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.

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.

This can't possibly come as a surprise to anyone. Lol
staged? no waaaaay, absolutely impossible
Now let's hear from all the MAGAts that
- believe the story of it being fake
- give a shit about it:
oh...
🦗🦗🦗
Staged describes 90% of what they do.
Wait till people find out that everything about Trump is staged and this presidency is a farce.
If they didn't learn last time, they're not going to learn this time.
Yet this “farce” you speak of manages to do plenty of damage.
Staged AND exploitative. My oh my I don't even have to do ANYTHING to be a better person than a trump excuser. Literal neutrality is better than your party's morals holy hell.
These guys??? Nawwww.
Really??????? Nawwwwwwwwww.
It's almost like they are liars or something. Maybe they should be sued...
No shot? Out of a cannon?
Out of a cannon? The only Cannons I know of take forever and put people on pedestals instead of where they belong.
Sure. Why not? It would be fun and cathartic for everyone, especially if it were televised, especially with high speed cameras.
Please do shoot them out of Aileen Cannon
Reports reveal that the group allegedly recruited homeless individuals in Nuuk to wear MAGA hats for photo ops, promising them meals in return
There just is no bottom.
Remember "blacks for Trump"? Which predominantly was white people?
Look at my African American!
At least he has an actual African American on his side this time.
His name was Elon...
The absurdity is definitely funny, but this type of thing won the election.
The like 3 black dudes that were prominently in the stands right behind Trump at every rally?
Those 3, and the dozens of white people with "blacks for Trump" shirts around them
I don't remember ever seeing white people with “blacks for Trump” shirts behind Trump during a rally, surely his team isn't so tone-deaf they'd do that?
welcome to fascism, where the only person is the one with power.
Too bad there weren't any homeless Luigis nearby
The grift just in plain sight, and Americans are so fucken stupid they'll gobble whatever the clique says instead of listening to the residents who were actually there.
One day I'm gonna own the boots...
Disgusting
Everything MAGA is staged. Seriously… do we have selective memory now?
They also hired people to wear MAGA hats in the US early in the Trump campaign. This shouldn't surprise anyone.
did they ever stop payin' people to fill seats, wear their shit, carry their signs.......
This looks like a false flag to me. Right out of Hitler's playbook... Oh, there are a lot of Germans in Sudetenland, I'll just take it.
Look guys, the empire is collapsing. I know things seem bad now, but they're gonna get a whole lot worse.
Because it was to kill H1B controversy that was dividing Republicans, and we for fooled again.
It's wild that threatening a close military ally with invasion is less divisive.
promising them meals in return
History tells us that those meals were not delivered
They offered an extra meal to participate in a MAGA Bum Fights tournament afterward, which was live-streamed to wealthy donors.
It's a diversion from the crazy shit actually going down that will really affect a lot of people.
Goebbels would be very proud.
Come on bird flu, you can do it! Any day now!
It’s never gonna hit the right people. Those jerks have actual health care, despite how nuts they are
No kidding? Did anyone think otherwise?
Dark turn? WTF are you talking about? EVERYONE knew it was bullshit. The real story is the one not being published.

Cue the avalanche of FB and Xitter posts that will deny any wrong doing and that it was all genuine.
It's going to be a long ride but the next few years will be endless fiascos like this ... while the real changes to our world is happening in the background.
It will take us decades to recover from this stupidity ... if we ever do.
They're so bad at this. And everything, really.
They're quite good at hoodwinking and swindling gullible and ignorant people.
Greenland should have never let these clowns through customs
