Rules:

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.

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.

Who wants to bet that this attack had little-to-no military objective, and is just murdering civilians because Trump thinks that will make him look 'tough'.

The plan is to get into a war so that he can be elected a third term like Roosevelt and then pave a path towards a dictatorship. War can also boost the economy, if you win. Might be the only way he knows how.

Well when Roosevelt was elected 4 times, it was actually legal back then. And he's the reason why the 2 term limit amendment exists. But of course, that requires actually following the law, so...

Yeah, and a court that actually enforces it

You think they invited Trump into that Signal chat this time or did Steve Miller speak for him again?
