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!

Don't people ever wonder like me how people would react if Obama would post something like this in his term? I mean, talk about unhinged. Other world leaders look at this shit and be even more resolved to move on without the US. There will be a long, long time to even rebuild 20% of the trust.
How can MAGA look at this and think 'this is fine'?
The core will praise him for being tough and say it like what it is!
“Our kinda Christian!!!”
"He can talks like me! I cud understood his words!"
Correct use of an apostrophe at the end of fuckin'? Correct spelling of 'strait' ? Use of both upper and lower case letters. No way MAGA (or trump) would write like that
It’s all pretty easy to wrap your head around once you accept that they didn’t give a shit about Obama’s suits or condiments or even his words. He was black. Period. Everything else was manufactured outrage to try to get him out.
Trump is objectively a worse person in every way. Except his skin colour. What would have happened if Obama said or did any of the shit Trump gets praised for (let alone gets away with…)? He’d have been lynched.
America’s the shithole they project onto every other country.
But that's just the thing, this is the gutteral reaction to a well run presidency by a black man. Add to it the left swallowing the bait, hook, line, and sinker on the culture war (sorry folks, trans rights, while needed, do not make a platform) and corporate Democrats rolling over for money harder than Evel Knievel at Cedars Palace, and you have our present situation.
