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!

Maybe there's a video, maybe there's not.

But nobody is saying "No way! Trump would never do that!" or "This is a shocking scandal that nobody would have believed!"

That's the sad reality of it. The sadder part is that, even if it's true, his cult still won't care.

And, of course, the minor being groped won't see any justice.

I think what's even sadder is that so-called moderates and centrists won't care. Trump didn't win in 2016 due to his cult. He won because everyday people recognized how fucked up he was and decided they didn't care.

That was my reading in 2016 -- before the election, I realized that the "thrill vote" would go to Trump, and the average folks were going to sit it out because Hillary Clinton couldn't energize anybody.

I'm getting a lot of those feelings around KH too. I just hope folks come out for the anti-Trump vote, at least.

"Finally getting Trump out of the News Cycle" isn't motivating!?!

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you honestly believe he'll be out of the news cycle if he loses?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes actually, well he wouldn't be in it as much as if he were the President (...again)

Actually given his advanced age and delirium I wouldn't be surprised if the loudest news stories besides "He did 1/6 again..." and "Trump Voters don't approve of Kamela, I wonder what reason totally not related to her skintone it could be, let's just ignore the elephant in the room like we did with questioning why they didn't like Obama back when they were the Tea Party" would be...

"He had a stroke and choked on a hamberder"

I'm only being slightly cynical since he's doing shit like falling asleep at rallies, this man's body is trying to die and he's fighting it to run for President. That's a man on borrowed time if I ever saw it. It's also a man who has nothing to lose and is a heartbeat away from putting Vance in charge, both of those are scary potential realities if he's President.
