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!"

More please. All governors should be doing this. Specifically Gov. Newsom: You want my vote? Then stand up to Trump and his cronies thus way!
He's too far gone already. He platformed Michael Savage, Steve Bannon, and Charlie Kirk within the span of a week. If you're going to interview the right wing you need to space it out so we don't all puke and you should interview those in actual positions of power. Those other guys have never had to put their money where there mouth is and actually act as public servants and they're running for nothing so they have really nothing to lose.
Platforming, so 2020
Brilliant rebuttal - classy and cutting.
As for his desire of things "full throated," Felon Drink Bleach can go and full throat himself.
"I'm sorry you think you deserve an apology."
Full throated is an odd term.
I'm surprised he got it right, and didn't say "deep throated," or something even more incomprehensible. That's how "big league" became "bigly," and "veritable genius" became "stable genius," etc.
He's classically ignorant, a person with an expensive education who was too entitled to actually learn ANYTHING. He almost certainly was the guy who bullied others to do his homework, so he learned literally nothing, except how to exploit others for his own gain.
He is proud of, and brags about, attending Wharton Business School, but one of his professors has said that he was "the dumbest goddam student I ever had."
There is a photo of a teen Trump standing in full military dress, along with his parents. That photo reveals a lot. There are only two reasons that rich parents send their kid to a military school. They are either a family with a long military tradition, and all of their kids are educated in military schools, or the kid is so incorrigible that they are threatened with, and finally sent to, military school. The Trump family has absolutely no military tradition, and in fact, Agent Krasnov's grandfather came to America specifically to avoid military sevice.
So he was so ill-behaved, that even his sociopathic father couldnt ignore it, and was forced to try to deal with this intransigent child by sending him to military school. History has proven that it didn't work.
Good for her even if it was a little too polite for my tastes.
But you guys don't understand! Sports!!!
"Full throat this, pigboy."
