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's terrified that they're going to pick someone who won't let him get away with bullshitting his way through the debates.

I've got a new winning slogan for the Trump team: "She's brown."

Time for the press to hold Trump to the same standard as they have Biden.

Somewhat unexpected. While I agree that he is too old I'm really curious about what the plan is here. Tho if the runner up is savvy they will use the curiosity and confusion to get their name out there.

He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

I saw parts of his RNC “speech” and he could barely string a coherent sentence together. Really low energy and kept falling asleep. He needs to drop out.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Well, in that case he’s as coherent as 10 years ago.

Don't you think he looks tired?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Ha, awesome doctor who reference

He's so old he requires a bandage the size of his ear for a 2 centimeter cut.

Trump told CNN he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to beat.

I want to see a debate between a felon and a former prosecutor. If she keeps referring to him as such, he'll lose his shit. His derangement will know no bounds.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I kind of doubt Trump debates Harris. He’s obviously senile and he can just say, “She didn’t win a single primary. I don’t have to debate her.” He’ll probably pull the same shenanigans as in 2020 and get CNN or whoever to have a “town hall” Q&A where everyone in attendance is a Trump supporter.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago (5 children)

And then she needs to call him out constantly for being a weak ass bitch. Provoke him until he loses his shit.

I hope for a debate before September but at least we will(should) have one before the election.
