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!

CEO: Maybe they're supposed to look like piles of rubble. I'm not quite sure. Why don't they just buy a new one? How much could a home cost anyway, $10?

He looks really confused and lost in that photo, looking around like he doesn’t know where he is. Someone needs to change his diaper and put him to bed.

Recently he is looking confused and lost more often than not.

PAPER TOWELS 🧻 FOR EVERYONE— BOTH SIDES!

I live in Louisiana near the location of the unprecedented flood in 2016 that occurred during the Presidential campaign. He made a trip to one of the relief centers, handed out some toys that had been provided by a charity group, shook hands with some emergency and relief workers, then left. After this photo-op, I had to listen to friends and family about how much Trump had done for the relief effort and Obama had done nothing. It was our paper towel moment.

Trump doesn't care about climate. He thinks climate change is a hoax.

I wish these rich people dinners were mobbed by thousands of activists. Flip every rich person's car there. It would do more than throwing soup at a painting

He knows who butters his toast.

Is this the visit he made with Franklin Graham I read about in the news? I saw some Facebook posts claiming he brought several trucks of supplies and a tanker truck full of fuel that he paid for and the post also claimed he donated $4 million dollars of his personal money to the relief effort. I have a hard time believing this and have not been able to find any credible news sources that credits Trump with paying for the supplies, the fuel, or making the donations. If anyone has anything about this, please share.

Also, that weird centaur stance makes it look like he's either photoshopped into the image or supported by a stick. I can't decide which.
