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!

This "revenge" narrative is complete bullshit when the vast majority of his victims have done absolutely no harm to anybody. Dude is simply sociopathic.

Rooms and rooms could be filled with books psychoanalysing him and his actions, if books aren't outlawed by then.

Childhood mental abuse (dad) + grandiose praise (mom) is my bet; I know shit about psychology, just from experienced observation.

If you're a fat fuck and you can't fit in one?

Eh, just make one big hole and throw the whole bunch in.

The energy a narcissist can commit to vengeance is unimaginable to the regular person.

It's not gonna stop until he's dead

Just a wee massive stroke is good. Doesn't have to kill him, just enough that he refuses to step down but enough that he can't speak coherently or hold a pen to sign an EO. Make it a constitutional crisis.

Knowing the Republican party, they'll try and pull a weekend at Bernie's. Pretending Trump is alive and well, just so they can continue to use him to jam through their agenda.

Maybe if the viters didn't let him in in the first place, it wouldn't be so difficult to get him back out.
