Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourselves any idol.
You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not give false testimony.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, wife, or property.
He is 10 for 10 as far as I can tell.
I think he has no respect for any gods whatsoever, and the murder thing is not widely accepted, so maybe 1 and 6.
He's murdered a bunch of Iranians, including schoolgirls. So it definitely fits.
As far as gods go, his god is himself, so that counts too, imo.
It's quite specific as to what is covered, he'd probably get out on a technicality.
He murdered kids he raped
Like I said, not widely accepted. This was a Channel 5 morning show.
He's already posted a picture of him as God. That's gotta be enough to cross number 1 off.
He places himself as a second Jesus. That sounds like putting himself above God.
Dow Jones counts.
Implied in "1" is that you believe in God. So 9/10 easy.
I mean, in all fairness, who isn't batting at least 6 or 7 of the ten? I haven't committed murder, and assuming you don't subscribe to the notion that lustful thoughts = adultery, I haven't done that either. The honoring your mother and father thing also depends on where you draw the line. I've never cursed their names, or anything. But I've definitely disobeyed and argued with them. I've definitely done the rest. So I'm 7-8ish myself, maybe 9 if you're a stickler and a prude.
Yeah I’m planning on getting married, cheating, and killing the spouse to complete ten commandment bingo myself.
A person has to have goals in life
I definitely don't honor my father, because he's a rapist. Which, of course, is not against the 10 commandments.
You've given false testimony?
Have I lied? ... yeah. So have you. So has everybody. Hell, it's a significant child development stage.
False testimony (or false witness) isn't just lying in general - it's slander.
That seems to be a matter of debate or denominational disagreement. I was definitely taught that it was all lying in the church I grew up in. But I'm also sure that I probably, at some point growing up, blamed someone else for something that I did to avoid trouble.
Yeah I'm at 9 if you follow Jewish rules of adultery (everyone was on board, but I have slept with people who are married to someone else). 8 if you don't respect intellectual property. But also I'm a pagan, so these aren't my religious rules.
maybe he honors the sabath and his parents???
He plays golf practically every day, that's literally the most holey activity of all. Doesn't matter what day of the week is considered the Sabbath, I think we can reasonably conclude he doesn't break that specific commandment.
