Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

But he paints now! So adorable! /s
And hands candies to Michelle
Fuck off. We must be pragmatic for the sake of America’s survival.
Nah. The Cheney's can go back to Jackson Hole and fuck off. Or they can be arrested for war crimes.
War criminals are an important part of US history and its current population so we need to accept them.
They're useful tools, as is the Lincoln Project, for example. Once the existential threat in Trump is gone it'll be back to business as usual and their MO will be "oppose meaningful change without enabling a monster to take advantage of us again" again in no time. Trump is such a unique and unhinged threat that they resent what they've created, and in an equally unique moment of self reflection, created the Never Trump movement. But longtime allies to leftists, or even liberals for that matter, they absolutely are not. There's no ambiguity around it.
I have seen absolutely no evidence that the Harris campaign is even trying to rehabilitate Dick Cheney's image. The argument "Trump is so fucking crazy even DICK fucking CHENEY is scared of him getting power again" is a pretty solid argument against those that might be leaning towards Trump.
That's who it's targeted at. It's not going to work on someone left of center, but it's not supposed to. That's why she's also talking a lot about her economic plans and abortion rights.
I'm gonna fall back on ol' reliable, it's not stupid if it works.
If.
