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!

He is clearly mentally checked out and can still end up winning on coasting. It is wild I haven't seen his base angry about him ducking debates.

Needs some sexy panties, like a lacy thong on that thing

Harris Campaign needs to HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF THIS for the next two weeks. He does not care at all.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honest question, do you actually think anyone who is willing to vote for the Toupee is intelligent enough to care what he does?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It's also turnout game that matter at single digit percentages. If it dissuades 1% of trump supporters from turning out that matters. Or if it increases dem turnout by 1% that also matters

lmfao this is not the bomb.

how about we say on record Nazis are running for office.

Oh wait. Music might be a better pick.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You not be reading the news much, but the Bible Belt seems totally cool with Nazi behavior. Less cool with people stringing them along about being a Nazi. Fucked up, yes. This is what's happening in this country right now though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please elaborate, are you saying it's okay to be a Nazi because some people are already being okay with being Nazis?

It's not that he's a criminal rapist who stole and possibly sold sensible documents, but he played MUSIC?! We gottem now boys.

Amen. We don't toss the shit in the air, we just catch it in our mouths.

This is just one of thousands of rage bait and 'trump bad', 'trump stupid' articles. There is nothing of real substance other than to get anti-trumpers to click on the link.

If you went to a more pro-trump site you would see very similar articles about Kamala and Biden

I'm fairly certain kamalahq is not directly affiliated with her campaign.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Then look at the KamalaHarris account quote tweeting the kamalahq account saying "hope he's ok"

I think that's the point. He never cared. He never worked for this and never wanted it. He has been made into an icon by others and has become aware that his actions are not attached to consequences. Imagine you were playing fortnite but your character was invincible. You'd just be running up to people and doing obnoxious dance moves after awhile. That's what has happened here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like Brewster’s millions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I want to make some sort of Poopster's Billions joke, but nah that's too crass. Also that would imply he actually had that much money.

I go to Rallies with presidential candidates to listen to music and form my political opinions by listening to DJs.

At this point .... Turnip is not the idiot

America is ..... for putting up with this clown show of a so called 'political choice'.

I gave up about a year ago debating about dumb politicians ... at one point you just have to look at the entire situation and ask yourself, how dumb can everyone be? How collectively dumb and unaware does a nation have to be to get to this point?

Improving the education system needs to be priority #1 for the dems. We need it more than ever now and all they need to do to enhance their base is get iQs above 80 before kids Graduate high school.

Trump [...] answered a handful of questions from supporters before pausing the town hall due to the attendees requiring medical attention. At some point, Trump joked, “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds.” He added, “Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand.”

Whaaaat the fuck is he talking about? Glibness about his fainting attendees' health and barely veiled annoyance at them aside, what does that even mean? What did this have to do with losing weight? Is he losing weight by having to stand longer while people are medically attended to? If that's what he meant, it's a weird way to flex, implying that you are fat from sitting all the time, but ok.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lol yeah he realized he inadvertently called himself fat and then said "No, you lose weight."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Somehow that's even worse than "won't be fooled again"

At least Bush could think to the end of his sentence, even if it takes half the sentence to get there. Trump has to say it out loud before he can think about it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To give Bush his credit, he said that "won't be fooled again" line because he realized he was about to say "shame on me," and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.

It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

hence my entire comment? He realized halfway through what he was going to say and changed it. Trump said the dumb thing, THEN corrected afterward.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think maybe it’s because the fainting was presumably because it was hot? And if you sweat enough, you can lose a couple pounds or something? Still, pretty gross.

Kinda want to displace “weird” with “gross.” Weird can be good. Gross is never good.

Trump is a deep cover Democrat trying to force conservatives to be gay through the music of the Village People.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Just another stunt to stay in the media for any reason, no matter what.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Somebody slipped him an edible.

They slipped him his meds stuffed inside a hot dog
