    My money is attacking Mexico without a declaration of war. Brown people are down there, it justifies the ICE budget, and other bullshit.

      A civil one, at this rate. He already hates the people in the country and there’s no one to go to war with since he became but-buddies with all the dictators and, despite everything, attacking Europe would probably trigger a civil war anyway.

    Ok Donald. If you get Putin to leave Ukraine on Zelensky’s terms, then maybe we can talk about something other than Epstein for 5 minutes. Maybe.

    However, if you fuck over Ukraine, and then try to claim a victory for authoritarianism as a victory for peace (which you almost assuredly will) we double down on Epstein so fucking fast even JD Vance will start to regret betraying you to Rupert Murdoch before the midterms.

    Everything is a distraction from the West giving up on liberty. It’s not only the US.

    tldr; new UK laws are extremly privacy invading requiering ID and face photos to acces any explicit material including sites like Wikipedia, similiar to some USA state laws and it looks like EU might just follow

      These aren’t distractions, they’re just doing multiple awful things around the same time. Sometimes the timing is, sure, but these are all very real things that they’re doing. Calling it a “distraction” makes it sound likenthey wouldn’t have been so evil if they weren’t afraid but they love this shit.

    I think Trump cares more about the Epstein files than his supporters do. He is actually the one making a big deall out of it.

    I just don’t get why.

    He’s going to float the idea of giving Alaska to Russia, distracting people from the Epstein fiasco.

    In other words: drumpf is a RAPIST and a PEDOPHILE

          My understanding is that glass from the screen likely shattered and hit his ear?

          In any case, a little better aim and we would have a better world.

            i found this in an article after three minutes of research

            https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/photos-of-trumps-ear-before-and-after-his-rally-shooting-arent-what-we-expected/ar-AA1p4Azy

            Seeing the Republican candidate’s ear intact had some questioning the source of Trump’s wound. “This is so strange, does anyone else think trump didn’t actually get shot?” an X user commented. Others were quick to point out that while the flesh damage was not substantial that it was clear Trump had in fact sustained injury. “Disagree, there is evidence of damage at the top,” one X user replied. “How grown adults can’t understand that a 5.56mm hole in your ear can be sewn up and properly heal is beyond me,”

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!
