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!

That piece of shit makes me so angry. I wish he'd die already so we didn't have to hear about him anymore.

Your anger is precisely what Trump is looking for. Don't give it.

It's rage-bait attention seeking done by an insecure, immature man.

Get past it and just pivot to it being an old man in the throes of dementia.

(..which it is..)

THAT will piss him off, as his father, Fred Trump, went down HARD from the disease. It's Trump's existential terror, if what his niece, Mary Trump, has said about it is true. So far she's been 100% accurate.

"Grampa Dementia" is following in his dad's footsteps. Poor Donny can't help himself, it's the disease, after all, doing the speaking for him...

That is all.

Trump was scum long before the demntia kicked in.

Ignoring this normalizes it and I absolutely fucking refuse.

It's not about ignoring it, it is about the response that will make Trump even more petulant than he already is..

Please believe me, I'm just as disgusted, angry and nauseated by this as anyone.. but I'll NEVER give that prick or any of his dick-sucking followers the satisfaction of thinking they've gotten under my skin.

If you have learned a bit of how the asshole rolls, this is all there to just get attention, to show himself off as being a belligerent tough guy and the absolute worst thing he can be faced with is people just going "ho-hum, it's his dementia.. tsk, tsk.. poor thing, he really needs help.."

It's how you get under his skin... with the visciousness of paper cuts.

Never forget, revenge is best served cold.
