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!

Man I wish that I had no soul. By that I mean morals and/or values. It seems like it would be so easy to fleece these dumb asses, but I just don't think I could live with myself if I started acting like that.
Honestly every day I start thinking about preying on the dumb and wealthy. Just, ya know. Not slimy.
Like setup a "pro life" fund that is actually just pro saving lives and has nothing to do with abortion whatsoever (except where it saves lives)
You would be siphoning money from going to where it would cause damage. You could forward that money with a place that does actual good. Make sure that the fine print of starting your nonprofit gives you the legal power to do that, select the nonprofit to send it to with care, and you are good to go.
It’s funny that you and the comments below all assume you could do the same thing as this immoral piece of shit and be as successful as he is
Trump and Sanders were able to grow a huge grassroots movement for a reason, what they speak about gets the working class going.
One is backed by progressives the other by fascists. One is for the people, the other rapes them. One is pro democracy, the other is a wannabe dictator.
Other than they both raised money, that's about where the similarities end.
Ah, yes, the things trump speaks about.
Including, but not limited to
Pussy grabbing
Nuking hurricanes
Injecting ...bleach?
How much he loves the uneducated demographic.
How much better he is than everyone at everything despite no formal accredations.
All he's missing is trucks, beer, hunting, and Jesus, and we have a working class hero, I guess?
His underlying message is racism. Sadly there is still a lot of deep seeded racism in this country and he gives racists an outlet.
