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!

Factually, that's what he did during his time in office as well. I'm not sure what they thought had changed.

concerned family member shows up - "oh my God, is he ok??"

Aide, visibly shaken - "I honestly don't know, I've never seen him like this.."

concerned family member - "is..is he out there right now?*

Aide - yes... I'm so worried, he is out there right now, just.. playing golf, all day, every day... he needs to stop and confront his feelings and all he can do is golf sob"

CFM "earlier you said 27 holes... he must be exhausted just trying to cope..this is really bad"

Aide - "IT IS SO BAD PLEASE HELP HIM!!"

CFM - "God be with me, I will get him to come inside and drink a diet coke. Hopefully he will snap out of this madness....."

Aide - "..please...go with God!"

CFM - "God will guide me to him. Wish me luck!"

removes leather shoes, hops in cart, and speeds away through the green grass, nary a thought to use the given path... this is the most important rescue in the world. People say that it was the most important, maybe, probably, the most important, ever.

And who would the concerned family member actually be? It almost had to be Eric or Jr. Surely none of the others give even the smallest shits.

Losing to a black woman has created a narcissistic wound in Trump.

And he is doing what narcissistic people do when they are wounded. We turn inward and stonewall the rest of the world.

He knows his best shot is cheating and maybe just enough tactically deployed violence. The bigger the gap of his popular vote defeat, the more their cheating has to overcome.

Vote.

Tbf, this is basically him being presidential. Good on him for showing the people what he's really about. Nothing.

Honestly, dude clearly doesn't want this. He just doesn't want the shame that would come with stepping down at this point.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

He didn't want it the first time, now he doesn't want to go to jail
