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!

Melania and Donald are both vile humans who totally deserve each other.
Yep, I had sympathy for her, presuming her to be a mail order bride who was in over her head, until she started adding her own signature cruelty on top of her husband's.
They deserve each other.
This did it for me. When she wore this specific jacket for the first and last time when on a "humanitarian" tour of the child border immigration camps. A tour that was promoted by the brutal "familiy separation" policy that separated migrant families and kept NO RECORDS about family relationships when they did so.
Yeah, this was the moment for me too. There's just no plausible explanation for this that doesn't involve at least willful negligence and lack of empathy.
Well, I knew next to nothing about her (outside her position relative to the asshole). TIL she's also an asshole.
The entire family are scumbags. Even his youngests. His daughter showed up to support him at the last trial and he didn't even recognize her. She's still supporting him. The kid graduated highschool and went right into politics. We all know about the three older stooges.
I do want to mention that Barron declined to be an RNC delegate, so interpret that how you will.
Where is his statement? The PR guy said he had other commitments. It is not like he said fuck that shit I don't want to have anything to do with it.
No, but he may still want to save face. He's 18. He'll have to deal with that orange shitbag until a few years into college at least before he can break away.
I'm not saying he's a good guy. I'm saying we can't know. Maybe he is rebelling by being a decent human being.
No way, I am sure he just sits around fantasizing about race wars and his father assassinating political rivals. We will never know for sure...
Good to know, thank you
Send them both to Russia, let them sort their marriage issues out there. Obviously she's a mail order bride anyways...
There’s a damn good national security reason to never let him out of the country again.
I wonder how many secrets Trump still remembers that he didn't give to Putin yet.
Would you trust anything Trump rambled about off the top of his head? It could be true, it could be made up on the spot, it could be something spouted by the last guy Trump talked to, or it could be a stream of bullshit with one good tidbit buried inside that you won't even notice.
True that, sadly to say ☹️
