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!

Wait, I thought he was convinced she only inherited the Indian genetics somehow?

Trump said she recently became black, so now he will do the dignified thing and only use racism about her being black since she can't be two things at the same time. /s

yeah yeah Mr "Executive Time", projecting much I see.

She sure is lazy with all those rallies and interviews and events while he doggedly cancels almost everything claiming exhaustion.

I mean….let's do a music.

He's such a hard worker he took 15 minutes out of his packed schedule to lean out of a widow with a box of fries.

Alright, listen...

Insults are meant to hurt the person you're hurling them at. That's the point of insults. "Lazy" is a pretty generic one, and it's kind of a reach to say it's racially-motivated. Yes, Trump is a Racist Wannabe-Nazi, but come on. Enough with the sensationalism.

It's only generic when you don't know your history. Trump doesn't exactly come across as a history scholar, though. He also doesn't care either way.

Side Note: If you ever hear anyone using the word 'itis' you should know its origins. The Itis is that sudden sleepiness we sometimes feel. Think post turkey dinner food coma. The original, full word is "nig**ritis" and it was a highly racist term used to describe that sleepiness because black people are lazy. "Oh man, I ate some much and now I've caught the nig**ritis". I know a lot of black people that use the word, not knowing of ita origins or true meaning.

Just want to clarify for others like me who might initially have a negative reaction to this claim: this is referring specifically to a phrase like "I have the itis" (which personally I have never heard). The suffix -itis, of course, does not come from this and is much older.

And she's always late. -orange

I have seen more than one specific story about her being late to events recently. She calls him Hitler. To me they're both pieces of shit and both comments are fair game.
