      That’s your reaction to the news of a politician discussing exterminating his political opponents? Really?

        The dailybeast is barely a tabloid at best.

          You’ve gotten replies with other sources containing the same information. Do you care to edit your post, or do you want to double down on your missing-the-point attitude?

            The dailybeast is still a tabloid. That hasn’t changed.

              I see you’ve chosen the latter. How disappointing, but not surprising

          This answer has nothing to do with what you were asked. Cope harder why don’t you? 🙄

      Is there something contained in this article, 85% of which is direct quotes from Donald Trump, you think is factually incorrect or biased?

        “Your honor I object!”

        “On what basis?”

        “On the basis that it’s devastating to my case!”

        I’d rather not get my news from a tabloid that has a track record of being an awful source of, well anything, regardless of the topic. Is Trumps rhetoric horrifying, yes. That doesn’t suddenly make this a good source of information.

          It doesn’t matter whether this is generally a good source of information - it matters if this specific article is credible and accurate.

          It is - almost the entire article is direct quotes - so your complaint is supremely moronic.

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!
