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!

"He's authentic. We need a lot more of that in American politics," one user replied.

Some believed the event to have been spontaneous, but owner Javiel Rodriguez told News 12 that the visit had taken a few days to coordinate.

Barbers wore "Make Barbers Great Again" shirts, mimicking Trump's "Make America Great Again" message frequently seen on merchandise.

So anyway, what's with Newsweek these last few weeks? Seems to me their news vehicle last few weeks has had the right turn signal stuck on hard and Trump-branded truck nutz.

You think after the 2 publicly known assassination attempts that the Secret Service is going to let him just go get a random haircut- maybe even a straight razor shave- from someplace they haven't vetted?

they anal probed the cockroaches to make sure they weren't part of a plot.

The media has always given Trump special treatment and carried water for him. That’s why he constantly whines about the media being “unfair.”

You only posted this to two communities. What’s wrong? Are you having an off day?

Riiiiigght. He's super authentic. Because most people call ahead to plan the visit, have a team who travel ahead to setup extra lighting, have a barrage of security out front closing an entire city street, has no other purpose to be there because he has a team of stylists who follow him around with tubs of orange makeup and gallons of hairspray, and have also otherwise never visited this neighborhood or business.

Y'know, just a regular old relatable guy.

It's certainly an oddity (a GOP person running for national office while campaigning so hard in a locality that's so blue). People like sharing odd things online, I suppose.
