    None of this should be shocking to anyone. The mother of the author has already said enough, and his followers just harassed the shit out of her. Trump’s own sister.

    These fuckers just refuse to listen to anyone but him at this point. It’s sad as hell.

      It’s like a cosmic joke that there are people out there who consider talking about trump on any level “politics” that should be avoided because, well, it’s just a matter of political opinion. Absolutely bare minimum human decency became “politics”. Thereby making trump completely immune to most criticism, as far as people like that go.

      It’s truly sad and fucked as hell.

        His supporters are afraid. I think, luckily for us, since the fear is based on social issues instead of financial, it won’t work for him the way it did for Hitler. But my point is that people who are scared don’t think straight, pretty much in general and dumb people who are scared act on that fear making it everyone else’s problem. That’s what we’re dealing with, the actions of a lot of dumb and scared people being influenced by a few evil people.

          People have literally always been afraid though. What changed was the level of discourse was allowed to be in the gutter. Then the bOtH siDeS-ers erase the very pronounced differences in the parties and this causes more people to tune out. In reality I’m guessing we probably went from like 30% of adults being somewhat informed about political issues to like 10%.

          I just hope the few factors we have in our favor win the day in November.

            I don’t think white people who are proud of their race have ever been more scared of being a minority. Obama being president enraged and scared them, Trump let them feel like those feelings were justified and perfectly acceptable. You are right though, I hope it works out in our favor too

    No one is surprised, and his followers probably cheer that shit on.

    This is one of the things that worries me as a disabled vet. My feeling is that he will gut the VA and throw us out on the street.

        There’s a chance he could fail due to incompetency, but it won’t be for lack of trying.

    So if you are disabled, the only natural logic is to do the same in return.

    Let me do the math here…

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
