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!

MODERATORS
it wasn't the pedophilia, the raping, the fraud, the tens of thousands of lies, the pornstar hush money, "grab'em by the pussy," "suckers and losers," the support for genocide and pointless bullshit iran war--no, it was the ai jesus pic that pushed them over the edge...
Nothing gets fake Christians upset than someone out fake Christianing them.
Gloriously accurate statement.
Life is full of miracles.
Which isn't even really new information. He's compared himself to Jesus multiple times and blasphemed publicly a few times that I'm aware of.
i am also occasionally guilty of operating on the assumption that anything about maga voters makes any sense whatsoever
Well, something about them does make sense. They are all a bunch of scared babies who want a mean daddy to fix all their problems (which are apparently 100% just brown people).
This isn't the first one made of him. So it took a few to push people over.
A reminder that it isn't Trump, but the ones who support him that are the problem, and there are so many of them. And even they are also just a symptom of a deeper illness. A self-perpetuating one.
There can be two problems
Yeah but one man being a problem is solved easily by putting that man in prison. A hundred million supporters can't be solved so easily.
There are lots of problems, but some are more dependent on the others, so pick your battles. There are also predicaments. Whether or not the biggest problems are really that is debatable. But have to start somewhere.
Right, you just literally said Trump wasn't a problem, which is quite obviously false. I know what you meant, but it sounded bad.
They want something to be nominally angry about because we all made fun of them for only caring about gas prices. This is cover. I won't assume intentionality where irrationality has always reigned, but the holier-than-thou crowd prefers a spiritual boogeyman to admitting they are just selfish little children.
They're just like the muslim extremists they love to make fun of, one meme of their prophet and they lose their shit
I think that they were willing to go along with just about anything, so long as it seemed like he was a path to power. But, from their perspective, he’s committed the ultimate faux pa, he made gas prices go up. So his political agenda is dead in the water with no chance of recovery. This stuff is just the excuse to back away without loosing face.
Don't forget rising gas prices.
They are mad but they will still vote red down the ticket.
