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!

Zero. He's not that calculating. He's a moron that instinctually manipulates and cons people through his incessant narcissism only in the present.
He’s like a young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace flying a fighter for the first time. “I‘ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!” Except it’s whatever nonsense his amphetamine fueled brain latched onto most recently. And his base licks it up over and over. The media talks about him like he’s some master manipulator. He’s just a dog chasing a car that keeps catching the car because the fucking car keeps stopping for him to catch it.
Calling him moron is what helped him multiple times get out of responsibility ("he didn't know", "that's how he is", "he shouldn't testify, because he could incriminate himself", like what?).
Even now with the indictments including 91 felonies he is treated so much better than somebody caught with a small bag of weed.
Don't contribute to this.
Being a moron isn't an excuse for crimes, nor is it the reason for a cop-out for the kid gloves he's being handled with. You're flagrantly misattributing his being a moron and the entirety of us calling him such as a reason he's being patted on the head like a child.
He's being coddled in a (misguided, imo) manner to give him absolutely ZERO grounds for a successful appeal in any of his cases. He's being given ALL the legal rope to hang himself with.
He's already openly admitted to Mar-a-Lago crimes from TrophShendral posts and interviews that wouldn't have existed had he already rightfully been behind bars awaiting trial.
I hope you are right. I do want to see him behind bars.
