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!

It's true, I saw her give him the evil eye during the debate. Now he's cursed with ineloquence until he makes a pilgrimage to his fatherland and burns a wreath of holly under the full moon.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Damn, I can’t wait for her to shut down autocrats and strongmen with "occult-empowered deception".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Those fingers in my hair

That sly come hither stare

That strips my conscience bare

It's witchcraft

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

I will always hear that in Bart's voice.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I can confirm. Precisely a week before the debate, I got a lock of Trump's hair in the mail and a letter from Kamala that said "you know what to do"

You're all welcome

That's funny because a few times I spied her hands, held out in front of her, fingers outstretched, looking like she was casting a spell! Lol. Nevertheless, they were all thoughts for funsies only.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"And that's why I call it witchcraft, because it has the effect of planting and reinforcing thoughts in the mind of the listener that defiles perspective. This makes it easier to manipulate people."

Huh ...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

This fucker wouldn't know witchcraft if it anointed his dick

[–] [email protected] 52 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Newsweek has contacted Harris's campaign via email for comment."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

The witchcraft of facts and common sense.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago (4 children)

That wasn't witchcraft! What she did was Headology, plain and simple. Far more efficient. All you have to do is make the recipient understand that the lies they tell themselves in the dark corners of their mind are flimsy untruths that everyone can see through.

Did she turn you into a newt?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

He hasn't gotten better, but he might if true believers buy enough AI generated NFTs!

[–] [email protected] 218 points 4 months ago (3 children)

This would be genuinely hilarious if it wasn’t so goddamn serious for so many indoctrinated folks.

So let me get this straight: she’s black, she’s south Asian, she’s a woman, she’s married to a Jew, and she’s a witch? I think I like her even more now…

[–] [email protected] 76 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I hope she leans into it for halloween.

Slightly more plausible than Bluetooth eatings where she had a full team of writers instantly coming up with her responses, all agreeing on it, and relating it to her with zero delay...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The bluetooth one is crazy because have you ever tried to talk while you have a voice rambling in your ear?

It's not easy to focus.

Even then, like, am I the only person who isn't against candidates having an earpiece and a team helping them? When do you ever think the POTUS is alone and making split-second decisions? They'll always have an advisor or some type of council around them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

This is supposed to be a presidential debate, not a president and team debate.

Also at the end of the day it's the president that makes the decisions, not the team. You're supposed to evaluate them, in part, on their decision making capability.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

W was alone for a while when deciding whether to put down My Pet Goat…

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'd support it for fact checking alone. Give them a researcher in their ear who can search the internet for reliable references. It would discourage bullshitting on both sides, and someone like Trump would be instantly shut down.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Instead of an invisible fact-checking team, give them each a laptop (or phone) so they can do their own fact checks, and make the screens visible so we can see what sources they use.

What a weirdo.

Didn't this pastor get the memo, witches and Wicca are cool now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I s2g if Dems were even half as cool as MAGA says they are...
