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!

Trump hasn't even won yet, and I think we're all depressed here.

I’ve been depressed since Bush Jr. son, get on my level.

It’s the Ancient Régime, back from never been gone.

Are you ready for Trump 2028 yet? How about Trump 2032?

Trump 2024 support showed up in my area shortly after Biden won. And he’s just self centered enough to run until he absolutely cannot anymore

If Trump wins, there is plenty of evidence he'll tamper with government agencies slowly so who knows what will happen. He'd likely try to extend the term to 5 years, or start a civil war and then claim it's war time

Why extend the term to five years when he can have his cronies reverse the term limit amendment and then win every year like Putin does with 99% support?

I will be frankly shocked if his spawn don’t try to create a political dynasty. I don’t want them to, to be clear, but they are a clan of grifters, and this is the most successful scam he and they have ever been involved in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

There’s zero chance they don’t try, but I do t think they will be as successful

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Self-centered and desperate for cash. His supporters think he’s a successful businessman, and it’s true because his business is taking supporters’ money. Win or lose, he can never stop campaigning.

"Cannot run" will probably be 2028 with the way he's degrading fast right now
