    The Toddler-in-chief throwing a tantrum because he got caught in a lie.

    That’s just so 2025.

      The only thing that would surprise me in 2025+ is if even one god came forward and revealed themselves. Beyond that? Cthulhu teaming up with the Atlantis navy and a space alien air force? “I wonder if they’re looking for additional pilots”

    You mean like his own National Security advisor leaked information on previous operations?

    As Hanlon’s razor goes:

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Incompetence in the white house is easy to see.

      MAGA’s razor:

      Just assume it’s both malice and stupidity.

        Exactly. With the regressives, it absolutely is both.

    Far be it from me to protect this idiot, but wasn’t the whole ruse he was trying to do aimed at getting the wind out of Israel’s sails by claiming he destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities?

    And I really don’t know who leaked the BDA pics, but it would benefit Israel and the regime change band for his lie to fall apart, right?

    Has any reporter asked him, or his bimbo mouthpiece, why “false” information was classified?

        This Brock Turner?

        The caption reads:

        Brock Turner, a Stanford student who raped and assaulted an unconscious female student behind a dumpster at a fraternity party, was recently released from jail after serving only three months. Some are shocked at how short this sentence is. Others who are more familiar with the way sexual violence has been handled in the criminal justice system are shocked that he was found guilty and served any time at all. What do you think?

      I had to check what cabinet position he held and was shocked he wasn’t in there. He seems like he has all the qualifications they look for.

      Yup if this is the move, it will literally not matter who was told what. Let’s just see if schumer is on a plane out of the country in the next week or pledging allegiance to the orange

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!
