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!

My favorite part of this entire article is the author referring to Trump as a "former game show host."
I like the one calling him Rapist Who Wanted Vice President Dead Compares Self to Navalny
People keep calling him a "game show host" and I feel like I'm missing something. Are people calling the apprentice a "game show"? Thatt was reality TV imo, not a game show.
I thought more game show than reality, like survivor. Apparently the genre is "reality competition"
But no one calls survivor a “game show”
Yes I know it’s a game. But that genre of tv is entirely different. And that should be apparent to anyone who has watched tv once in the last 30 years.
Wikipedia calls it a "reality game show" for non Americans.
Your comment was unnecessarily rude and arrogant.
It's a game show. The contestants are all competing for a prize. Why is the term game show so offensive to you haha
Can't the Venn diagram overlap?
The two genres? Sure. That show? No. In no way does that show resemble a game show to me.
I'll take your word for it because I never watched a single episode. I just had it in my head that it was a last man standing kind of thing where he fired one person at a time until there was one "winner," but maybe that's way off.
Yeah it was just corporate Survivor
Oh. Are you a TV genre authority?
Game show is more accurate, given he's not a real businessman.
Reality tv isn't particularly "real".
I love that description of him. I've been calling him that since he threw his hat in the ring back in 2015. I forget who I first heard/read it from, but it's one of the nicer accurate descriptions of Rapey McTinyD.
