Rules:

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.

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.

CNN anchor John Berman said Tuesday as the news broke. “We think that’s what the administration announced just moments ago.”

No one is entirely sure exactly what the Dementia in Chief is ever saying.

Macron added, “We are not going to take part in any forceful operation within a framework that does not seem clear to me.”

Others have said Trump risks “humiliation in full view of the world.”

That implies that he hasn't already been an embarrassment multiple times prior to this.

He's moving from being an embarrassment to being downright dangerous.

He's been dangerous to us for a long time, but now he is damaging every other country on the planet. Can't one of those foreign intelligence agencies deploy an operative to "handle" this situation decisively? Please?

A foreign agency has already been handling your leader—that's kind of the problem.
