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!

Harris you might want to crank out a fresh attack ad. While you got the time. Now he cares about racism suddenly lol?
I'm here for that title alliteration. Also f%ck that guy
Could have been "Trump Team Fears Fallout From Racist Rally Remarks".... So close
Kamala should just call him a racist. Because that's what he is. Anyone else is willfully ignorant.
Nope. She should stick to how well the economy has recovered, and anti-abortion laws are putting married women who are trying to have babies at risk. Oh, and the border has actually been 3x stronger under Biden than under Trump.
Because of Kamala pushes racism, Trump can swoop in at the last second and denounce that comedian with a big show speech.
Let the press cover it.
. . . his team are worried that their opponents’ descriptions of him as a racist and a fascist may be breaking through to segments of voters.
They're worried he's racist and fascist?
"No, they're worried some voters might be figuring that out and not vote for him"
Oh.
It'd be funny for NYT to actually call him racist, get sued for libel, and then NYT dumps 3 printer paper cartons of him doing overtly racist things on their doorstep during discovery. "Here's what we're bringing to court, see you next Tuesday"
But there are signs, publicly and privately, that the former president and his team are worried that their opponents’ descriptions of him as a racist and a fascist may be breaking through to segments of voters.
No there is fucking not. Trump's own silence about it is deafening. A couple of campaign lackeys trying to spin it away in "a statement" and "a fucking tweet" doesn't even rise to the level of lip service.
I bet his poll numbers went up because of it. His supporters love overt racism.
Lol trump campaign tweets like "uh that guy wasn't with us"
Ohhh that clears it right up, then.
Too late. Boricuas suddenly reminded of the piss-poor response to Hurricane Maria. Trump indeed has nothing but contempt
How the fuck did he ever get any PR voters after that shit disaster response?
Deeply religious individuals who don't like abortion or homosexuality
You could ask white women after the removal of Roe.
Or ask Christians after his rape convictions.
Or military members after his hoarding of top secret documents.
It truly is baffling
Maybe Republicans should think of Puerto Ricans as human beings first, rather than as just a source of votes and grift income.
Puerto Ricans (in Puerto Rico) can't vote for president, so maybe their hope was that it wouldn't matter what they said about them? Hopefully people in swing states prove them wrong at the ballot box.
It's a good thing that there are no Puerto Ricans living in the continental US who are eligible to vote. Like, imagine if there was something like a 2-to-1 ratio of Puerto Ricans in the US as those on the island? That'd be craaaaazy.
Oh, absolutely. I'm calling this "strategy" stupid.
tRump called the whole US the world's garbage can last week. It's literally their campaign.
Lolwut? Think of the brown guys as human???
Pfft right. Next, this guy will say that women aren't property and not breeding vessels.
