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!

He's relieved. He would have been destroyed, just like pence was.

Remember that fly on his head? Simpler times.

Plent of chances for Vance to get his own bug and get destroyed. He should worry about Harris's VP pick. Lots of great Dems for her to pick that can ruin the biggest bootlicker of Old Sleepy Don.

the biggest bootlicker of Old Sleepy Don.

Woah, woah woah. There's a lot of competition for that title!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

The competition doesn't end, true, but Old Sleepy Don gave the VP prize to just one unlucky sucker. I'm sure a new brown nose challenger will supplant him eventually, the same way goodie Mike P was.

Kamala issues a challenge to them, 2v1, no items, fox only, final destination

Right. And I have a unicorn in my backyard.

Oddly, they really enjoy red meat. Need to feed them regularly, or they will take it into their own hooves, and the mess is unacceptable.

Well, his RNC speech wasn’t impressive at all and he completely lacked charisma. He stumbled through it and sounded like a robot. JD is fake as hell , has a lot of baggage and isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

Bruh she'd use his shitty pube beard as a mop for the capital floors if he even tried. The only actual shit he's done is try and parasitize more successful politicians, he's a wet noodle

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't give up hope JD, any given hamburger could be the one.

[–] return2ozma 1 points 5 months ago

With a diet Mountain Dew, of course.

Oh, poor little guy.

Considering Turnip will inevitably bail (on the debate, not the race), maybe Vance could be invited to take his place?

[–] grue 4 points 5 months ago

Why would Harris, a Presidential candidate, stoop to debating a mere VP candidate?
