    Stupid american politicians aside, I hate how this community is just US news nowadays.

    Yeah I know it’s because of the significant inherent overlap, but do we not have some /c/usnews or such?

      Stupid american politicians aside

      …that’s like 60% of the headlines in the world that fit this community hand waved away… 80% if you only count the ones in English.

      It’s like going to a baker and complaining that there’s too many flour-based products…

      People liking paying attention to me is more important than anything else in my life

      Like a shitty child, he’s just looking for attention. Good or bad, attention is attention. Bad attention is easier to get so here we are.

    I dislike Trump as much as the next sane, intelligent human, but context matters. The ways specifically talking about going to NBC and running a show. And there, yes, ratings are all that matters.

      In reality: yes.

      In the minds of his cult following: nope, talking about Democrats, somehow, or joking.
