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.

Why the Hands Off protest unfortunately accomplished nothing. Bet 100 dollars he never even heard it happen. Since he was golfing that day. Bet his handlers made sure of it.
So we need to take the fucking protest to his fucking golf course. 5 million people there would get his attention.
Why would he be stressed? He avoided prison and right now not only he is getting richer but he is surrounded by people who suck him off. All the while he plays golf for free.
Worse, he is paying himself to golf with our money at his courses.
I am amazed that there is no method or willingness to stop this deranged, vengeful idiot. Balance of power indeed. 250 years was a good run though. No outside Vandals or Barbarians like in Rome's fall, just an insider guy with delusions of grandeur and hurt feelings.
He doesnt golf to relax. He holds with people who he don't want to meet in official capacity, and then he makes the government pay 40x times the going rate to have secret service stay at his resort when he is golfing.
It is just yet another cash grab.
He doesn't even get the adrenaline rush of racing the golf cart around or taking it off any sweet jumps.
It's almost like he's a huge scumbag and just does all of this for money...
Rome is burning, and Ceasar is fiddling.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Why Caesar?
Because I misremembered the phrase.
But it's right there in the post...
I didn't read that far down.
But the salad is great.
“They are hungry? Let them play golf!”
Let them eat at the turn!
Just another day for King ~~Louis~~ Trump in ~~Versailles~~ Mar-a-Lago
Quit calling him a king
What about Supreme Leader, Dear Leader, or Grand Marshal?
Queen then?
I don't think we should normalize misgendering somebody as an insult. He's a fascist, not a woman or trans person.
He still could be a queen.
That’s God Emperor Trump, Tremendous Monarch of The Holy Empire of America.
How about would-be despot?
Why “would-be”? He’s the premier of the free world.
