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!

Newsmax host Rob Schmidt asked Trump campaign surrogate Kimberly Guilfoyle to speak on behalf of Black women after the network reported that Joe Biden would not seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

(FTA)

Wait? Did I miss something???

She looks a bit like my cat after I spray him with the water bottle. Not that it matters. What she says is more important than the way she looks, and she only speaks in fascist screed.

Jesus christ that melted barbie doll is fucking terrifying

Lol. They buried the lede:

Guilfoyle discussed unverified Newsmax's reporting that Biden would step aside without endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

"Unverified"? Is that a polite word for "made up"? If Biden did step aside he would be Kamala's biggest cheerleader.

Fucking vote

The rumor I'm hearing is that he doesn't want to be accused of "kingmaking" and instead will call for a brokered convention rather than picking her directly.

Note, this is only a rumor.

The illusion of choice is going to be necessary because she won't get the support otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think it'd be hilarious in a dystopian way if he bowed out, endorsed her, and she nominated him as VP

Yeah, there's a lot of reporting right now that tries to force others to do what they say. Like yesterday there was an article saying that Pelosi plans to publicly push Biden to step down. How would they know this?

Holy shit.

I'm instantly reminded of Nietzsche's "when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
