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.

Ngl I’m flabbergasted that Americans allowed him to do it. :/
We didn’t allow him to do anything. He just did it anyway, then we took him to court and sued his ass, and now he’s been forced by the court to remove it.
Well this is brilliant news. Bet he is raging. Love it. :D
He lives by his version of "It better to ask for forgiveness that permission," except he doesn't ask for forgiveness, he just says " Yeah I did it, what are gonna do about it?"
Now he's finding out what happens, as the courts are starting to kick him in the nuts. And that's just for relatively small stuff like this. It's an indication that the courts aren't going to be very friendly when he gets out, and they start coming at him for big stuff like Corruption. Judges like Cannon won't be so deferent when they aren't gambling that he'll get elected again.
"Surely this will be the return to normalcy."
Don't get me wrong, I have the same wishful thinking, but at least recognize it as such. I hope he lives to 120 in prison.
You allowed it.
You continue to allow this shit every day.
Stop dressing up cowardice as helplessness.
Lol
This is some insane victim blaming.
You poor victims, watching this shit happen in slow motion for 30-40 years and doing fuck all
I bet you'd blame the woman for staying with her abusive partner.
If she was armed to the teeth and had stayed with him for decades despite making her entire identity “fuck all the rest of you, I’m THE BEST IN THE WORLD at dealing with abusers” I might
Sorry I wasn't fighting the good fight when I was a sperm in my daddy's balls
This is some real “I’m supposed to feel guilty for being white because of something that happened before my great-grandparents were born?” energy
I unironically agree with both. I didn't do that shit, hop off my nuts
I'm not American
How did we allow it? One day he just did it with no permission. Various entities sued, and the courts said to remove it. Now it's been removed.
So how exactly did we "allow" it? What did you expect? That the moment he did it, someone was supposed to blast it off the building with a bazooka?
He tried to do something illegal, and the courts stopped it, and reversed it. That's exactly how the system is supposed to work. You could make that argument about some situations, but not this one.
Trump is a symptom. This isn’t about Trump, it’s about you handing your country over to fascists every day since Reagan
Trump isn't a symptom, he's a result. This nonsense that he's "only" a symptom is ridiculous, and a specious argument. Even a symptom can make your life unbearable.
This "Symptom" is killing people, starving people, increasing their suffering, etc. Minimizing him as a symptom, so you can ignore him to focus on a larger, nearly insurmountable issue of completely changing the system of government FIRST is just silly, and frankly an immature approach to the problem. The kind of great idea you get while passing the bong.
We can never alter our system of government until we take it back from Corrupt Traitors who have control now. Once we have taken control back, and decisively dealt with the MAGA Treason, we will have to rebuild our government and our nation.
Ironically, MAGA's destruction of America may be the very opportunity to lead this country in a new direction, exactly opposite of that they wanted. It may not look like the violent revolution that you jackals are drooling for, but we're not up for murdering our fellow citizens just for your sick entertainment.
It's time for you to stand where your mouth is.
Oh wait, did you just put your foot in your mouth?
You allow it too. You’re just a plane ride away. Do something.
Keep going, don’t stop. This is illustrative. Everyone wants to know why the US is where it is- the inordinate defensiveness and unwillingness to take responsibility is just… prime USA. This is why you are where you are.
The point is, whatever you expect me to do to change things, you could also do plus the price of a plane ticket. But you don’t. So get off your high horse.
This makes no sense at all
Sure, I'll go get killed by the SS before I can even see him because some keyboard warrior on another continent dared me to. Fuck off with this.
