Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I preview my plan for all of next year: "I think the sun will rise at least once."
I believe it.
First thing out of her mouth should be "doesn't Donnie look great in that diaper?"
Just wrinkle her nose and ask what is that smell?
Nah. Plenty of decent incontinent people out there.
I'd use the word "depends" a lot.
She should also laugh at his gish gallop, and mock him. "Old loser can't remember anything so he just lies and plays his invisible accordion"
Telling the truth isn't even how you win a debate. Seems like the MSM is setting the bar for Kamala Harris pretty low here.
I'd say "he's gonna lie" is the free space on the bingo but there's a lot of competition...
Free Space is obviously
The Trump bingo card is actually a 3d block with a six sided free spot.
- something racist
- something sexist
- accordion hands
- stupid nickname
- bigly / the best
- ”Our great, great . . .”
Are we doing bingo or a drinking game?

It's all right
It's all right
Came to me crying saying “sir….”
Big man, strong man, tears running down his face...
I can't not hear Seth Meyers.
I'm taking the outlier. Fly 2: trumpy boogaloo
She needs to hammer him on his rich tax cuts and the state he left the economy in. There way too many people who believe everything was better under Trump and only care about money and earning.
I really want "Under your administration, people didn't know where their next roll of toilet paper was coming from..."
That is what needs to be repeated. Every conservative has forgotten that.
That was China's fault, or the democrats. Not Trump. Remember when he went to Puerto Rico and threw rolls of paper towels at hurricane survivors?
YA THINK?!
In other news: The ocean is salty
“I think he’s gonna lie…”
Does ~~a bear shit in the woods~~ Trump shit in his pants?
Does ~~a bear shit in the woods~~ Trump shit in his ~~pants~~ adult nappy?
“Does the pope protect pedophiles?”
The #1 thing to note is that Trump didn't win the last debate, Biden lost it. There's a difference.
Trump's performance was inchoate, but Biden looked like a lost little boy and that's something the leader of the free world can't recover from.
Harris is not going to have that problem.
Debates mean nothing in presidential elections. Several losers have won and winners have lost in the past.
And some led to candidates dropping out.
Yeah, I don't see Harris ending an answer with "we finally beat Medicare."
I think I had an aneurysm that night.
Me too, and that was just from my friend group sending despairing texts to each other because half of them were watching it. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it myself because I was afraid of how Biden would do, and my concerns were fully justified.
So glad the DNC was able to pull out of that tailspin.
Debate hype is at 11.
Vice President Harris on debating Trump: "He plays from this really old and tired playbook, right? There's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth, and we should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruth."
