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!

The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

Why does he keep posting this stuff on Truth Social. He just looks so amateure. Which other world leader posts on social media like this?

Bibi's stopped taking his calls.

We already did all this. I guess most people were - in boarding school or something, idk, but we did allll of this before.

He’s a demented malignant narcissist. For the moment, forget that he’s a rapist, a crook, a fraud, corrupt as the day is long, a tool of russia, and so very, very far from whatever the ideals idiot evangelicals think he embodies.

He only has one filter: how does [insert subject] benefit him? There are NO other considerations; he is incapable of them.

From there he goes to the most direct way to achieve the benefit to himself. If one does not exist he follows the Clap-o-meter, or, failing that, whatever the last thing was that someone next to him said.

It produces such very sad, incompetent chaos. Anyone who didn’t do something to stop him should be very ashamed. But, like trump, the cult doesn’t “do” shame and so here we are again.

A lot of them unfortunately, at least in Europe every other news article quotes a politican's Twitter post

A president who must say „I am the president“ is no true president . -Tywin Lannister

Only me can decide to bomb Iran!!!!!!!!

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Turns out bombing doesn't dissuade either country. Who could've known?

How bad is the middle east when trump feels like he has to be the adult in the room.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

He doesn't feel anything of the sort. He is just whiney because they won't allow him to be seen as this masterful peace negotiator (after just having dropped bombs on Iran) so he can get a Nobel Peace Prize.
