    Why would you expect him to substantiate anything that he says up to this point? Nobody has ever asked for him to substantiate anything in his life. Even the crap he spews out, nobody tells him he needs to substantiate it, but here I am forced to justify the space I exist in.

          Trump, Miller, Thiel, Musk, Noem… Most of the fascists are so mentally ill and filled with hate that they look like villains.

    To be fair, incompetently painting it WAS vandalism, so Trump has spoken the truth.

    It doesn’t matter, his followers believe every word he says, everyone else sees it for the obvious lie it is. What an absolutely ludicrous time to live in.

    Would a bullet through his skull also be vandalism?

      Would it be considered vandalism if I mowed my neighbor’s unkempt lawn?

      Both cases I’d consider it an improvement.

    If he tried to blame LGBTQ+ people (also without proof), would that qualify as without offering transubstantiation? ;-)

    Best part about this distraction is people still aren’t talking about the pipes leaking.

    Says the Publisher of Fake News

    Edit: I wasn’t referring to the article, but to T* being “The Publisher of Fake News”

    Everything he says is a lie.

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!
