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.

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.

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.

Remember when Adolf was in his bunker moving mythical military units on a map?
Same thing.
The man distanced himself from reality and has now fallen off a cliff. It does no good trying to convince anyone, just watch the lemmings that follow him.
reminds me of some sharpie incident
I still don't know which is more unbelievable to me - that it happened in the first place or that he's still a toss-up for the presidency despite having pulled that stunt.
What was that again?
He tried to claim he'd been right about the path of a hurricane... by doctoring a weather prediction map from the National Weather Service with a sharpie.
Oh yeah now I remember! 😂 God damn what an unbelievable moron the guy is... I can't even comprehend.
This is also one reason project 2025 wants to eliminate NOAA. That and the whole bit about NOAA along with NASA providing direct scientific evidence of global warming that goes directly against the interests of the fossil fuel industry. I mean... clearly the latter is the lion's share, but Trump's pettiness knows no bounds when they wouldn't [fully] play ball and affirm lies he told about the storm... https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/11/media/hurricane-dorian-donald-trump-reliable-sources/index.html
Another reason they want to eliminate NOAA is because they provide weather info for free. Without NOAA we'd end up paying for our weather reports from private companies.
Wish I could get this bug in the Harris campaign's collective ear:
They should be running 24/7 TV spots in Florida outlining moves have the GOP has done, and wishes to do, to defund NOAA. We live and die by that reporting in hurricane season.
No need bring up shit Republicans don't believe in like global warming or stronger and more numerous hurricanes.
The former "leader of the free world"
Have are we not up in arms in this timeline? Figuratively, that is. It would be good to avoid armed conflict, but why the fuck are we allowing lying moronic assholes in positions of power?
Because really stupid morons think he's smart business man despite all evidence in front of them
But really stupid morons can't be the majority, surely.
So there's something going on with the average intelligent as well.
Perhaps it's because the majority isn't as loud and obnoxious as the moronic minority?
