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.

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.

I swear to GOD he's trying to get out of getting elected but remain visibly hurt enough to get funding. He's struck out and flipped off every demographic save for white Christian males. And he's still pulling 49% at betting sites.
The fact that he still has Christian supporters is crazy to me from the beginning. He’s the definition of sin from their perspective and back in 2015 I was sure they would see that and feel uncomfortable about his lifestyle but NOPE!
We’re talking about people who have made their entire life’s identity around explicitly rejecting reality and their own observations.
The word "hypocrite" was invented by Matthew, attributed to Jesus.
Nobody does it better.
Internet says it's from the 1200s
Though lots of stuff associated with the bible was invented long after people think it was, so I guess this tracks.
Well, it was a word in greek contemporary to the Bible's writing.
But I was wrong that it was invented there, it was apparently already in use to mean "actor" or "dissembler"...
If he does not get elected, he will see jailtime. He is just desperate and his run of dumb luck seems to be stalled at the moment.
His strategy only works if people act in their short term self interest and don’t stand up to him.
Enough people, (the Business Execs, the National Security Hawks, and the Petit Bourgeoisie) finally understand that, if he gets elected, this will their very last chance to vote.
They are standing up to him. They are providing real support.
The fact that she skipped the primaries means Harris avoided the normal Democratic Circular Firing Squad. She has a real chance.
BTW, I just spent the week in South Georgia. Georgia is in play. I was in a bar listening to old white dudes argue hammer and tong about Trump. I have been going down there regularly for 10 years. That never happened before. In the last year and a half, the loud Pro-Trump people started keeping their mouths shut. Now, they do not give any outward signs of support.
Trump lost GA last time.
