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 hate the guy, It scares me shitless that he may be elected, but we must admit that creating the "weave" thing to sell his mental decline as a brilliant oratorial strategy is a genius marketing move. The problem is that he is selling exploding Ford Pintos as the safest car in the world.

Hey now the Pinto wasnt that bad, so long as you replace the fuel tank it was a downright good car. He is selling the cybertruck an irredeemable pile of shit that is barely worth the cost of scrapping it.

My point still stands, it was largely an issue restricted to the stock fuel tank. They also like to rust out so theres that issue as well. Shitty fuel tank good car.

The Orange Shit Stain and his body language says it all. Kudos to the journalist for sticking to the subject and keeping the POS in line.

Trump responded by sighing and ranting about Virginia’s voter rolls. “The question is about Google, President Trump,” Micklethwait replied. Trump then went on a spiel about how Google is unfair to him and doesn’t show users any positive stories about him.

There are no positive articles about him that aren't from horribly biased sources.

One time Google's snippet for Republican described Nazis. This enraged the Republicans and Google manually changed it. But it was auto generated from stuff the GOP was really saying, and still are.

A journalist had to answer a question from the public on the subject in a Canadian special on US elections and his answer was "Look, I'm a journalist, I report facts and if you believe I'm biased because all the news coming from the republican side are bad news I would tell you I'm not the one who chose the candidate that generates these bad news, my job is just to report them, nothing else."

Is there a video? I like to watch him get progressively unstable.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm gonna try to watch this later. I give myself 3 minutes before I give up. Thanks for sharing the link.

Update: I made it about 20 minutes into the "interview" and had to stop. The gish gallop is hard with Trump and there's no way I could listen to it for a full hour.
