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!

I wish they'd stop using pics of dementia donnie with the maxi pad on his ear. The less we are reminded about another Republican trying to take this clown out, the better.

It's like some kind of badge of honor in his eyes. See, he survived a shooting! Why can't those dang kids survive. For anyone that needs this /s

Meanwhile, the FBI are saying it probably wasn't even a bullet that hit him.

An ear wound isn’t a strong image though. If he got shot in the chest, yes that would look “manly”. I don’t see the ear wrapper and think, wow, what a survivor.

Clearly you have never dealt with a narcissist on a close up basis.

They could have shot him in the butthole and all of a sudden his wounded heroic butthole would be the chief topic of a lot of conversations. I fully expect he’s not gonna let go of his little ear pad until it’s gone on way, way too long.

He's not trying to impress you. You're too smart. He's trying to impress the magats.

The us media corporations are gonna try their best still to get him elected.

I think it's fucking hilarious myself. It's like a toddler getting a bandaid for a boo boo

Trump is just a giant baby. Real tough people, wouldn't have giant bandage on their ears.

Maybe for like two days, for the risk of infection.

Donald surely has delayed healing due to his old age and weakened constitution.

The problem is it's surgically attached to his ear now. It would be dishonest to just use old pictures...
