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!

Wanting to know why they’re so quiet about Trump? They’re voting for him.

Republicans understand that projecting faultless confidence is an advantage in a head to head race.

Democrats... And those who claim to be Democrats... Seems to believe that passing through a labyrinth of strife and tribulation is somehow an advantage. Vetting candidates with fire only makes sense if you are in an environment where good faith prevails.

republicans will never admit to anything ever, not one instance has a republican EVER admitting to fault in ANY scenario.

Similarly, pretty much every accusation from every Republican can be interpreted as a confession

be careful, they're going to say this about democrats now, it's literally the only thing they do.

Sucking trumps Dick

Let's be very Frank with you, republicans want that. Not the rank and file, but the politicians that want control over the United States.

What they want from Trump is a rubber stamp to do whatever they want.

I don't even think it's that deep, americans treat politics like football and they just want their team to win.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand why Trump can't be happy to be one of the few people to have been a president. Why must he do it again?

Now, let him retire. He have the money. He is already famous. Just let him go in peace to the prison...

Probably because he's done so much illegal shit his only hope is to regain the presidency so he has some immunity until either the various cases and charges get dismissed or he's simply old enough that he can ride out the clock and die either too senile to know he's under house arrest or die before he could start a prison sentence

The need for legal immunity is what sent Ceasar to March on rome.
