The GOP is so consumed by incoherent QAnon babble that Trump's deterioration doesn't register

      I’d prefer it happen in prison. Or like Stalin, soaking in his own piss.

          One of us is extremely familiar with who Joe Biden is. It’s not, apparently (if you’re not lying) you. Unless you meant Biden. Trumps just an old crony capitalist, crooked, but not particularly warlike.

            You mean the guy who just said he backed the war on Gaza and that we need to keep going until we have achieved total victory. Yeah, he’s not particularly warlike. Fucking idiot.

              You need a history lesson over who did what. It’s pathetic at this point, y’all whining about the least warlike president since Carter. Indoctrinated to the point of uselessness, can’t even differentiate literal facts from opinion.

                Nothing you say matters, not even to yourself. Get an education before commenting again. Thank you!

                  An education would prevent you from thinking that’s an appropriate rebuttal. I mean a real education, not a booklet listing the names of logical fallacies that cost 40-90 grand

            “Not particularly warlike”

            Except when it comes to allowing Russia to bulldoze Ukraine.

            Except when it comes to letting Russia do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO members:

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!
