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!

You know what, we can do that too:

"They're saying Trump is sleeping with Laura Loomer. She's controlling him. He's an old piece of shit that is easily manipulated and controlled by a crazy woman willing to give him some sadvag. People are saying this."

I've read this on the internet so I believe it to be true

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Now I've seen someone read that comment out on TV, so therefore it must be true!

Also his rally crowd sizes are very small. Very.

We have small crowds, very small crowds. The smallest of all crowds. Sad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We used to have huge crowds, I've been there. I've campaigned with them. Huge crowds. We filled the National Mall. Millions of people. You should have seen them. I've spoken to them. Now, they're all gone. Where are they, I don't know. They were huge. Now they're so small. You should see them now. Wow. What a small crowd.

The crowds come in, the crowds go out, you can't explain it.

You nailed it to the point that I heard his voice as I read it. Well done.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

You know, I've also heard people saying this. Many people are saying this.

Who specifically? Oh, I can't recall.

But lots of people are saying this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I also heard this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, word is on the street Laura and Don are a couple. Hell I think I might have heard some people talking about it at the bar. Melania must be pissed 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Melania always looks like she has been sucking on lemons, but she's probably fine with it? She doesn't have to touch him and her prenup keeps her finances safe.

Shouldn't you do something implausible with zero evidence to match it? Or do you think it's just impossible that he would have since she doesn't look like Ivanka?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I think you're speaking about people who live in reality. There's yer problem.
