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!

Life hell? Do any of you feel that Trump’s life has ever been “hell?”
He's gotten away with a lot and supposedly has a lot of money, but to be honest I really don't envy him. He seems miserable inside.
I actually have some sympathy for young Trump, in the same way I feel a little bad for young Kissinger because he was beaten up by Nazis. Fuck everything about who he’s become and what he's done, burn him at the stake. But from what I’ve heard about his childhood and family that was probably a really shitty way to be a kid
Yeah it sucks that his mom was pretty absent and his dad was basically a sociopath, but not everyone with garbage parents grows up to oversee the deaths of millions.
No doubt, he’s not absolved in any capacity. I just feel bad for the actual child he once was, not the man that child became
I feel this way about Barron Trump every time I see him. He's barely got any chance of leading a decent, moral life. I guarantee mental health issues have already begun to manifest. For fuck's sake his dad named the kid after his alter ego, John Barron.
I comfort myself with the fact that pretty much every waking moment of his life has been hell-- he's just too dumb to realize it.
He's never accomplished or learned anything, known love or had a friend, and his family either hates him or are sycophantic extensions of his own ego. A lifetime of shitting in gold toilets will never change the fact that he's a failure that made everything and everyone he touched worse, and will be logged in history books as the puppet figurehead that more intelligent fascists used for their own purposes.
He shits in his pants now!
He (and his allies) had to take 10 years of Greta Thunberg scolding him. He’s pretty thin skinned.
I don't think it's been 10y. I just checked and she's 22 now. She started protesting with she was 15. So more like 7y. That would have been during the 1st Trump admin I guess.
I don’t either. It’s a quote from JD Vance.
It's a figure of speech. Nobody thinks she made his life actual, literal hell.
No shit Sherlock
The person you're responding to is not actual literal Sherlock Holmes, FYI.
I see what you’ve done there. ;)
Was going to say... a bit like saying "the one who's closest to reaching jupiter".
