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 wonder why women would be "more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago", and "less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago"? Might it possibly have something to do with what his women-hating appointees have done in the last four years? No, must be Biden's fault. /s
Apart from, you know, everything else, I find it remarkable that he's not actually addressing women, but writing about them in the third person.
As if he was saying "Men, vote for me, and I'll make your women happy again." That women have agency themselves simply doesn't occur to him.
He is a serial rapist so that is about as on-brand as it gets.
He’s telling men their women are safe from aborting their children or leaving them. Pretty soon we’ll see laws about rape forgiveness if the man agrees to marry the woman, without her consent of course.
Y'know he has a great relationship with the blacks
Motherfucker is still going on about executing babies lol. What a fucking psycho.
Is his caps lock key broken
Also I can't get over the "ReTruths" counter lmao
Someone sent this to truth social instead of the teleprompter. Though I always figured his teleprompter was just showing pictures of various bullshit he wants to rant about.
picture of minorities
picture of dogs
picture of courtroom
It has to be pictures since Trunp can't read.
Bruh. I would have never noticed that, so thanks for bringing it up. 5.21k does look like a “biglier” number than 5,210 if you’re a fucking idiot I guess.
Ronald Reagan was a super shitty president, and we're still dealing with the ramifications of his administration. Trump can fuck right off with his bullshit and all-caps "mentally-stable genius" rants. He needs a locked padded room and a therapist.
It's either "with the states" or "with powerful exceptions," you can't dictate both.
But his base is too dumb to understand. I'm actually kind of shocked the Overton window has shifted enough that "powerful exceptions" are in the Republican position.
jesus fucking christ this guy has seriously lost it
"Again" implies that at one point he was making sense.
No actual quotes. They expect me to go to truth social? Come on.
When was he making sense before?
When what should have been reasonable, rational, somewhat-intelligent people deliberately and of their own free will voted for unhinged, unqualified chaos.
That's what that's code for, anyway.
Again with the bullshit claim of “executing babies after they are born”. What brain dead Fox viewers actually believe that bullshit (A: a shockingly high number, that’s who)
I argued with family about this more than once since the debate, and it's endlessly frustrating. I work in the medical field. I've worked mother/baby. Still takes way to long to impress on them that this not only isn't happening, but any remotely similar story they hear is someone twisting the worst day of hopeful parents' lives around to support their political bias. Real people having their tragedy flagrantly lied about, and being painted as baby killers, for no good reason. It's disgusting.
Still no idea if I've gotten through, but they seem to have stopped bringing it up for now.
Oh. You know it's "don't bring this up around Tommy. You know how he gets about this" like it's somehow a 'you' thing and not a 'what the hell are you people talking about' thing .
He had a whole speech at a rally meant to appeal to women. Instead, he outlined the toxic backwards of the entire Trump ticket and gave what is probably best described as a “milady” speech.
.
I can’t speak for everyone, but playing the probabilities, I’m going to say his entire speech was a cue to excuse yourself to the ladies room, give the safety word to bartender, and flee out the back. To anyone not already skeeved out by the guy.
.
But the guy is guilty of sexual assault and hung out with Epstein. This is probably what he really believes is a great appeal to women.
He says this shit because he knows you will spread it. It doesn’t matter if you or the rest of us believe it so long as someone out there does. This shit gets him votes.
I hope you know this.
"your little woman brain"
Ooof!
Just a heads up that that isn't something they quoted Trump as saying, that's just some hyperbole the author opened this piece up with. It's definitely not productive, especially in lieu of an actual quote from Trump...
Why hyperbolize the truth that’s already so extreme? Yay for making impressions over expressing meaningful truth. If you’re trying to garner reasonable thought, what’s the point if not profit off clicks and views?
As we say in our household… “wahhhh.” lol.
Im guessing republican voters are not voting for this guy cause of what he says or does; but for what they are being told the democrats are doing. They are mostly being lied to and don't have the energy to find out for themselves. That is what's going on, right?
Democrat voters are just forced to vote democrat because of this guy wanting to dismantle democracy, invite corruption, sell the country and convert it to corpotocracy.
It's a cult.
"Don't believe the evidence of your eyes and ears was the final, most essential command."
props to the poor souls whose job it is to read trump's incomprehensible toxic dreck all day every day and report on it
I hope their health insurance covers mental care.
Hahahahaha! Aaaaiiigh! Heh. Ehhhhh.
More vodka?
The felon awaiting sentencing would have women know, it would seem, that he can fix the challenges they're facing.
But one might argue he is the cause for much of that heartache and death.
He has moderate dementia, no doubt.
