    Yet another example of trump, who allegedly means what he says, needing to be translated because he didn’t really mean what he said.

    That’s pretty funny. Cotton and all the other people claiming this are in direct opposition to Trump’s explanation. He said they wouldn’t need to vote “because the country will be fixed, and frankly, we won’t even need your vote anymore.”

    So he was joking that he’d fix the country? Are people sprouting off before they’re getting their talking points?

      He’s not saying “fixed” as in “repaired”…

        Oh, I’m well aware, but that’s a good call out. That’s how they’ll spin it now that he’s tried though.

    Oh, hahahaha. Just a joke! Well, then. I’m sure this counts as hilarious to the creepy weirdos like Cotton and donnie.

    Sorry if normal Americans will take this kind of thing as most definitely NOT a joke.

    Tom Cotton should get slapped so hard that he won’t have to chew anymore.

    Surely, I must be joking, because that’s a horrible thing to say. Even about subhuman worms like Cotton.

    Fascists are always “just joking”, until they’re in power.

      Yep. Just like they pretend to be interested in “free speech” (for them only, though) until they are in power. Then no more such talk about free speech.

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

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!
