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.

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.

Republicans may be willing to stick with Donald Trump through almost anything, but his recent push to seize control of Greenland has turned off many in his own party, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that about 7 in 10 U.S. adults disapprove of how Trump is handling the issue of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. That’s higher than the share who dislike how he’s handling foreign policy generally, suggesting that Trump’s Greenland approach has created a weak spot for the administration.

Even Republicans aren’t thrilled. About half disapprove of his attempt to turn the icebound landmass into American territory, something that Trump has insisted is critical for national security in the Arctic, while about half approve.

So MAGAs, how's that America First pledge working out? Greenland, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, NATO, etc.

A little historical hint: When a conservative candidate says they aren't going to do any nation-building, they're going to do a LOT of nation-building.

Let's be real, everyone else in power hates the guy, but half of them have to pretend they like him because he's placed some kind of inexplicable spell over a critical mass of voters in key areas (and he's been good for the billionaires, who give that spell the mana it needs to keep living). The second those sharks sense the spell is broken, the billionaires have found a new useful idiot, and there's blood in the water (there's already plenty), he'll be shredded apart. His power is very fragile and unless he can consolidate and shrink his coalition quickly into a true dictatorship, there will be a reckoning from within...so long as the popular support continues to wane while also being eclipsed by the rise of the opposition votes in November. Please do your part and vote against fascism.

I'd rather you guys have a civil war before his time in office ends. Eat each other please.
