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!

Tell me that time that Trump dropped bombs on anyone. I'll wait. It will be much harder then if you try to do this for bush or Regan or Clinton or biden or Obama or any other president you or your parents lived through. Let that sink in. The super evil viole t fascist is the only president who didn't drop bombs on any innocent civilians. Does that really add up for you?

Relaxed rules in 2017 resulting in increased civilian casualties liar
I didn't lie about shit. Work on reading comprehension. He supported way fewer bombs ings and war than almost any president in the last 100 years. This is easily checked. The evil fascist murdering president so ehow has a more peaceful track record than any you can find. The only response you have is to make up arguments to fight against. That should tell you something. It won't, but it should.

You did, repeatedly in the same thread. Your goalpost repeatedly moved so you can throw out empty insults like :
I don't know if you are a troll, a Russian paid professional troll, a shill or an idiot but I do know that you are a liar.
Look, I slightly exaggerated a 1 to a 0. You know full well that this is absolutely a red herring and the o lyrics thing you have to stand on. I won't pretend to think you are a bot or a paid shill, that's absurd. You are fully aware of what you are doing though.
A 300 percent increase isn't a 1 to 0. Besides, a 1 bring true and a 0 being false would mean insisting so strongly again and again it's 0 when there is one three or fourth is not true.
Oh I thought you "misspoke." Hmm now it was an exaggeration. Weird how you contradict yourself repeatedly
If you don't know that misspoke and exaggeration are the same thing in many contexts, then you just don't have a very strong command of the English language yet.
Says the Russian who wrote "rapicist"
It's called a typo, I'm on my phone. Again, it's no surprise that you have to grasp at tiny, irrelevant things to try to "win". This will keep happening to you until you have something of substance.
Sounds like something someone caught in a lie would say
Yeah if your keyboard was set to natively type English it probably wouldn't let you type that but go on yes I have just zero evidence if you don't count the numerous clues and self contradictions
Try it, see if it works. I have 4 languages my keyboard alternates between. Not everyone using foreign languages is a hired Russian spy. You're youth is adorable.
You are a paid Russian actor if I've ever seen one. Go ahead and pretend that's not a thing, but contrary to the moronic assertion, I'm not 12
If you are 12 then I'm impressed by you. If you are over 22 then I am disappointed.
