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!

Multiple events canceled. Harris campaign must seize on this.

Her campaign has been harping on it before, so they'll probably ramp that up. For instance, they just posted this with the caption "is he ok"

Can we at least have someone pass a hoop around him to demonstrate that he isn't being held up by strings?

Hey now don't tell me your suggesting the heritage foundation, who published a 900 page document of everything the Trump should do, could be trying to pull strings? I'm sure they're also just keeping lists of people trump should remove for fun, you know, and that their not publicly released part of Project 2025 with fleshed out executive orders was for the bit

Oh, we all know the heritage foundation is pulling his strings metaphorically, the question now is whether old Diaper Donny still has the strength to stand up on his own or if they're literally running a complex Weekend at Bernie's marionette scheme..

The agreement was you weren't going to fact check

I love how all the bullshit "sleepy joe" etc comes back to bite him in the ass.
