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!

The former president took a shot at ABC News, which is set to host the debate in September.

Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.

Trump began laying the groundwork this weekend to dodge or change the rules of the second debate he’s agreed to, which is set to be held Sept. 10 and broadcast on ABC. The former president has been livid after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection on Sunday.

“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,” he wrote on Truth Social. “They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.”

If Kamala isn't competent, as Trump is stating, then it shouldn't be a problem for him.

He’s a bully. Bullies won’t enter a fight if they don’t think their ego can take the repercussions.

Old chickenshit finally getting the picture is he?

The scariest thing a man his age can even think of... Arguing with a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Old racist bitch.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Nothing stronger than an old mans fear. K, his ego maybe.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

Look at that guy run! You wouldn't know he was in his 70s by the way he's running away from Harris!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

He's such a pussy, he needs to be careful that he doesn't grab himself by accident.

Dodging Harris like he dodges bullets

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

Like his fat ass can dodge anything. Someone missed. His ass ain't no Neo.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

you should see how many bullets he dodged in Vietnam

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Bullets named "service" and "the draft"?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok let's go back to the old format. It's only fair

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Trump would spend the whole time griping that the debate was being run by the League of Women Voters.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago

If you can dodge a draft you can dodge a debate. I mean ball.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (10 children)

Debates should be mandatory for frontrunners, voting should be compulsory

They should start taunting him that he’s scared and call him a chicken.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being afraid of minority women is pretty standard for the GOP.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Even more reason to call him a chicken

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Call him a loser. Nothing hurts more than the truth.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Trump worried he might not be the better golfer in this debate

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

looks like the libertarian party is taking his spot (/j unfortunately)

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

They might be down for that though...

I'm reminded of the South Park episode where Cartman tries to avoid fighting Wendy.
