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!

I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.

It’s be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.

I really don't think she should do this. It's basically volunteering to a grilling interview with a big audience where she'll be asked though questions and she can't make any mistakes. Imagine the headlines: "Harris loses to herself in last night's 'debate' by fumbling questions on Gaza/Israel and immigration."

CNN should be a town hall if trump doesn't show. Make it happen with or without him.

She will need to do better than at the National Association of black journalists interview. Because that was anemic.

100% positive this will not happen, so she should just do town halls in every swing state constantly and air them. Both her and Walz should do it and bounce around like ping-pong balls until election day. Make sure to do them on college campuses to get the youngsters involved.

This election is 100% their future and she needs to tell them that.

Yea, it's unlikely... but pushing for it to make Trump look like a chickenshit is absolutely worth it.

Do it with a picture of Trump, like this.

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

I can't tell if this picture is legit or doctored

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's legit.

I think this was after a debate with Biden and he had the beginnings of covid.

As I remember it, this was after a rally that was billed as being the biggest ever, but in fact K-Pop fans figured out how to game the ticketing system, and as a result the rally was empty.

That’s correct. It was glorious.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Lmao.

Even better. That must have been soul crushing for him.

Either answer works for me. Thanks guys!
