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!

A racist, sexist, bigot, unrefined bumbling moron who was born into huge wealth and still managed to lose money to the average market, did a whole lot more than just slip ups.
My brother in Christ you can't possibly compare gassing people out of a church for a quick anti-christ photoshoot with misplacing a word.
And don't even dare bringing up drugs. Like the Don and Donnie aren't high as fuck.
You know why no one cares about Hunter? He's not in the White House. You know who was? Someone elses kids.
So yes, Orange Man bad. Very very bad, that's why he's being sued from every possible angle, because he broke so many laws. Don't act like it's anywhere close to comparable.
Tldr
Biased as fuck towards the extreme left
Thanks, I will look else where for actual news about current President and what's happening
Butting in here. I'm a stark centrist.
..Trump was an absolute shit show. With Trump, the right lost all claim to moral high ground -- which is incredibly unfortunate, because it hands the left the keys to the castle. Sure, Trump had some good policy decisions, in some areas. But it wasn't worth the cost. The right sacrificed their morals for power, amd lost their power in the process, plain and simple.
..now they'll slowly need to rebuild, and as they do, the left will be implementing so much naive and corrupt shit that the nation will be paying for it for the next 50 years* - and that's how the right will be paying for Trump, the 'right wing' poster boy who has no real right wing ideals.
*or, would be, if we weren't headed for total financial ruin
Can you name them?
But again, irrelevant. Post the shitshow Biden is doing, he is the current standing president yet people can't seem to let trump go because what? That's what you're told?
I didn't say Biden was doing any good. The topic was Trump. Why I don't let go of Trump's presidency is because he's decimated the right's claim to ant kind of moral authority. There are other presidents I don't let go of, but they weren't topical.
