Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Sure. "A joke."
"Just kidding, heh (but seriously, I don't care about you.)"
What did Trump do for Nevadans when he was president?
Exactly.
Any trump supporter reading this will see this thread and know that the Democrats are delusional because the full context of the quote shows that it was not to be taken seriously and within seconds Trump not only dismissed it as a joke but called that liberals would take this quote out of context and run with it.
Which is exactly what is happening. Besides giving Republicans more reasons to stick their heads in the sand, what on earth is the point of discussing this? Trump himself called out that it's just more good publicity for him.
I couldn't care less about what "any Trump supporter" may think of what I write. I'll take "any" as "the average Trump supporter," and we already know they are not the brightest, and they're not to be taken seriously about "what they think about them libs."
All I care about is that I'll make my vote count.
Correct. Not to be taken seriously - by them. But people know who that piece kf garbage is, and he was serious.
Correct. Except that it is he who conveniently says that it would be taken out of context. Lol oh Trump, so funny! What will he say next? "All jews must be exterminated- lol just kidding see the libs get all worked up"? Hilarious! Truly a 4D chess move.
In a decent scenario, such a "joke" would have been career ending.
