Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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.

No the fuck he did not
Lmfao there is absolutely no fucking way orangeboi works for more than 1.2 to 1.5 hours a day.
You guys remember when some people were pushing the whole "but it's just a meme" thing?
I do. I remember thinking "his own bodyguard said he had to have help to do that. No fucking way was it suicide."
Also, define "work". I submit that this guy has never done any real work in his life.
Him doing chopper-talk or talking to his gaggle of tiktok/youtube influencers called a "press pool" in front of the fireplace doesn't really constitute "work". That's just him soaking up the spotlight, which a narcissist like him feeds off of.
Getting off your ass and to the bathroom so you don't shit your diaper from all the medication you take is one of the most difficult and demanding things you could do in your day... How can you expect anyone to get anything done afterwards?
Didn't he serve fries once?
LOL, good point. I stand corrected. I guess he did indeed do some real work the one time...and now that you mention it, he did that photo-op with the garbage truck, too, where he nearly missed the door.
No, but he did stand near a fryer long enough to get his photo taken once.
I think it’s more his staff that’s working 12-15 hour days. Trump himself just golfs.
Really, just Marco Rubio. He's the only kinda competent person around; he's not that smart, but if he walks into a room in the White House, chances are good he's the smartest one there. That's why they keep giving him new jobs to do.
Except you can't manage people like that. Dude is going to burn out, and then what?
Lol what? Is this Marco Rubio's publicist? Anyone who still believes Rubio is competent at this point hasn't been paying attention at all.
Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio knows what he’s doing. He doesn't know shit about what he’s doing.
Try reading again. I didn't say he was smart. I said he was the smartest in the room. Which he is. It's not that hard to be the smartest when you're surrounded by idiots.
Yup, it's just an indication of how low the bar is in the Whitehouse that fucking Marco Rubio is the most competent person there right now.
If reading and shitposting on Twitter counts, I might be able to believe 6 hours tops.
Working hard on getting sports teams back to racist names and making Coke use sugar instead of HFCS.
Such important work.
He can just put the whole thing to rest by releasing his birth certificate.
you all are saying this but i'd rather have that he works zero hours a day and lets actually competent people make the decisions.
You're assuming there's competent people around him.
He works an hour tops
