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!

People seem to forget from his first term and the giant manual that is Project 2025, the Donvict going to do what he says he's going to do. He may take a million circles to get there, but he'll eventually get there. It will be completely half-assed, to the detriment of humanity, and he will somehow get richer along with his inner circle sycophants. It's not like he was secretly plotting. The point is, quit acting surprised.

Switching sides?? Which side was this? The side when Trump said he would take over Greenland and make Canada the 51st state? And fuck NATO?

So Trump is now “switching sides” to not do any of those things? Right? Yes? Switching?

Glad to hear it. Thanks for the important breaking news update.

Those are still coming. He needs to consolidate power at home more first. That's what the insane funding for ICE and Alligator Auschwitz are for. We're still not even 6 months into this nightmare.

Switching sides? Donald Trump has never had any real interest in helping Ukraine. That was true the first time he was president. This is not new.

The US is not, the current administration is.

As far as the rest if the world is concerned, there's no difference.

As far as the current administration is concerned, that is in fact the case.

Don't worry, plenty of non-Russians think Ukrainian lives are an acceptable price to pay for...

... not really sure what they think they're getting out of it. But it's very important that Russian fascists get to genocide all the Ukrainians they want, apparently.

I think that by now no one from EU got real serious about it. Like it's a problem they can donate $$$ to solve, sign a petition or two and stay good. No one gets to understand that russian agression is the existential threat to everyone, and if not stopped, it may as well swallow a part of EU too.

I shall enlighten you on the holy cause. A vision came to me, showing why the LORD's faithful fully back Putin demolishing Ukraine.

I saw God and Putin speaking. God told Putin that he's doing a recall - too many Ukrainians were born, so God needs the Ukrainians to return to Heaven so that they can have births that follow God's design. Putin understood this command from the LORD, and is seeing this holy mission through. God promised Putin that he'll become an angel if he succeeds in God's mission.

Trump and much of the Republican base have seen this vision as well. Naturally, they are also doing their part in seeing God's mission through.

MAGA loves Putin. They love anyone who does whatever they want without consequences.

Trumpler is only concerned about himself. There are no other sides than his. And now he has no clue what is going on because he is a bitter senile old man propped up by the rich wannabe ghouls who think they'll be made into a vampire one day.
