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!

For me, the most surprising thing about him has been how bad he is with the media.
I knew he was going to be a fascist piece of shit. I'm shocked at how incompetent a public speaker he is.
He's a fucking Senator and can't answer the most softball possible question.
If this is how he responds to softballs, can you imagine how he responds to hardballs? I can't wait to see the debates!
I picture him crying like Kavanaugh.
His balls get hard when they are pressed down against plush cushions wrapped in italian leather.
as Emma Vigeland said, it's karmic justice that he basically got desantis reincarnated as his VP candidate. they have the same charisma suck, the same uncomfortable laugh at things that clearly bother them.
It's impressive how JD Vance seems to be the best player on Kamela's team.
Honestly he reminds me of Paul Ryan, who did not do Romney any favors.
I still remember the time Ryan bizarrely barged into a homeless shelter, took pictures of himself cleaning bowls that were already clean, and left, to the utter bewilderment of the people running the shelter.
Such is the way of authoritarian regimes.
Being a part of the GOP when Trump took over really came down to just agreeing with the man blindly and letting him treat you how he pleased. Trump can't stand to share the spotlight with anyone else meaning people in the GOP most likely aren't getting any experience as most of them share their big moments with the orange man who takes over immediately.
Most of these people have no personality outside of supporting Trump and they aren't capable of much either because they would make Trump nervous.
He's literally only been in politics for like 2 years lol shit can't get any more stupid.
