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!

Just saw this on the news passing by and had the same thoughts. How does anybody not see that he literally has nothing? He has no idea what to say unless his handlers are in his ears. This man couldn't even be in charge of the local dump.
What's crazy is that the news treat this as if he's staying a serious policy instead of calling it what it is. They phrase it as "Trump says he's open to restrictions on contraception". They should be saying "Trump clearly flounders and doesn't know what contraception means."
This man does not have a single serious policy, other than his own personal goals.
Its not crazy, its money.
If they point out how obviously senile and empty headed he is, they lose 40+% of their audience because they value feels over reals and can't admit that their soiled diaper daddy needs to be given the (political) old yeller treatment.
C'mon, man. "Contraception" is a whole 4-syllable word. Who are you to gatekeep the office of presidency behind understanding such complex words. Donald J Trump is an honest man who tells it like it is, and it's not like he's ever bragged about being good at words. /s
Remember that scene in Chicago, where Roxy Hart was sitting on Billy Flynn's lap and they sang?
Basically like that.
