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!

Just jail the fat, mouthy fuck and let him talk to the walls.
"This is a great crowd here at the Atlantis Correctional Facility. You folks do some of the best underwater in terms of wetness....what's that? Atlanta? Atlanta, I mean. How about those Seahawks?"
Call it "Person woman man camera TV" and have those as the things he draws on the walls.
Now I want to see that Robot Chicken / SNL skit.
Make it somewhat like the SNL sketch, where we see what Trump is seeing, except this time, it's realistic, and only in the end, is it revealed that he was in prison all the time.
Title: Trump's Grand Show
Setting: A lavish TV studio set. Cameras flashing, audience clapping. There's a prominent desk with a shiny sign: "The Trump Hour".
Cast:
Trump (Baldwin): (Smiling, waving) "Welcome, everyone, to the greatest show on Earth - 'The Trump Hour'! Tremendous lineup tonight!"
Audience: (Loud applause)
Trump (Baldwin): "Our first guest tonight, a man of wisdom and knowledge, Eddie!"
Eddie: (Looking bewildered) "Uh... Thanks, Don. Happy to be... here?"
Trump (Baldwin): "Eddie, tell the people about our latest venture."
Eddie: (Hesitates) "You mean... the crayons?"
Trump (Baldwin): "The MAGA crayons, Eddie! The ones that let you draw your own reality!"
Eddie: (Nervously) "Right... Um, with these crayons, folks, you can... change the world?"
Trump (Baldwin): (Beaming) "Exactly! No more fake news! Draw your own stories!"
Audience: (Cheering)
Trump (Baldwin): "Now, for a special segment. Tweets of the week!" (Takes out a piece of paper) "Ahem. 'Just had the most tremendous steak in Shawshank. Best ever!'"
Eddie: (Whispering) "That was gruel, Don."
Trump (Baldwin): (Ignoring Eddie) "And another one: 'Huge rally in Cell Block C. Tremendous crowd!'"
Eddie: "That was lunchtime..."
Trump (Baldwin): "Moving on! Our musical guest, the Shawshank Shakers!" (No music plays, just the sound of distant clanging)
Suddenly, the studio starts to shake, and the illusion starts to crack. The lavish set fades, replaced by cold, gray walls. The audience becomes rows of empty beds, the TV crew transforms into prison guards.
Guard: "Lights out, Trump!"
Eddie: (Sighing) "Every night..."
Trump (Baldwin): (Holding his crayon, looking around the prison cell) "They loved me, Eddie. Did you see that crowd?"
Eddie: "Goodnight, Don."
End.
Very nice. 😀 👍
That’s an unparalleled writing prompt, could go in several directions. Noice.
I'd like to read it when you're finished.
And then pretend the drawn audience is asking him while he wants to run for president of the cell block in that prison since he had already been disqualified for POTUS by Amendment 14, section 3.
