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!

If you know him it makes it less friendly because he's a shitty shitty narcissist.
You are the dude. Nowadays ppl have zero common sense about human contact behaviour.
Because slapping kids for not kissing your hand is really emotionally mature?!
It's not that. Western cityboys will never understand arabic culture.
Slapping people is manbaby behaviour. Particularly if it's slapping people who are weaker. A real man doesn't need to use his hands to earn respect. This was petulant and insecure behaviour in public and Turkiye loses face on the world stage as a result.
The little kid showed more emotional maturity and self control than a fully grown adult here.
So you're saying it's a culture of child abuse? Not just a shitty wannabe dictator's behavior?
Yeah, there are a lot of white people clutching pearls in here about non-white cultural norms.
I don't think it's abhorrent, I think it's weak. How is he so insecure that he reacts this badly to a little kid? The kid responded rationally, the president responded like a toddler.
Kids should learn not to just slap someone if they don't get their way. Adults are supposed to be more in control of their emotions than that. It looks weak and insecure.
