Giving him the headlines for saying shit like this is, exactly what he desires. Because it works.

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!

That's why I like the rule you put up in your politics community about only posting things he's done or actually doing.
Thanks Sir Patrick. :) Unfortunately, I had to lock it and have me as the only one posting. It was really hard to get people to understand what that meant.
Oh, I didn't realize that (Just though you were the most active).
I always appreciated that it was smaller and was a bit of a hidden gem. This community gets...charged a little too often (that's an intentional understatement lol). The only other one I kind-of liked was Beehaw's, but lately it's just a lot of knee-jerk comments of little substance.
If you ever decide to re-open it, I'm not interested in modding, but I can be sure to report things.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and I appreciate the kind words. I set it up to kind of keep track and share if people were interested. It was getting where people didn't understand the vibe. It seemed they were well intentioned, but it just got too hard to keep saying the same things. I don't want to ban people who are doing what they think is helpful either. It'll probably stay locked.
But please, if you see people shit stirring or trolling, report it. I only ban for a few days for the non-serial or non-serious stuff anyway. It seems to keep the professional trolls away.
Thanks again.
You've already used the first envelope Don.
Didn't Trump at one point claim Joe wasn't actually doing anything and it was Trump that was running the country in the 2020 term?
Authoritarians always paint their opposition as simultaneously weak and incapable, and strong and manipulative.
Yeah, and a lot of his toothless base thought the same thing, that he "really" won and that Biden was just a puppet there who would step aside for "The Storm" to take all the Big Bad Ebil Liberals/Pedophiles (but in this stupid Qnut narrative, the Venn diagram of pedophiles and prominent Democrats is one circle) off to Gitmo and let donvict reign supreme like the orange god-emperor he was meant to be.
I wish this was from The Onion. They are very, very fucking stupid and they found their perfect match in donvict. If anyone needs to understand just how fucking stupid the base is, one only need to study something like "pizzagate".
Irony is, a lot of his policies existed through Biden's term and just expired recently. Trump is literally blaming himself.
Yep, part of the reason Biden lost is that he didn't make any major changes to economic policy (aside from stuff like COVID-19 relief spending and the Inflation Reduction Act). By not reversing Trump-era polices (let alone making policy in the other direction, to rein in corporate power and reduce wealth inequality), Biden failed to materially improve the economic prospects of the working class and thus left them vulnerable to Trump's demagoguery.
As long as his lies are allowed to spread nothing will get better.
Someone needs to muzzle that dog!
lol bitch got BDS
It's pretty simple folks. If something bad happens, it's someone else's fault. If something good happens, Trump did that.
See how liberating it is not having to worry about who is right and wrong? Life is just so much simpler knowing that all good things come from Trump. Ahhhhhhh, zen.
SAD!
I knew it!
