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!

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a “b----” in private, according to a report by The New York Times, as the former president’s polling numbers plunge, and his campaign struggles to stick to an attack strategy against the sitting vice president.

In a statement to NYT, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said “that is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it’s not how the campaign would characterize her.”

However, sources close to Trump told NYT that he has called Harris out of her name on multiple occasions—frustrated by her campaign’s control of the news cycle over the last three weeks.

[–] EmpathicVagrant 58 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I wanna see Harris/Walz ‘Bad Bitch’ merch; let’s just own it altogether like her very human and wholesome laugh.

[–] Landless2029 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

What's funny is I saw a thread talking about making KaMALA merch. Make America laugh again.

Mala also means "bad" in Spanish.
Yeah. I'd add a caption under saying "We need a bad bitch in the white house"

KaMALA.

Make America Laugh Again.
We need a bad bitch in the White House

It should be a red hat with white text. Return that option to the people by snatching it back from his tiny stupid hands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

LA Angles fans would appreciate it.

[–] simplejack 77 points 4 months ago

I’ve been publicly calling Donald Trump a bitch for decades.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well bitch or not, she will absolutely destroy him if he dares to step foot onto the debate stage with her. But he won't, because he's a chicken-shit coward.

[–] edgemaster72 16 points 4 months ago

He's apparently unquit the debate with her next month, but there's still plenty of time for the weirdo to quit the debate again, and as a bonus if he does then he'll have quit the debate the same number of times as he got impeached.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you're taking flak you're over the target.

[–] kikutwo 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This bitch gon fuck him up.

[–] Valmond 3 points 4 months ago

Chaos right there for old don.

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m sure he says far worse things, we just haven’t had anyone tell us yet.

[–] Valmond 6 points 4 months ago

That's for next weeks news cycle, or so I guess.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

If you hate Trump/Project 2025, please vote Harris. If for no other reason than it would majorly piss him off to lose to this "bitch"...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure he's used both the N and C words in reference to Vice President Harris.

[–] Thrillhouse 3 points 4 months ago

Oh it’s only a matter of time until he does this in public.

[–] Sarothazrom 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's only a matter of time until he drops an n-bomb.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

He'll go on too late at night and sundown right into that shit.

[–] GladiusB 12 points 4 months ago

Loser doesn't like losing

[–] Etterra 11 points 4 months ago

Uh oh, somebody call the whambulance, Donny made a big poopy in his diaper.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That’s so good for him. I love it. I hope everyone learns about it.

Due to the weird downvotes, I'm standardizing on always up voting this bot. Anyone with me?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think I'd rather see it at the very bottom of every thread. downvotes won't lead to it getting shadowbanned

[–] TrickDacy 2 points 4 months ago

Upvotes will..?

[–] JWBananas 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

As long as it keeps spamming links to a paid news site, I'm going to keep downvoting it.

But I upvoted you for engagement.

[–] Cris_Color 2 points 4 months ago

Agreed, I really like the bot. Lemmy can be kind of a left wing echo chamber and as someone on the left I try really hard to remind myself of the range of perspectives that exist outside of this space

The additional context is super helpful. It'd be super cool if it also linked alternative sources like one of the lemmy apps does.

[–] RampantParanoia2365 3 points 4 months ago

Jesus, who fucking cares? Of course he calls her that. The motherfucker is going to prison in a few months. He's losing it.

[–] workerONE 2 points 4 months ago

He's just not a good candidate, it's too bad Republicans can't run someone better /s?
