politics
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!

Why cant they use the big L word? Surely you can call him a liar
"...we are hearing scores of lies from the former president."
She did.
They don't want to deal with a defamation suit. Even if Trump doesn't have a case, they still gotta get lawyers involved.
Makes me feel disgusted that the two are even remotely close in the polls
He looked fat and weak
Ad homium
“Ad homium”
Did you mean ad hominem?
Either way, his whiny racist message was even worse than his fat and tired appearance.
How I can tell you aren't MAGA - they have been translating fat and weak as strong for a decade now.
why are they even showing it to begin with
Apart from the usual profit - driven motives, it is actually news
No for the MAGA people. It is to better drive voter turnout by showcasing how horrible these people are.
they can still fact check all his lies without defaulting to airing his speeches live.
Shocking. I thought they were in the bag for this fool.
Editor hasn't been fired yet... Then we'll see.
Trump is a disgusting spreader of lies. I hope him and his cult followers become a sad foot note in our future.
I hope not. I hope what they are, what they represent and how they act is long held as a cautionary tale for generations to deter racism, stupidity and vileness. You know, like we used to think about the KKK before these cultists accepted that as okay again.
«This rally seems aimed at the crucial bloc of swing voters who like Donald Trump but worry that maybe he’s not quite stupid and obnoxious enough. They need him and his team to squeeze out of the tube that one last plop of stupidity and obnoxiousness.”
— David Frum, on X, on Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
