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 said, ‘Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you’re not even going to believe it. I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow," Donald Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, without specifying under what circumstances and when he and Putin had this conversation.

According to Trump, Putin replied: "No way". Trump responded: "Way".

Oh, it's unpopular supporting a murderous dictator piece of shit whose army invaded another sovereign country to commit war crimes and now you're claiming you stood up to him, right before an election you might lose. Interesting...

I mean, he might have said it, the man seems mentally scrambled enough that even if he's in Putin's pocket I could see him trying to make threats to him to boost his ego. Now him saying it in a way that would make it seem serious, or actually meaning it, is another matter.

"Putin respects me so much there would never be a war if I was president!"

Also

"I swear I yelled at him and everything!"

This was also the guy who was actively trying to sabotage NATO when the Russian military buildup was slowly starting at the border.

Sure we believe ya...

Hey man, President Convict would have stopped stroking Vlad's balls while choking on his dick! That would've showed him.
