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

Donald Trump has been throwing a prolonged tantrum, as he struggles to accept that he is no longer running against President Joe Biden. 

The former president and convicted felon has become increasingly distressed at the state of his campaign, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday. 

As Vice President Kamala Harris has relaunched the Democratic Party’s campaign, Trump saw his fundraising edge dissipate under the shadow of her $310 million influx in July. At the same time, his campaign has struggled to find its footing in the new matchup, leaving some close to the campaign wondering how it was possible they were so ill prepared, according to the *Post. *

After flying so high at the Republican National Convention in July, it seems that Trump has had a hard time adjusting to the fact that his fight is not over. 

“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend, according to the Post.

Every time he says “I beat Biden”, he should get a medium electric shock through his butt.

Plot twist: he already did and is enjoying it so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Is that why he needs to wear diapers?

That headline has me on the floor what the fuck

Let him whine all the way to jail if he tries to stall his election loss

He is a racist, rapist, with dementia and 34 felonies that caused an insurrection that got people killed. He needs to fuck off into the sun. He's trash, always been trash, and now he's getting his ass kicked by his worst fucking nightmare. A woman that is black. If hell exists, I really hope he has a really special spot there for all the suffering he's caused.

If hell exists, he probably is getting a taste already

The only unfair thing about the upcoming election is that this guy is running. And also not in prison, but that's not directly related to the election anyway.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

Like Musk telling advertisers to fuckoff and then suing everyone that fucked off. They just want to abuse the system.

It's weird they think the gaslighting goes unnoticed.

BREAKING NEWS:

No one with a single working brain cell fucking cares.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I care.

I bet he'll die insecure over the fact that he'll never be really sure if he could win the rematch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

We care.

We care its fucking hilarious, we care no one gives a shit about him, and we care his campaign was run just as badly as his attempts to both run a country and overthrow it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

It's like nobody ever sat this overgrown toddler down and had the talk with him, because he's always been an entitled little prick who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

Life isn't fair, fucking deal with it you whining man child.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

And I think it's unfair he can even try to run. But here we are

This is so weird.

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

Lolol this fuckin' ass. clown.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

Trump's meltdown yesterday was entirely about how much he misses Biden and fears Kamala. It was pure joy to watch him flailing. i believe you can stick a fork in him. He's done. We just witnessed a seismic shift.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It is too late for him though.

[–] [email protected] 98 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's really telling that trump thinks it's some sort of competition sport that's all about him winning. We're deciding who to hire to do the job. It's not the Olympics. It's not about him or Kamala, it's about us.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

You are right. But he'll never get that through his thick, narcissistic skull, because he's been allowed to get away with anything for his entire life with basically no consequences. In the shitty little bubble he exists in, everything is a contest that he can exploit and cheat at. And everyone serves him while he does whatever the fuck he wants. The idea of him serving the American people is completely alien to him.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Winning? All I hear is whining.

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

If you just make that substitution all the times he's said "We're going to be winning so much" it makes far more sense. "You'll be tired of all the whining we're going to do" is far more accurate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This is a great time to drop out!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Traitor. Why is he not in jail?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

To be fair, when has a president ever had to deal with an unexpected change of events?
