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!

Before the 2016 election Trump had a civil trial over allegations that 'Trump University' was nothing more than a scam to fleece the gullible out of their money.
Trump made a settlement, which basically admitted that he'd ripped off the average citizen.
I brought this up to a MAGoo.
Their take was that the students deserved to be robbed because they hadn't read the terms and conditions.
Trump's people know he's a liar. They just think he won't lie to them.
Admittedly, I never read the terms and conditions for the university I attended..
Maybe that’s on me, but I seriously doubt there were any. That’s not really a normal thing an institute of higher learning would have, afaik..
What a bizarre contortion.
Similar story form before the 2016 election.
MAGoo woman goes on The View TV show to defend Donnie's 'pussy grabber' tape.
One of the other panelists keeps repeating the word 'pussy' over and over again.
Trump's lady demands that the other woman stop using that offensive term.
No, there definitely were. They were probably more related to conduct on campus, grading, and how to handle issues with professors, though.
Also, you didn't really need to read the terms and conditions to know Trump University was a scam; a quick Google would suffice
Don’t have to google. It’s in the name. Anything with the trump name attached to it is garbage or a scam and probably both.
Well that too, but anyone enrolling in something called Trump University clearly lived under a rock, and wouldn't know that, or they wouldn't have even gotten that far.
Or they believed what they saw on TV. The Apprentice really fucked this country and a lot of idiots along the way.
