Rules:

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.

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.

I don’t think people have caught onto the fact that you should never give into Trump’s demands… full stop.

The assumption that what you give to him is transactional and will make him stop doesn’t apply.

Giving in just shows you perceive your position as weak and he will ask for more or destroy you later.

Look at all the Broadcast networks that settled lawsuits and paid him off, look at Columbia university giving into his demands around student protests.

The list goes on and on with the same result you give in and he will ask for more or still seek to destroy you later. Giving in just makes him stronger.

It's bully logic.

No matter how much you give him it's never enough, because it isn't about the stuff, it's about the domination, that's literally all that matters.
