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!

Let me get this straight...
Trump is worthy of the Nobel Prize because the vaccine says CEO of a company that made 80 billion dollars from it.
Trump meanwhile during the pandemic told people to take horse meds, drink bleach, and inject sunlight into their bodies.
Now that same Horse Pharmacist Regime, with Bobby (more experience as a heroin user than a doctor) Brainworm is trying to ban the very covid vaccines they previously came up with.
The mental gymnastics on this one would make Simone Biles blush.
methinks pfizer is doing an uno-reverse snooker kinda thing.
It’s one way for them to force RFK out and demand that vaccine requirements remain.
It’s honestly a fantastic move. It demonstrates a real understanding of the opponent and the new rules of the game.
It’s an appeal to vanity (a troll). Trump is wildly vain and if he thinks this qualifies him for a Nobel (it doesn’t) then he might just put the worm back in its jar for awhile.
I think this is legitimately it.
This isn't sycophantic, it's desperation. They're watching the future of their industry (mRNA) disappear right in front of them, along with the related money.
They need Trump to get it in his head that the vaccine makes him a hero, so that MAGA will come around on vaccines and keep them rich.
No doubt in my mind. I bet that hurt to come out and say publicly.
Maga won't come around on it though. They booed him as he was promoting the vaccine at one of his ego stroke rallies.
It doesn't matter. They can convince their supporters of literally anything. And even if they can't, they've been so successful at demonizing dems that their voters would sooner vote for the devil himself so long as he had on a red tie and an (R) next to his name.
That's Captain Roadkill Brainworm, thank you very much.
