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!

This week on the campaign trail, Donald Trump suggested he was open to restricting birth control or allowing states to do so. He later walked it back on Truth Social, saying he will “never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control.” President Biden and Trump are proposing vastly different visions for reproductive rights and healthcare. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

In the most respectful way possible, I don’t really care what this man says. He will say whatever he feels like saying and do what he feels like doing.

I think we know what he will do.

No no no. He is telling the degenerate psycophants that come to the rallies the actual truth, but on Double-Speak Social he is telling the moderates and centrists who don't like to "follow politics", are too stupid and in denial that a candidate could be such a piece of shit authoritarian fascist what they want to hear so they can plausibly deny the fact they brought on fascism by saying "well he said he wouldn't do it" on the internet.

Fuck Trump, his entire shit stain family, the republican party for trying to ruin the country and the democratic party for being too scared to try and stop it.

Ranks right up there with repealing Obamacare, building the Keystone pipeline and placing bans on foreign lobbies lol... All promised, never delivered.

I'll never forget how he wanted to "lock her (Hillary) up" but then after the election he said that the Clintons were "good people". His inability to do the things he says sometimes gives me hope, but also there is the current Supreme Court.

The liar lies again and this is news how?

saying he will “never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control.”

Except for, you know, when he did just before he denied he ever would.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Donald Trump will always always always say he isn't going to do something right immediately exactly before AND after he does it.

He was being “sarcastic”

"It was just a joke, bro."

“You’re taking his words out of context.”

“I tell the best jokes. People say to me, great people, they say to me, ‘President Trump,’ — President, because that’s what I am. Still am. Maybe not because of the democrat’s and their fake election. It’s fake you know? We all know. But we have to play the game. When I was a child—an itty bitty child—my parents didn’t abort me! We played games. Remember master lock….”
