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!

Dude. He recommended mainlining bleach and shoving a UV cathode up one’s ass.
It’s sadly far from the dumbest or craziest thing he’s said.
It’s a statement of supposed fact that is very obviously not true and absurd, but sure - if I had to vote for the worst, it would be the ones that glorify violence or are about punishing his opponents. Saying the violent mob who invaded the capital and wanted to kill Congress members and the vice president were “full of love”, or discussing how his crowd should attack counter protestors, insisting H. Clinton should be in “jail”, or recently, suggesting that a US general be executed for communicating with a general in China. Also his number outs degrading statements about women are up there.
I may have been more dramatic about it, but, no, he did in fact suggest these things.
The disinfectant in question of the study was bleach, and the reason sunlight destroyed the virus is the amount of UV light in sunlight.
Oh, I remember when he said it. The statement of supposed fact I referred to mean the 5-foot layer of leaves, not the insane bleach "injection inside" and UV light "through the skin or... in some other way". Like some other things he says, that has some basis in fact, but he's way too dense and ignorant to really understand it, but chooses to talk in front of gigantic international audiences as if he knows what he's talking about. There's also an older therapy where they expose blood to UV to disinfect it, called ultraviolet blood irradiation. Definitely not with a lightbulb up your ass though.
Gotcha. I remember having a conversation with a trumper at the time trump suggested it. "I'm not shoving a lightbulb up my ass unless it vibrates" got him to finally shut up about trump around me. Apparently, he now thinks I'm gay, and I'm okay with that.
