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!

But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He'll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he's going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he's done with literally everyone else before him.

I can't wait for Trump to refer to the couch fucking.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He's a low energy guy. Low energy. I heard some rumors about couches and JD. Nasty rumors. Rumors are sometimes true.

Everybody's saying it...

Can’t wait for him to run again in 4 years

[–] ganksy 18 points 3 months ago

Hopefully he does and plagues the GOP for the next 3 cycles.

[–] Tilgare 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

After trying to have his last Veep hung, I'm not really sure why anybody would think it would go any different for them. I guess he found another thoroughbred narcissist to join him this time. "It couldn't possibly happen to me."

The thing that almost got Pence killed was having a tiny shred of respect for his responsibilities. That's not a problem for someone who's completely self-serving or all in for Trump.

[–] Tilgare 4 points 3 months ago

And yet he will be thrown under the bus at Trump's earliest convenience.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I don't quite understand this reasoning, though, since he would never acknowledge losing anyway and his freedom may rely on winning this election.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. <----- And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

That's why. He'll jump to number six after he loses, saying the GOP didn't support him enough and they deserved to lose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Possibly say Vance was working for the democrats to sabotage him

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 5 points 3 months ago

his freedom may rely on winning this election

If he were ever in danger of actual imprisonment, he could always move to Russia or Saudi Arabia.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

He's already got his sharpie out to cross out pence and write in vance after "hang"

[–] Tom_Hanx_the_Actor 3 points 3 months ago

I totally agree. His next primary should be hilarious lol

[–] masterbaexunn 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is this going to happen from prison? Lmao

[–] Triasha 2 points 3 months ago

With the Supreme Court and Judge Cannon in his pocket, he will never see the inside of a prison cell.
