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!

This is a demoralization tactic.
It’s not about Biden, it’s not about conspiracies. It’s about rubbing your nose in it.
“Look at the absurd shit I can say and lose no support. Look at how brazenly I can spew this garbage and look at how you’re doing nothing about it. Fuck you, I win, and you won’t even try to stop me.”
You're giving way too much credit. I think he's just a jackass sharing conspiracy theories about people he doesn't like.
Yeah. I think it's somewhere in between this and the above post. I think he thinks it's funny, and he likes stirring the pot for his own amusement or to deflect from something else. I don't think he's thinking about it as a demoralization tactic; I think he's just having fun because he doesn't take being president seriously and he's just seeing what he can get away with.
I think Trump is mainly there for grifting, trolling, and bullying, and all the other stuff is just because he wants his crazy base to love him. He just uses the issues as leverage.
You sound like the opposing team in Air Bud insisting there’s a SERIOUS procedural problem here and totally ignoring the fact that a golden retriever is just dunking on you over and over again.
Like.. if he’s just a dumb jackass- it does NOT reflect well on you that you haven’t put a stop to it yet. The only possible takeaway is that you’re a huge coward, not that you don’t know what do do.
No
What would you be doing?
Talking big on the Internet
so predictable
So, nothing
You sound really intelligent and reasonable.
Yeah, and YOU'RE A TOWEL CLONE.
yeah, no, his mental process definitely isn't that elaborate
"he's playing 5d chess" "That's no rook, that's a cat's turd."
