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!

Literally not. Imagine talking about a topic and your opinion on it forces you to be defending it?
People here are just genuinely incorrect about how he handled the military.
Except you literally were. And yes, people here are genuinely incorrect about how he handled the military. They keep saying that he had no choice, and it was out of his hands, and it wasn't his fault, when it was a choice that he clearly made and then bragged about.
It literally wasn't his choice and it was in his hands but alongside so many others. He's not the king bro you don't seem to understand that. You also don't seem to understand he's not making these missions he has people under him.
Do you have a job? How many times does the boss set an expectation and you or a coworker miss it? You're being intentionally ignorant, obtuse, and just dishonest.
Most people here are repeating Republican talking points. He's a warmonger who literally decreased the amount of war and avoided open conflict the best he could? What a terrible warmonger.
It literally was explicitly his choice. He is literally the Commander-in-chief. He had every opportunity to pull out, but chose to brag about killing people instead.
If he had told everyone that we were ending our wars, and they didn't follow through properly, that'd be on them, not him. Instead he continued on, killing innocent people and joked about it.
Learn about your own government and what commander in chief means.
Go learn who dictates legal authority over the military in matters of declaring a war, funding a war and legally ending one. A president can broker peace agreements but he's not the king.
You literally do not understand your own government and this why when Trump does as he pleases people don't seem to understand what is appropriate and not.
