      It’s so weird that this is the statement that makes some of his supporters question his sanity

      Where are you getting this from?

          Oh I see. I guess I figured these were plenty of non supporters on truth social. Even if just these to troll. So I didn’t read that as supporters attacking him for it.

            Biden is on Truth Social. And, at least at one point, he had more followers on it than Trump.

            And yes, Biden uses it to troll Trump.

              So, basically, interpreting that comment as saying supporters are attacking him for this doesn’t hold water.

                I mean it may be true. That person who asked where Ivanka is and why she isn’t doing anything about it sounds like a Trump supporter.

                    “OMFG [Ivanka Trump where the hell are you?!?!?!? Politics aside do something FFS,” the user, Jil, wrote.

                    Does that really sound like someone who isn’t planning to vote for Trump?

              The Trump fans mostly follow Trump’s personal account which is automatically added to your follow list when you sign up there, they don’t have much reason to seek out the Team Trump campaign account. Biden’s audience is tiny on that platform compared to Trump’s audience.

      Turns out that even mental gymnastic experts who can rationalize an imsurrection attemt as simultaneously benign and a false flag attempt, while saying that Trump did nothing wrong AND trying to say “why didn’t media care as much about the BLM protests”, have to admit that this MF ain’t no Elvis

        I mean, look at him. Is that supposed to be a…face? It’s just plain tragic.

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!
