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

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.

Donald Trump is likely annoyed by how much money President Joe Biden has been raising, but the former president should worry instead on the campaign cash he himself is wasting, a Republican strategist argued Saturday

Susan Del Percio’s column for MSNBC on "why Trump should be worried" delves into Biden’s “clear” advantage and the impact it will have on a man who, she argues, puts great stock in financial worth.

“These kinds of strong fundraising totals make for great headlines,” Del Percio wrote of Biden’s $26 million campaign fundraiser. “But they must also irk Trump.”

But Del Percio argues Trump should pull his focus away from how much Biden has raised and look instead at what his Democrat challenger is doing with the millions he raises.

“How you spend your campaign funds is what matters,” she wrote. “And so far, Biden has chosen wisely.”

One of those articles that's been on repeat since 2015.

Trump doesn't need campaign money. All he has to do is hold a rally. The media covers everything he says and does 24/7. He gets free coverage daily.

Look at this point Biden can spend billions and still not change a single Trump vote to Biden one. Trump a cult and the media helps him. And still 43% of Republicans going vote for Trump which is fucking nuts.

If the media would blacklist him and all his money going to legal fees maybe he would go the fuck away.

But as long as they keep reporting he doesn't need money to campaign.

I think Matt Christman said it best that "Trump is a tumor made out of America."

Yeah it was winter 2015 when the bi-partisan media began covering Trump as a frontrunner. It wasn't even conservative media Trump's cult was sharing as memes online either, it was compilations of liberal news anchor's with "shocked" faces at every stupid Trump tweet. Washington Post (I think?) even had the infamous Trump lie tracker. Some people still gaze at his two impeachments, legal troubles, moral failings, health issues, and despite this in relation to his current position keep obsessing about the next big thing right around the corner.

I mean all Trump did was say the most outrageous things and media covered it over and over. So he keeps doing that and they give him press. He is the embodiment of any press is good press.
