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!

  • Trump is vowing not to be "nice" after his near-fatal shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.
  • He initially softened his tone, calling for unity in a speech at the Republican National Convention.
  • But he quickly resumed attacks on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Imagine what an asshole you have to be to be nearly assassinated and shrug off all sympathy toward it within a week. Cool dude. I don’t really care, do u?

I'm thinking that, as a narcissist, Trump simply can't imagine how close to death he was, it's not real or possible to his mind that he was literally within and inch of his life.

A normal person might reevalute or gain a new perspective on their mortality and how they've spent their limited time on this earth. But if your brain is hardwired to believe you're at the center of the universe, nothing can shake that belief.

There was a post a few hours after the shooting of how Trump, someone who posts about anything and everything, had nothing to say on Truth social. He was quiet for almost two or three days.

He was shook.

He couldn't believe that someone hated him enough to end his life. He's that much of a narcissist.

CouchFucker Vance is the end of Trump, though.
Huuuuge mistake with that pick.

No, not asshole. Demented malignant narcissist.

He's seriously suffering from degraded mental capacity, possibly exacerbated by stimulant abuse, and is a lifelong narcissist who has exhibited more than a few sociopathic tendencies. We also know he's an asshole.

RepubliQans, you're really going all out. I'm sure you're so proud.
