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!

I was really hoping for the Chewbacca Defense to make an appearance towards the end there.
"They made Han Solo sell the Millennium Falcon too, yeah, that's right! He got sued by some tentacle-haired flunky and he had to sell it to that woke "Ray" kid for peanuts. What kind of name is "Ray" for a girl, anyway? It's way too butch, if you ask me. They won't like me saying that, but it's true....
How does a civil suit by a state, NOT federal, against your company that has been conducting fraud in said state for YEARS, being held accountable [finally] somehow equal election interference?
Unless you were going to use those properties to either gain some kind of advantage in the election, or to enrich yourself with foreign influence dollars post election. 🤔
He thinks it's election interference because anything that makes him look bad is election interference. Any narrative that he doesn't personally control is unfair.
Yeah I get his "thinking", I just don't see why it gets regurgitated by the media and everyone else without a follow up, "How?". Or if you are going to post/print his insane rants it should be right next to the charges he is guilty of and WHY it isn't interference at all.
Perhaps. But I think there's no point in even trying to make sense of his bullshit like that, because it ignores the fact that he is bad faith.
No I didn't mean to say he is operating in bad faith.
I mean everything he does, says, his whole persona, everything about him, near him... His entire existence. It's all bad faith lol. He is the walking embodiment of bad faith.
He makes ever more outrageous claims and repeats it until people are talking about it. It shocks, it puts you on the defensive. It confuses and confounds. It dominates.
It's not a denial or brilliant logic. It's a power move of crude, clumsy, brute force. It's breaking the whole game of statements and denials and counter claims and all that. It's like playing chess and suddenly breaking your opponent's arm and pissing on them.
Because he's too pathetic and stupid to do anything calculating, deliberate, and complex. But the tactic is effective just like some brainless water buffalo stumbling around kicking the heads of predators purely on instinct is effective.
So the shit spewing from his head hole isn't about whether it is true or to be made sense of any more than the mindless flailing of some dumb prey animal is to be analyzed for its Karate technique.
