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!

Nothing new here, he's a useless piece of shit, I'm quite shocked at how pathetic America's response has been to this Nazi takeover.

This is it exactly.
"Look at all our guns. Look at our battle ships. Ooh, look at our planes. Our movies are actually documentaries and we are all bad ass mother fuckers. No one dares take us on!!"
In strolls an old racist reality TV 'star' that is such a failed 'business' man that he bankrupted many casinos with ties to Russia, who is a proven rapist AND 'alleged' child rapist that is the best friend of a paedo child sex trafficker ...and he just takes over without much of a whimper.
Christ, his boss putin was flown over and given the red carpet treatment and nothing of merit was done about it.

"But but...What about the protests?"
What about them? They've done fuck all. The obese imbecile is still strolling around ordering people to be kidnapped off the streets by his own brand version of the Gestapo.
He doesn't give one iota of a shit from his soiled and ruined underpants about your protest(s).
No tyrants or dictators ever do.

It seems the average american is so complacent and molly coddled that they don't care as long as they aren't the ones being targeted.

such a failed 'business' man that he bankrupted many casinos with ties to Russia

People misunderstand what this was really about, and why he kept doing it. Those casinos allowed him to launder billions of dollars of Russian Mob money, and exploit the casinos into insolvency, and then just walk away, and stick everyone else with the bills.

It's not so much that he's a bad businessman (although he is), he's a CRIMINAL businessman, otherwise known as a Mobster.
