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!

Edit: as an aside, it was super funny to me to watch Trump deny he's obsessed with Golden Showers by saying he's a germaphobe.
Its like, dude, you and I both know full well that urine is sterile. What say u now?
It's not completely sterile, there is some bacteria: https://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/kidney-urinary/urine-sterile.htm
Sterile-ish
My take on his obedience to Putin: The problem with the Moskau piss video was not the pissing - it was the age of the pissers.
Even Trump could not get unharmed out of a CP trial.
If this video actually existed, how would it not have been leaked by now?
It's much more worth neatly stowed away in a safe in Moscow. Trump will always hop through every hoop that Putin has for him.
To Putin it is.
But he can’t be the only one with access to it.
Wait till Putin dies or until Putin no longer holds trump as his pet.
How great would that be? Like terrible for the girls but God I wish that
shittook aleak[all over him]Sterile-ish
If he was a true germaphobe, I doubt he would be having sex with anyone ever.
I think his whole germaphobe schtick is more of a "polonium tea avoidance"
Like yes, but also, he's known to frequent huge chains with well-established+enforced standarized practices.
Could be bullshit, his diet is uncannily similar to mine and that disturbs me but I think its an interesting line of inquiry for sure that potentially has more than one answer. I do buy into the Russian sabatoge angle even if its a cover for another adversary setting it up lile that. He's fucked a lot of people
Mighty charitable of you to assume he knows that.
Oh my gawd, you're damn correct. LMFAO, I think I simultaneously vastly overestimate him and under-under-estimate the fuck. He's got a lot of other smart people totally incapacitated in terms of evaulating what the hell is this guy and what is the level of sentience underlying it
His father must have been an absolute fucking monster. Also, I do strongly believe he hypnotizes the easily-hypnotizable or those who can be hypnotized at all
