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.

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!

Could have said trump is LYING.
But, no. Not our corporate news sewers. Only serve the wealthy! Only support the fascists!
While journalists were chasing down this obvious lie, he did half a dozen illegal things and told a dozen public lies. It’s why he does it
The people who listen to Trump do not care about data.
They also can't read. That's why Orange Kool Aid meandering pointless hand waving rambling actually makes sense to them.
"I don't understand what he's saying. He must be really smart."
The people who listen to Trump do not care about ~~data~~anything but themselves.
The left have infiltrated every single institution performing these studies! This is a coverup on a national level by the left!
/s
The big problem is that they know. They know they are making the violence, and unfairly complaining about it. Pointing it out changes nothing for them.
They know and they say it anyways and don't care if they are wrong because it works. It is unfortunately working.
Trump lying again? Imagine that.
If you put 30 underage girls in a room and told Trump he could do anything to the girls in that room and no one would stop him, but he had to talk for 60 seconds and not tell a lie, those girls would be safe.
It doesn’t really matter. The left is always pushing for peace and unity. The right is always pushing for violence and division. I'm blaming both on the right.
Hell from what I can tell, Tyler appears to have simply been horrified by the hate and bigotry he witnessed first hand, which put trans lives (like his roommate's) in jeopardy.
That could very well not be the case, but that's what it looks like to me.
I blame the left for not being more violent. It’s led us to where we are.
Just yesterday I was driving home and passed a bunch of people with signs - “down with fascism!” and “No Kings!” and while I agree, I couldn’t help but think of how they’ve managed to pass gun ban after gun ban and restrictions on top of restrictions in my state.
“We won’t accept a dictator!” (Actual sign, last one I could see as I drove by) <- motherfuckers, exactly how do you plan on not accepting him? He runs the media, the election board, has his own gestapo, and all you’ve managed to do is disarm honest people.
I’d sincerely love to be wrong but as far as I can tell we’ve lost, the nation is simply fucking evil now and won’t be going back.
Are you - do you need a gun? Man, do we have good news for you!
Just drive south. You’ll be in gun-freaking-heaven. Woah! Ha ha! Watch it! Yeah, shit bring a trailer and load up on them fuckers.
Noooooooooo Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Just watched Laura Ingraham cheer on ICEgestapo body-slamming a Democrat.
Being violent and cheering it on just comes naturally to them. They are like a fish in water when it comes to their violence - until they think they see a liberal or a Democrat doing it.
Then out come the pearls and there is much clutching.
Cowards
It's like the schoolyard bully ... they love picking on kids smaller and weaker than they are but fall and fold to the ground in a fetal position and start crying when someone stands up to them.
And just like schoolyard mentalities ... the bully is only as strong as the whole school makes them - meaning that if the entire school just stands around and says and does nothing, the bully always wins.
They cheer violence done to those they didn't like, and act shocked if it's done to one of their own, actually.
They blame all violence on the left. Even the violence being done by ICE is the left's fault, you see, because the left "made them do it".
MAGAts' feelings don't care about your facts.
While these journalists chase data on his obvious lies, he has moved on and told a dozen more lies
:shocked pikachu: trump lies?
No. No no.
Facts, okay, do not back up his claims. You see?
Couldn’t be more different.
It shows the opposite
Huh. That must have got cut from the headline somehow.
Probably a glitch.
Cool? Facts being in your favor is a very cold comfort - they haven't much mattered for this admin's overreach so far.
Data is woke. Reality is woke.
