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!

I've been saying this for years. Trump is a LOSER, both literally and figuratively. His businesses hemorrhage money, he has lost in two presidential elections so far and in the one he won, he lost the popular vote, ~~which is practically unheard of for a Republican nominee~~. He wears lifts in his shoes to fix his weird posture that he got from a life of physical inactivity, he sprays himself in orange to look like some bizarre version of tan to cover up his hideous pasty skin. His hair has always been bizarre. He is a born loser, who only "succeeded" because he was literally born rich and has skated on his daddy's money ever since.
Call him what he is: a sad, ugly, weird little loser who people only tolerate in hopes they might pick up a few hundred dollar bills after he's done wiping his ass with them.
In the modern era the gop usually loses the popular vote. GW won it in 04 bc of the war and that's the only one since his daddy ended his term.
Before that I think the popular vote pretty much always lined up w the electoral college for both parties.
and every reasonable, somewhat aware person has known these things since the 80s or 90s. Prior to 2016, the idea of Trump being president would've made anyone who has read a newspaper or magazine laugh their ass off.
