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.
- 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.
- 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!

The part where he complains about how "it's such a callous indifference to the sacrifices made by (Trump's) supporters on (Trump's) behalf" just sent me. He thinks Trump is being callously indifferent now? Amazing that they'll never allow themselves to realize or admit that Trump never gave a shit about them in the first place.
Surely this orange leopard won't eat my face?
How dare you besmirch the good name of leopards like that
Yes, I noticed that as well. And I've come to understand something about karma, which is really just life lessons. We keep doing a thing, and somehow it's never wrong until someone does it to us. After that, it's still never won't when we do it, because "it was different/they deserved it/they're weird," any number of self-justifying excuses we have ourselves in perpetuating cycles of abuse, all the while not understanding why it keeps happening to us all the time! Stepping off the hamster wheel is not only understanding that if it's wrong when others do it to us (who are justifying what they do to us with the same weird excuses), but also stopping the behavior.
We will stumble. We will fall. But if we really understand that bullying is never acceptable, and we really understand that "hurt people hurt people," then we take steps to address in ourselves the same behavior we find so easy to address in others. Will people still be mean to us? Probably. It gives us opportunities to stretch and grow, along with those who may not be as far along. If we resist, the cycle continues, until every person decides to step off the hamster wheel.
If they act surprised then they can pretend that they were fooled by some great conman, the same as having a deepstate that makes sure bad things happen to them that they can’t control. The second they need to acknowledge that it was obvious and they missed it they’re basically broadcasting how fucking stupid they are and that’s too much for them to handle.
I mean, I’m 100% sure it’s happened to everyone who ever lived at least a couple times but usually it does get to “supported Trump’s coup attempt” so we don’t notice it as much.
I really don't care, do U?
