    Bullshit. His base still has over 80% approval rating on him. Fuck off with these headlines. His supporters are not “turning on him” for fucks sakes.

    LOL, the very fact that PEDOnald the Pumpkinhead is in office gives the lie to “you can’t fool your base”:

    1. They think he cares about them.
    2. They think an effete elitist from Manhattan is a REEL MURIKAN.
    3. They think he was a successful businessman.
    4. They think he’s “great at deals”.

    And so on. Of course, you could have asked almost any liberal about any of the above, but would the base ever listen to a liberal? Fuck no, that might make them gay.

    Conservatives are the stupidest people on earth. They shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions on their own or operate heavy machinery.

    The base is taking about Iran and not the Epstein files. I’d say Trump’s done a fine job fooling his base.

      Eh, not sure they care about children. That’s just a talking point they like to use to repress and control women.

        One in 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18 and one in six boys. 96% of those are by family. Do the math, most of them are offenders too, they will never actually care.

        That’s why he ran as a Republican. Supposedly Pumpkinhead had some Democratic leanings at one point in his life.

    Donald Trump’s Truth Social post praising negotiations with Iran as “productive and professional” triggered an immediate backlash Sunday — not from Democrats, but from his own most fervent supporters, who accused him of repeating Barack Obama’s mistakes and demanded military destruction of the Iranian regime instead

    I take it this is a different faction from that non-interventionist MAGA faction?

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!
