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!

Could you fucking imagine going to prison for a decade because of that orange sack of shit? Treating politics as a religion is a complete mystery to me. Kinda like religion itself, but that's another rathole.

No I can't but they can.. they have been trained to fall down for him the way they would for ' jesus'.. it's actually very scary.. I grew up Christian.. one thing they taught us, was to be prepared to be imprisoned or killed of Jesus, for our faith... But to wear it like a badge for the reward in heaven... They took the teaching and applied it to trump, their antichrist and that why you see people so desperately clinging to him.. they literally do think he is a Jesus of sorts, and they are more than willing to die for him and got to prison... If given the chance they will burn the whole.world down for dominance and obedience... very scary things..

It's crazy to me that, if you believed in that kind of thing, Trump being the antichrist seems obvious.

Since I was sadly raised in it and I know how they think, I think it was rather easy for them to fall for it, because they are desperate for some physical /verbal guidance after not hearing God talk to them like he did to Moses in their heads... I am glad I am not a Christian now, but being a naive kid growing up in faith cause my family forced me,, wasn't my fault.. I just know how they think because of it...

What I find the most insane part of this, is that the bible DID say that it's own followers of Christ would turn away for an antichrist.. even Jesus told them they would.. many 'christian' people claimed to never let that happen. That they would never commit blasphemy.. that they love Jesus too much. WELL we ALL watched these lies fall apart on real time and then we all saw them do what they said they would never do, praise a false god.. (false by their own teachings and claims)

The current stance of the GOP Christians today actually has nothing to do with what the Bible really said, and all the more to do with the mental illness and unchecked bafooneray these people are doing in my opinion
