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!

"Trump's embrace of a vile extremist troll is dividing the GOP"
We can only pray that this is true and harms them at the ballot box!

But they are okay with him being a vile extremist troll?

[–] spankmonkey 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Probably because she isn't part of the clique. Trump gets enough support to let him do whatever, but they don't want another wildcard.

Recent photos captured Loomer standing next to Trump on multiple occasions, a level of access that puts her even closer to Trump’s ear than new campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski.

Yup, she is getting in the way of the party's attempts to influence Trump.

It sure would be a shame if people started talking about the rumor that Laura Loomer is pregnant with Trump's love child. I don't know if there's any truth to the rumor at all. It's just a rumor I heard people are talking about.

Are we even sure she's a female human and not an LLM trained on Twitter posts stuffed into a melted Japanese sex robot?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

More like a melted Russian torture bot.

Give them some time, they will kiss the ring soon enough.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They almost most certainly will. "I'm a never Trump guy. I never liked him."

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it," Graham tweeted in 2016.

This has got to be the slowest desruction of a party. Anyway to speed it up?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Seeing Graham specifically be called out by Loomer was fucking delicious.

I've been waiting for the leopards to eat his face since he said that and turned around to be Trump's toady.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

My co-workers laughed when I told them that he got called out by Loomer. This fucking clown show, would be way more entertaining if it didn't have a chance to end up running the country.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've seen this one. This is the one where a bunch of Republicans are like "I'm a never Trumper" and then a month later they're all on the floor kissing his feet.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

If I was Alred, I would run an ad with Trump making fun of Cruz's wife, then Cruz sucking up to Trump, both with dates. Then ask "Do you really think Ted Cruz will stand up for Texans? He won't even stand up for his own wife."

It should be a standard line of attack for Dems.

[–] reddig33 10 points 3 months ago

The GOP isn’t all that divided. There are a handful who won’t hold their nose to vote Trump this time, but that’s about it.

Wake me when the party actually splits in half.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"Embrace" is sure a weird way to say "She's clearly giving him sad little mushroom handjobs." Fucking foul, but it's clear he needed a new side piece since Melania doesn't want to be fucking near his crusty old stinky ass.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I’m happy that she’s in his orbit. Having people suck up to his craziest ideas only makes him look weirder when he says them to anyone who isn’t a MAGA moron.

I want another debate. Let’s keep calling him “small-hands scaredy-cat” and hope he decides he doesn’t like looking weak.

[–] EvilBit 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Dividing them between what, which cabinet position to give her?

Edit: wrong bigot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] EvilBit 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oops. Her. I was thinking of a DIFFERENT vile extremist troll. Sigh.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

This is who he is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Trump is a vile extremest troll.

“This is appalling and extremely racist,”

Dividing the GOP between those who are public vile extremists and those that keep their vial extremism more private.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

And those who let both of those camps do their thing as long as they can use it to amass political power and/or wealth.

[–] son_named_bort 5 points 3 months ago

No it isn't

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Not quite sure how a vile extremist troll embracing a vile extremist troll became the final straw for these idiots… but I guess I’ll take it?

She's his Joan Quigley (Reagans Astrologer)
