Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 about people's gender

Trump about sexuality

I wonder if he knows that the Nazis also went after lgbtq people.

When a guy you’re supporting blatantly plagiarizes their rhetoric, it’s probably something he should be aware of.

Edit: also, everyone was misled about WMD’s in Iraq. By the bush admin.

This dude is lying to everyone who will listen, including himself, lol.

True republican through and through

Nazis had all sorts of different collaborators, I guarantee some Democrats are Nazis.

They used to say that they believed in freedom of religion, but that Islam wasn't a religion but an ideology. It was just a talking point from the 25 point platform with jew replaced with muslim. Now they just say that the founders didn't actually mean separation of church and state.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

Technically true since he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. The people he’s surrounded with, however, care an awful lot.

[–] Delusional 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Of course he doesn't care about people's gender or sexuality. He only cares about 1 thing and that is himself. He couldn't give a shit if every other American died as long as he wins. He's just using whatever he can to get more idiots to vote for him.

Alternative title: delusional person seemingly needs to read up on the Night of the Long Knives. The "log cabin republicans" will be some of the first up against the wall when the Sons of Jacob seize power, believe that.

yeah right. only gay speaker.

[–] CharlesDarwin 4 points 4 months ago

Only (openly) gay speaker.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Someone should tell him about a guy named Martin Niemöller.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ernst Rohm seems more fitting

Oh... Wait, wait, wait! I get guys! He's saying Trump literally doesn't care about your race, gender rights, or sexuality, because if you're gay, trans, brown, or whatever you're wrong and evil!

Phew...

I thought they had actually decided that all those lousy subhumans were actually equal or something... It'd be a shame if there was some sort of fake news website documenting all the times Trump stripped away basic human rights from minorities... That'd be terrible!
