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!

Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

You know, if you just want to help the environment of Trump's golf courses, and also not be arrested for trespassing, seeds are really cheap. Especially hearty grasses.

I feel like planting bamboo all over the place would be quite a nuisance. I've heard it's extraordinarily hard to get rid of and grows very quickly.

Couldn't that potentially fuck up the surrounding ecosystem?

Mint I've heard is possibly worse

Yeah why not. Also might as well add urine

And salt. Salt kills grass.

And liquid ass in each golf hole.

Marijuana grows pretty fast or maybe some Japanese knotweed.

Poa annua is a real sonofabitch.

My understanding is that one can grow a different variety of grass, which will look different than the original grass, and so a message in contrasting grass colors can emerge over days and weeks. And thus convey a message, e.g. I once heard from a veteran that someone had walked across a parade field dropping seed, and making the letters Phi, Tau, Alpha, i.e. FTA or Fuck The Army, arise some time later. It's labor intensive to remove it, once established.

Cause a minor annoyance for the groundskeeper

Well Trump probably doesn't like wild grasses taking over his precious fairways and greens.
