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!

These people aren't serious human beings, not to say they aren't threats but well look at him. I'm pretty sure me at my most unserious is still for more serious than them at their base, mind you I look perpetually feral.
Until a few years ago I'd dismiss photos like this as fake, but it turns out he actually has a merch line with that logo and trump as the punisher...
When the top priority of the FBI director is selling merch...
Is that a Donald Punisher logo?🤮
Also wearing a Santa hat for some fucking reason
It's camo because there's a war on Christmas
Which side is he on?
Not Christ...
It was just included of the Sweatshop Grifter Merch Kit C from AliExpress.
What a little dick loser.
Hey, for some of us, it's not entirely our fault.
"Ach, I dinnae'no wae yeh bin, me boy, bit I kin see'yeh won ferhst prrize!"
Lol what a fucking dweeb
Are those challenge coins in the background or patches?
Both. He has the challenge coins next to his ridiculous logo.
(The patches with his logo might be stickera)
Donald Santa Punisher - not sure if I want to laugh or puke my head off.
And the play on his first name was never funny or inventive to begin with. Every time I see it I think "yep, that's the intellectual level meme grifting works on."
Creative writing tells me that he's realizing that the shit barge he lashed himself to is sinking and the daft cunt has no idea what to do, so he's just drinking himself to oblivion while waiting to see how it all shakes down.
I’m legitimately wondering if he truly believed trump wasn’t in the Epstein files and saw some shit that rocked his world. Even if not that, isn’t there a saying “never meet your heroes?” I legitimately wonder if kash spent enough time with trump and realized that them damn libs were not, in fact, full of shit and screeching about nothing.
Given he seems to have a 24/7 PTSD flashback look in his eyes, I'd believe it
Oh, the irony... All of us are drinking ourselves silly for very similar reasons, all while opposing and hating people like this.
The thumbnail made him look like a chad, but when you see the large pic, there is desperation in his eyes and pursed lips. The madness of a trapped animal.
He's been like that ever since that famous press conference at which it was obvious he'd just seen the reality of the Epstein Files, and realised what his boss actually was, and that he now knew too much for Trump to be comfortable. The fear, the pale shaking terror. It never left him.
Now he's just drowning the memories in booze, trying to forget the faces of the dead girls, living it up before the regime falls and he faces charges, or Trump decides to silence him, or his own liver takes pity on him. The fear is his master.
It's ironic, because the actual likely outcome is no consequences will fall on him. Nobody gets punished these days. Even if the next admin somehow miraculously decides to actually punish the guilty, he's far down the list, and silence will protect him.
This would normally mean a revoked security clearance
I'd hazard that the absences can be pretty easily explained by the episodes of excessive drinking.
Uh oh, another teleporter.
He's got a bad case of the brown bag flu.
Noooo ... 😲
I'm a time traveler!
May his liver wither and fail
I'm great with the idea, but bet the bastard would jump to the top of the list above people that actually deserve to be saved. All because of his fancy title.
Sadly, you're probably right
I bet that dude hasn't slept without blacking out in a year.
Went from outspoken podcaster jackass to terrified looking shithead overnight.
Krash Patel.
Seems like they just hired Don jr’s coke dealer as fbi director
Based on previous headlines, this sounds very normal.
If you're not going to have somebody competent in the role, a missing or incapacitated figurehead might be the next best thing. It's why I'm not as bothered by Trump's golf trips anymore.
Tens of millions of dollars spent on golf is a bargain compared to the billions he steals from his office.
I'm just amazed that he seems to have no private life whatsoever and relies on security to wake him up.
