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!

MODERATORS
 

Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...

It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

That "commander in chief" statement from Harris gave me a patriotism boner.

Question about Afghanistan, ramblings of NATO.

Why do they keep opening his mic to let him ramble about nonsense?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

He made it clear he can shout loud enough to be picked up regardless. So either hope he rambles himself to sleep or be unable to proceed.

It is like a toddler. You let them mumble to avoid a cryfest

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Just shows the mute decision was damage control by his campaign not his idea.

"I AM RESPOND!"

"No sir we need to get to the next quest..."

"I AM RESPOND NOW!"

"No, Mr. President we need to..."

"I AM RESPOND!"

"Oh OK."

"THEY WEAK ME STRONG! HONK HONK!"

"Quiet please" 🤣

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes! Appealing to Polish Americans! Make Trump’s decisions or lack of decisions personal to voters.

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

And he couldn't even make an ominous comment about not letting that become a war. Instead he just ignored Poland.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Aww. Grumpy trumpy just wants putin to be happier.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Oh for the love of God, stop letting this guy ramble.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

She just actually debated him.

Amazing, given the format, that it's allowed.

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

Trump steaks for lunch in Moscow.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"A dictator who would eat you for lunch."

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

Putin wouldn't eat him. He'd have that weird fucker in Chechnya who Elmo sold a tesla to do it.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I understand now why rich people want Trump in office, he’s soft headed and will say or believe anything they want. They basically stroke his ego to get what they want

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Flattery and favors!

Nice, she answered for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He really wants to fight against Biden.
"You aren't running against Joe Biden, you're running against me"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Yep. And he hates it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

In other words, I’ll just give Ukraine to Putin.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

And the moderator having another Billy Madison moment.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Can not answer without violating the Treason Act
