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!

Traitorous degenerates.

He so very badly wants to use a nuclear weapon.

You made too many mistakes in "Putin's puppets".

“NATO was busted until I came along,” he began. “I said, ‘Everybody’s going to pay.’ They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ They couldn’t believe the answer.”

This coming from the guy notorious for routinely stiffing payments on literally everyone and everything.

For real this guy's entire empire is built on stiffing everyone and anyone.

GOP projection continues.

It's also not even how NATO works. Countries are recommended (not required, recommended) to spend 2% of GDP on their own defence forces.

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’ I said, ‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want,” Trump said.

Anticipating the possibility of this demented traitor getting back in power is probably why the NATO generals were talking about beefing up their militaries a few weeks ago.

He wants Russia to penetrate Europe the same way Putin penetrates his ass every time they meet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Not just went they meet putin like total control and trump walk funny he might have one of those wireless buttplug in at all time for is master to play with it

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

What a loser.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Plot twist, this causes NATO to boost it military, which in turn, manages to oust putin for someone European friendly. Trump refuses to pay the bill on our side, so NATO and the new russia invade and conquer the US.

Every part of his body that we've seen looks weird.
