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!

Absolutely, when he beat Clinton in 2016 his infantile little bitch of an ego simply could not accept that he lost the popular vote. Remember those years of

"Yea Donny, somehow you won we all agree on th-"

'No but like these fucking democrats, see, these democrats found extra voters somewhere, they had to... I couldn't have lost the popular vote, everyone loves me! Immigrants, it had to be Immigrants... millions of immigrants that they snuck over the border to vote. Pelosi! She fucking loves immigrants... must have been immigrants, they're watching us when we pee, they vote illegally... They're watching us pee!'

"Okay Donny, but you know you won right, the popular vote doesn't even mat-"

'Lies. They lie. Lying Ted I call him. Won it I did. Yes, yes, won the popular vote. They love me. They LOVE ME! Everyone who doesn't love me... they don't exist, they can't, because everyone loves me... Mexicans, they must be Mexicans. Pelosi always sneaking around and watching me. They all love me. You know that right? They only love me.'

I may have paraphrased a bit but that's a pretty accurate summary of literally any press conference in his first year in office. Note to performer, please read the part of Donald as a Skaven.

I wpuld normally call such comparisons unkind but the fact of the matter is the Skaven are just as bad as Trump. Actually maybe he is worse than them since at least they are good at some things, plus they have Thanquil.

They're evil, but they're actually intelligent, unlike certain former presidents...

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Somewhat intelligent, their evil has a strong tendency towards fucking them over and making them real stupid. Which admittedly is probably what the great horned rat wants.

Apt, considering he's trying to ratfuck the election
