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!

Trump and the rest of the right wing nutjobs want to seem powerful and unstopped. But the are not strong and fractured. I think we should get back to calling them weirdos again. It undercuts their aura of menace which is their only real power. Nothing scares right wingers than people different from them being themselves unsacred and proud. They are all a bunch of weirdos and should be called out for what it is.
I so fucking hate that someone pumped the brakes on that. Seeing Walz calling them weird was like manna from heaven, because it is so fucking TRUE. They are freaks and weirdos. Musk is a freak. Donvict is definitely a freak. That freak Mike Johnson and the porn sharing thing with his son? Marge, having a meltdown over a normal question about why the J6 terrorists were released?
None of them can be called even remotely normal.
Exactly. As much as they want to pretend like they are the "silent majority" but they are so weird. Weird obsession with everyone else's genitals, bathrooms and what people are doing in their own homes. Weird, weird weird
And call out the president for everything wrong anywhere in the world, calling for him to fix it. Call out every failure, constantly. Make him feel the weight of the presidency, the weight of each and every failure.
It sounds like you are suggesting that we attack via Trump's sense of shame. I don't feel like I need to explain why that's not going to work out.
Ego more than shame I would think.
Exactly. Show him what is going wrong. He can win elections because he promises everything. You can not deliver anything
What a brave call to action. Why didn't the Allies think of that??
