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.

Each one of these people/counties/judges is waiting for the time they can actually get a mugshot of Trump or have him in actual handcuffs. what a shit show!
This stupid response is why I hate the quote from this article. It will be taken out of context (it already is in this post) so these people can make it sound personal and frame it as such. Just take the mugshot and when challenged say you're treating him like everyone else, don't crow about it beforehand.
Having said that I don't think acting like an adult will have an impact on people like jcb2016 so maybe I'm wrong.
The guy hoarded nuclear secrets, attack plans, DEFENSE plans, ordered people to "find" votes. As an old guy who unfortunately was once a Reagan republican the GOP acting like this is mind blowing to me. The man is a traitor.
This is the natural progression from Reagan tho.
First, some of you seem to be missing the word "unfortunately" in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia's dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.
I wasn’t dunking on you once being a Reagan republican, my comment was towards your statement of “the GOP acting like this is blowing my mind.” And yes, we are allowed to learn and grow. That is a good thing that should happen. But, and we’re going to disagree here, it is definitely the natural progression. The southern strategy gave us so much craptastic politics, but number one in that is courting the lowest denominator in the hateful south. Breeding that throughout the party and filling it with the cocaine fueled parties of the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is the shit that created Limbah, Gingrich and the rest. The Koch family had been feeding and fomenting everything wrong with where we are before Reagan and still use Nixon and Reagan to this day as starting points for enshittification of our country. As a kid when Reagan was elected and an “adult” when he left office, I could tell where this bs was going. When you court people based on their worst qualities, you can only go down from there.
Zero disagreement. I think you're using "natural" where I would use "intended." Cheers.
Cheers back.
Upvoted for having an adult conversation.
Right? Reagan was just as petulant and vindictive. He happened to have an absolutely perfect enemy in "the communists" and riled enough people up to stay in office for 8 years. We can be thankful that, so far, Trump has just been far, far stupider than Reagan when it comes to committing crimes.
So you think all of this investigation and the resulting indictments and court cases are entirely fabricated? Would you mind explaining how you arrived at that conclusion?
Your comment is a shit show. FFS man. What now?
As another user pointed out to me yesterday, a lot of these people are brought into right wing politics by some tangentially related content. "How anime went woke!" "Does watching Dragonball make you a liberal?" "The left is attacking anime!"
You like anime and watch those videos, get mad about your favorite character being a woman now or black instead of white, whatever. That leads you down the ShitTube rabbit hole that is designed to direct you to anger inducing material that is related to what you watched, so now you've gone from "why is Naruto becoming BLM propaganda" to "the left is literally the antichrist and wants to kill the entire world and make you gay only Trump can save us."
