes and incompetence and idiocy and character flaws and the health decline of Donvict is not a goddamned "syndrome" it's someone talking about reality.
Anyone that talked about "long form birth certificates" at length for eight fucking years and beyond loses any right to talk about anyone else having a syndrome, LOL.
TDS exists. Everyone on the right seems to be affected by it.
Oh, absolutely that form of it does. Derangement is a great descriptor of a cult.
The ones that baffle me are those who go on a tirade of things they hate about Trump, and then say that they’ll be really annoyed when they vote for him next time. They’d never change their vote, just scowl and complain
It's always projection. Always.
Biff Tannen vibes on that Dear Leader picture.
That's who Biff was modeled after. I don't remember right now, but I think the director of BttF offered Trump the role.
OMG yes that's what it is!
Bro, this guy must wake up in cold sweats and warm filled diapers with nightmares of Obama. I know the right loves the line 'haha, the left is so obsessed with trump. TDS dur", but are they so blind to the fact that Obama haunts Trump everyday of every moment?
Even outside is politics, this guy is digging deep for something he can use to throw shade on Obama. The desperation is super cringy.
Just remember that drone striking kids doesn't make Obama a hero anymore than it does Trump.
He's like Shitty Walter Mitty.
