Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who served in President Trump’s first administration, said he was puzzled to hear the president lay out a proposal for the United States to take control of the Gaza Strip.

“It wasn’t him. It was not his language,” Mulvaney said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill,” when asked to assess Trump’s remarks.

“I was watching him, the man who worked for so long to get us out of the forever war in Afghanistan, was up here behind the podium saying, ‘We’re going to go and occupy this land for the next 10 or 15 years,’” Mulvaney said. “It made no sense to me.”

Mulvaney suggested the proposal could have been someone else’s idea.

“And as I sat and I watched the energy level, some of the language, some of the reports that came out afterward in the press, some of the leaks that came out about the process, it sounded to me more like Jared Kushner than it did like Donald Trump,” Mulvaney said.

bullshit!

he👏 has👏 said👏 this👏 shit👏 be👏fore👏

that little nazi kushner has been advocating for this much earlier, but the deranged orange sack of shit occupying the failed states of america has been publically voicing his preferred form of ethnic cleansing since October of 2024.

Gotta love these assholes trying to gaslight us into believing what he said wasn't what he said. This is what happens when you put all your backing into a dementia patient.

He said magnificent and phenomenal many times. Sounds likes trumps language to me. But still no doubt the evil kushners are pushing this one but its still trump just being the complete and utter evil and stupid piece of shit. Its inexcusable and its offending to us to try and persuade anyone otherwise
