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!

Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.
My wife says he sounds like Red Foreman.
Hahahaha. Oh my god, that's so funny. I cannot unsee(unhear) this now....I need to find a supercut of him calling people a dumbass.
Ask and you shall receive.
*Note: I'm in a really loud bar and can't listen to the video but I assume it's what you were looking for.
Related - anyone see that episode when Red Foreman yells at Ford for pardoning Nixon? LOLOLOL.

We could all use a lot more Red Foremans in the GOP...
Believe it or not that's also one of the bad outcomes.
Hello, Bad Take Inc.? Yeah one of your employees got internet access again
You can live in your delusional world all you want, but Kamala winning is a bad outcome for the US. You thought J6 was bad? They were caught with their pants down last time. This time they're fucking prepared for a fight. You're going to see buttfuckery from the Republicans like we've never seen before. Someone else posted a convincing argument for a contingency election whereby Donut Dump loses the popular vote, AND the EC, but the House (led by Putin appointee Mike Johnson) gives the Presidency to Donald anyway.
And if that doesn't happen, expect a fuckin onslaught of court cases from the alt-right terrorists. And the ENTIRE TIME Blohard Dunk is going to be SCREAMING to his base about how their country is being stolen from them. And they've proven again and again that they don't care about reality because they're so transfixed by what he says.
The constitution is going to be irreparably damaged this election cycle, you can basically count on it.
A peaceful transfer of power is always the best possible, most sought after outcome. Donnie won't let it happen though. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some kind of civil war or huge instability breaks out.
China and Russia (who have spent decades fomenting anti-US sentiment (for good reasons IMO)) could see this as an opportunity to attack the US while its weakened and the chain of command is not clear. What happens if BRICS pours tons of troops into Israel or Ukraine? Do you think the US is going to let their proxies get steamrolled? No nation can survive a war on too many fronts.
The whole world could be plunged into chaos. Billions could die.
Am I going to vote for Kamala? Of course. I don't let terrorists dictate how I vote. But let's not kid ourselves that it is all sunshine and rainbows when she wins. Harris winning is a bad time. Trump winning is a fucking nightmare scenario.
The United States Military and the US Strategic Forces stand ready to fulfill our oaths to the Constitution. The Strategic Forces, in particular, stand ready to launch upon the receipt of a valid and authentic order to do so. And those of us who still take our oaths seriously stand ready to respond with whatever force is necessary to stop those traitors within our ranks who would defy or threaten the Constitution, in accordance with all rules and regulations set forth. Hooyah.
You sound insane but it's not possible to prove you wrong until this election is over so I'll just leave it at "I hope you're wrong"
Yeah, it does sound insane. Most likely Kamala will win and the world won't end. But that doesn't mean that the spectre of ruin isn't hanging overhead. No society lasts forever.
I hope I'm wrong. Time will tell.
I want to say you're wrong about that but frankly it's plausible enough at this point to be scary
That said, let's make him have to blatantly try and take it by force, give him no legitimate claim to it. Even if he pulls that, I still think that's a better outcome than him winning in any capacity.

Agreed. Every sane person should vote for Kamala and hopefully we can push this Nazi bullshit into the sea. I choose to believe that the constitution and American citizens are strong enough to repel tyranny, but that doesn't make it so, and this is a credible threat to individual liberties and American democracy.
You're going to see some crazy shit in the coming months
