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!

A version of the $59.99 Bible memorializes the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president in Pennsylvania. Trump’s name is on the cover above the phrase, “The Day God Intervened.”

He inserted himself into the Bible.

Yup. Everything has to be about him. That's how malignant narcissists roll.

Give it enough time and he's gradually replace all the boring old books in his Bible with new 'classier' ones that focus exclusively on him.

The Gospels of Steve, Roger, Jared, and Mike.

The Books of Kim Jong Un, Putin, White Supremacy, Sexual Assault, Embezzlement, Sedition, Gluttony, etc.

All taking about how the Orange Messiah was bulletproof, super-buffed, the smartest man who ever lived, irresistable to the ladies, so so virile, better than Jesus, etc.

And his hardcore followers will gleefully lap it all up.

It's crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.

Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?

Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?

Nope, God said, "I'm going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I'm just not going to intervene on that one..."

Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he's got to make it about only himself.

55000 of those are going to Oklahoma schools soon. IF the very reasonable Oklahoma state superintendent Ryan Walters gets them at cost, then that's only $165,000 of tax players' money. I'm sure that whoever is selling them won't make him pay the full cost of $3,299,450.

Just like his MAGA caps, and probably all the cheap merch he peddels. He is not there to make a statement, he is there to make a buck. Or several.

Anybody know what happened on July 18th?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

July 13th, the day of his first assassination attempt.

Gee, Really? It's Frickin' Trump!

This is the sort of grift that gets a demigod chasing you around with a bullwhip.

Isn't all his MAGA shit made there, along with Ivanka's "designer bags and stuff?
