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!

"Well, if I were him I’d want to debate me too. He’s got nothing else to do.”

“Well, if I were him, I’d want to debate me too,” Biden told reporters at a boba shop ... “He’s got nothing else to do,” Biden added.

Does it go against ethics and standards to step on Dark Brandon’s dis track like that?

Be careful Joe! He's about to steal your pen!

Glad Biden didn't take the bait, all debating him at this point would do was help cement the idea that Donald Trump is THE definitive Republican candidate

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I mean, he will be, unless we get to shut him down in court. Then he's going to run the biggest write in candidacy ever seen.

The guy who refused every debate until now?

Trump would refuse debates if given a neutral moderator. And I promise if he did a single debate he’d complain it was unfair no matter the outcome.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Sounds like he wants some free advertisement. The judges are shutting him off in the courts.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He'd BOTH complain it was unfair AND declare himself the winner.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

And he'd do it days before the actual debate even occurs.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Okay... that is a baller line.

"nothing to do but defend himself in court" would have been better

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Honestly I would do it, then invite the secret third contestant Nimarata Nikki Haley, and let the two of them kick each other's ass, while Biden just eats popcorn in the middle (or ~~smokes crack~~ takes a dab like in the meme)

My brother in christ, he is taking a dab not smoking crack.
