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!

None of this, however, disputes or refutes Jesse’s factual statement of Trump being a huge chickenshit coward and draft dodger— who has completely abused the freedom others have provided.

Facts are facts.

This is 100% correct. I just wanted to point out that Ventura also has a few screws loose. He can be (and in this case, is) both crazy and correct.

I always marvel at Dotard Don’s ability to play so much fucking golf with “bone spurs” that also, when it was convenient, somehow prevented him from serving.

hahaahahahahaha, like the man walks all 18 holes. Or walks at all. The man gets his fat ass carried around in a golf cart, and makes one of his suckups be his caddy, He's been known as a cheater in golf for decades. You could tell me that he doesn't even bother to actually swing the golf club at all, and I'd believe it. Hell, I'd put 2:1 odds down that says he doesn't even play all 18 holes and skips the tough ones.

He’s been known as a cheater in golf for decades

That's the funniest thing though... someone as "rich" and connected as he claims to be, he could have every single masters champion for the last 50 years give him personal lessons at his private golf courses. But instead, he plays multiple times per week and still cheats, and still is pretty mid at golf.

Taking lessons would require showing humility and admitting he isn't already naturally the best at something.
