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!

I may have never read a more delusional, tone-deaf, preposterous, and wholly fabricated crock of bullshit in my entire life. Does he dream these things up himself or does he somehow still have yes-men who feed these hallucinations to him?
What the fucking hell? I mean, even the most die-hard Trump-is-my-god-emporer-forever-I-will-topple-democracy-for-him maga has got to know that this is absolute horseshit, right?
Remember when Trump took out a 1 page ad in the paper calling for the death penalty for the central park 5?

Even better, he continued AFTER they were exonerated, got a settlement, and someone else confessed and was convicted based on DNA evidence. If there’s one thing this chump can’t do, it’s ever admit he was wrong. Oh, and another, he can’t just stfu about something.

It's important to point out they were all cleared after the fact and were released after serving years in prison. NYC settled with The Exonerated 5 for $41 million dollars.

Fox news told him black-voters like him because of this golden sneakers..
So in his brain right now, he thinks black-voters like him,
Thinking why that is, he knows black people historically were treated unfair by the court system, and apparently he is too,
So he thinks himself a genius with smart gene's that he linked those two thoughts together, and thinks that's another reason why black-voters must like him.
He's been spitting out everything he can hoping some victimization will stick... Jew prosecution, Navalny, etc. Dude's a moron, and I still can't believe there are people dumb enough to be fooled by such low effort manipulation.
It's been less than a week since a Fox News said black people love the idea that Trump is releasing a line of sneakers. Buckle up, this won't be the most tone deaf thing you read this year.
I bet you anything that he comes up with the early versions of these crazy ideas then tells them to some personal bootlicker who then repeats them back the next day, to distract him from bad news. His brain is such swiss cheese that he thinks it is the first time hearing it. Repeat a few times and now it is fact.
I don't remember where I read this, and I'm hoping someone may remind me, but it's a purity/loyalty test for fascists to say ridiculous, reality-defying things to their audience.
