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!

Whiny bitch doesn't understand no one likes him
I think he does understand and is bitter Bobby, for it. A long time ago, I read an article that said he'd tried to elbow his way into Palm Beach society and was rebuffed as a loud, obnoxious, vulgar buffoon, came back when he had more money, bought Mar-a-Lago and was this time accepted. Not because of grace, social skills or any redeeming quality but money, meaning he probably very well understands he would have no friends, no loyalty, if he hadn't the means to buy these things, while failing to understand he isn't bright, funny, or valuable as anything other than a pawn. And he's probably very lonely -- money is a cold mistress, and fickle, too. I think he very well understands the consequences of slipping from money, power and usefulness, which is exactly why he fights so hard to keep these things. It isn't because he overvalues himself, but because he very much undervalues himself, thereby placing emphasis and desperate hope on the public, but very false image he's cultivated, with a lot of help from outside entities with much to gain from doing so. Otherwise he would be facing himself in the stark light of what way deep down, the subconscious knows - he's spent his time, money and energy on things everyone has told him_should_ make him happy, and absolutely nothing on what could make him happy, which is being a person he can live with, should distractions fade away.
Let's let the value judgement here be, do we really want the worst parts of ourselves leading us, individually or collectively? Because what we choose individually leads to the outcome.
