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!

“And while he thinks that sucking up to Putin and other dictators will make him strong, the American people know him for who he truly is: a coward and a loser.” I simply do not understand, what kind of complex disability/disorder you have to have, to give Trump your vote. I simply cannot grasp how deranged someone has to be.

I simply do not understand, what kind of complex disability/disorder you have to have, to give Trump your vote. I simply cannot grasp how deranged someone has to be.

Everything he does "isn't that bad", and the worst of what he does, he does it stop the radical left from taking guns and jacking taxes up 50% and destroying the economy, and trying to prevent the blood of our country from impurities.

I'm serious, but I'm not a Trump supporter. I spend a lot of time with them because I want to understand how to be as stupid as possible. The level of cognitive dissonance for me when I finally grasp what a Trump supporter feels and thinks is astounding!

Was that quote in the article? I watched that ad and hoped I was going to hear Biden calling Trump a loser.

Buh gawd, he delivered a folding chair to Trump's face and busted his kneecaps!

That would be amazing political news to read

"Democrats physically destroy Republicans - Republicans in comas or dead, Democrats all arrested. Field wide open for smaller parties"

I saw a lot of comments saying that Trump would be able to slink out of having to pay most/all of the damages in the E. Jean Carroll case. Can anyone comment on whether or not he will be able to do the same in this case or will it be more difficult for him to get out of paying?

The court will just attach property like Trump Tower, golf courses, etc.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The 60-second spot, titled “Walk Away,” highlights the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner's comments last weekend that he would “encourage” Putin and Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO countries that didn't spend enough on defense.

It’s un-American,” echoing what Biden said earlier this week from the White House about Trump’s remarks.

The ad comes as Russian state media announced Friday that opposition leader and Putin critic Alexei Navalny had died in prison, though the Biden campaign’s plans were in the works before then.

As recently as Wednesday, Trump doubled down on his promise not to defend NATO members who don’t meet certain defense spending targets if elected.

The campaign is aiming to reach the more than 2.5 million Americans who identify as Polish, Finnish, Norwegian, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian — all NATO countries that share a border with Russia.

“And while he thinks that sucking up to Putin and other dictators will make him strong, the American people know him for who he truly is: a coward and a loser.”
