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!

Trump thought the problems in Ferguson MO were caused by immigrants. If they would deport the immigrants, there would be no problems in Ferguson. Ferguson is 99% African American ("legal"). He wants to deport US citizens.

White people in crowd instantly ejaculate.

Not-white people in crowd wonder if their Trump shirt can double as a bullet proof vest.

Nah. Non-white people in the crowd are glad they're one of the good ones 🙏🙏 (they don't know Trump doesn't care).

Or they are some of the many people Trump's campaign pays to attend. It's not an accident that if anyone of color can be found at a Trump rally, that they are just behind Trump where they would be in the TV frame when any clip of his word salad "speech" is played back.

The comparisons to a certain national socialist are apt

Donald Trump says something crazy or vicious almost every time he speaks. He's a sad old man, but you should take hum seriously

He’s like my uncle when he gets drunk at Thanksgiving

Just more stochastic terrorism and inciting violence like he has done for years. And no one will do anything about it.

Well, I will certainly vote about it. It may not be much, but I hope it’s enough. And, as a Florida voter, it ~~may~~ will actually fucking matter this time.

Please bro, bring some friends along. Polls showing Harris closing on the traitor in FL.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Hey now, the stochastic terrorists have never been busier!

Oh, you mean consequences for bad behaviour? That only happens to poor people

In fact, his supporters will rabidly cheer it on. This is exactly what they want.
