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!

The morning after his first presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump turned to friendly territory by calling into Fox & Friends. But co-host Steve Doocy still had a question for Trump that he probably wouldn’t like: Did he hear about Taylor Swift endorsing Harris?

Almost immediately following the end of the debate on Tuesday, Swift posted her endorsement of Harris on Instagram, imploring her followers to do their own research and vote; she endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020. She also cited the faked AI images of her that she was supporting Trump, which Trump and his campaign shared.

Fucking clickbait title... He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE. It makes it sound like he's actually threatening her.

If her MAGA fans don't like her endorsements that much, they would have stopped supporting her when she endorsed Biden last time.

Also, why do conservatives claim to hate cancel culture but embrace it when anyone opposes them?

"That's a boycott, not cancelling someone! It's completely different!"

--Actual response I got to that question a few years ago.

Was that their response about The ~~dixie~~ Chicks?

"That was 20 years ago, who even remembers."

Fucking clickbait title… He said she would pay IN THE MARKETPLACE.

Swifties got mad when Tool unseated her at number 1 IN THE MARKETPLACE. I doubt very much that Swifties are gonna care about the distinction.

Yeah but the title makes it sound like it was a threat, rather than just a statement that she is going to lose money as a result of her statement.

Trump is garbage, but the title is garbage too.

Well, Leon did threaten to rape her for endorsing Harris…

This reeks of IN MINECRAFT, though, and we all know how mentally unstable and trigger-happy some in his cult are. This will almost certainly lead to death threats against her, if not actual plots.

e: not saying it isn’t clickbait, it totally is
