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!

Of course he has, and anyone who thought he wasn’t was blissfully naive.

Hm, so weird.

I thought this was conspiracy theory, at least according to the corporatist media, the Elevated Centrists, and certainly Donvict himself.

The Norwegian leader said Trump’s message was a reply to an earlier missive sent on behalf of himself and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, in which they conveyed their opposition to the tariff announcement, pointed to a need to de-escalate, and proposed a telephone conversation among the three leaders.

“Norway’s position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter,” the Norwegian leader said in a statement. “As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained, including to President Trump what is well known, the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government.”

So this wasn't even just a random letter. This was written as a reply to having already had his dumbshittery explained to him clearly. He just flat out doesn't listen to people at all and/or has a five year olds understanding of government where he thinks "leader" means "unilateral control of every choice made by every individual or group in the country." It's one thing to have this out of nowhere, it's another for the Prime Minister to have already fucking explained to him that he has no control over who the Nobel committee chooses to award their prize to and have this dumb motherfucker write back a letter showing his fucking ass about how fucking stupid and averse to reality he is. He just thinks if he keeps repeating it his own words make it true.

Trump is absolutely the dumbest fucking asshole alive.

I wonder if that's because he's a lying pederast? It's probably because he is a big fat orange lying pederast that wants to eat babies and rape young girls against their will.

Amongst other reasons.. absolutely. He's also a gangland thug wannabe.

Just an absolute punk bitch with "Daddy" issues.

Someome get the mashed potatoes.
