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!

Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies doesn't even realize he's too old. He can't even complete a coherent sentence. He should drop out, it's just embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, a 3 year old male. With same cognitive brilliance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Good god, he's THAT old?

Also, Harris is 59?

Why are all the candidates at or way beyond retirement age?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Thank fuck you guys got Harris in the race now...

No more retirees.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (3 children)

In what paradise do you live where you can retire at 59? Even if Harris serves two terms she would only be 67, which is exactly at retirement age.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You can withdraw from 401k penalty free at 59 and 1/2 years old. That's what this is probably referring to. Regardless there's still a massive age difference between her and Biden/Trump.

59 + 4 + 4 = 67

Not fine.
Not brilliant.
Not young.
Depending on the definition of “Man”, not one of those either.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He identified as a man and his chosen pronouns are he/him. The right love it when we clarify this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but gender/sex aside, the term “be a man” or “man up” can also mean to not be a coward or a weakling. He has yet to not be a cowardly weakling- so by that definition, not a man.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Eh. Let's not gatekeep what being a man is. :p

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Convicted Criminal and Sex Offender Treason Trump is always the exact opposite of what he calls himself.

"very stable genius"? Nope. Deranged idiot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His blind brained lies are really starting to get old. Lost their funny months ago.

Awe, Alzheimers kicking in. He’s remembering his younger years. though, he was never fine or brillant, so clearly the memory is going bad also. But hey, you’ve got to love the doddering old fool…

Oh right, fuck you don. I am now sure you will see some prison time after you lose this election. You deserve nothing less.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

fine and brilliant young man

Are you sure he was referencing himself? None of those words describe Trump.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I do find that I use the word "and" a lot when Referencing Trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

If this young man expresses himself in terms too fine for me, why what a singularly fine young man this fine young man must be!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dude is running for president and doesn't even know how to spell "poll"
