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!

Donald Trump released a furious tirade Friday over coverage of his trade tariffs on MSNBC.

The network is a frequent target for Trump, who has claimed it's a liberal outlet that works in partnership with the Democratic Party. He calls it MSDNC.

Though he doesn’t refer to it directly, his Friday fury followed a Thursday night segment in which host Lawrence O’Donnell called Trump an “illiterate clown” and “a rogue president violating American law on tariffs.”

I think he’s actually illiterate. When have you seen him read anything for more than a few seconds?

It wasn't a mistake! He misspelled it intentially

I knew the man was crazy when he employed the use of Sharpie markers. He belongs in a mental asylum.

He's a manchild

Who gives a shit. It isnt '15 or '16 anymore. We all know it for a decade now. He's a moron. We know. Could we focus on the fact that the fucking US is turning into a fascist state?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

... MSNBC has been warning about the rise of fascism since 15' as well.

Yep. Thousands upon thousands of ... shit now I forgot the term, presidential decrees? At least concentrate on those, and, if you would, pick those that really matter. That actively dismantle democracy and directly hurt people. Not some media tiff.

Executive order is the term you are looking for.

We need something to chuckle at while we're taking a break from making IEDs and bioweapons in our terrorist cells.

Illiterate clown is a compliment to that ignorant bloated fat stinking fat fuck.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Oy, don't insult fat stinking fat fucks by equating them with Trump.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

When I first read this I thought "lie and cheat" was trump giving advice or like his motto or something

"Wahh! MSDNC is biased! I'm going to go to GOPFox news and cry about it! Or better yet MAGANewsmax! They're much more unbiased because they follow everything I say and never question anything unless it's a Democrat saying it as any unbiased network should!"

O Donnell isn’t wrong. It just hurts to hear it out loud 😂

Next say it to his face during one of the so called interviews.
