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!

They're all melting down...

MTG called Laura Loomer racist and demanded she take a tweet down because "president trump doesn't support racism".

They literally don't know what to do and all it took was putting a regular human barely under retirement age next to trump and her just existing.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But she existed menacingly!

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And approached him uncomfortably right from the start!

The scary thing is that, despite not knowing what to do, they still have a realistic chance of winning. Which is causing me to melt down...

[–] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Genuinely surprised and disheartened to learn that Karl Rove is still alive.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

turns out turd blossom is younger than the orange turd

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I never imagined I would agree with Turd Blossom about something but Trump has made it happen. We really are through the looking glass!

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 15 points 1 month ago

Like the Lincoln Project said, who'd have thought it was actually Donald Trump who brought us all together?

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, that's pretty damning. I'm no "Hot Karl" Rove fan, but he was the preeminent Neocon strategist, and no dummy. For him to slam the orange one like that...

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In the Wall Street Journal of all places...

Honestly pretty tired of the people who helped create a world that would lead to this decrying the world they created.

Nah, fuck him to next Sunday. He is saying it because its politically expedient for him. He can still eat shit. Jon Stewart has it right. They can all fuck right the fuck off.

The people behind attitudes like this are not to be trusted. When they show you who they are, believe them the first time.

The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

That's commonly attributed to Rove and he is describing the firehose of falsehoods.

"Karl Rove is a RINO" incoming...

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they try to RINO Turd Blossom himself, there won't be enough popcorn in the world for the party fracturing that would represent.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 month ago

OK well now I support that kind of fracking.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Trump said Harris stole his philosophy and political leanings ... then one sentence later called her a Marxist.

So what does that make him then?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 month ago

A fucking idiot.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I really wish she called him out on that. "Which is, Donald? Am I stealing your philosophy or am I Marxist?"

But ABC just moves on to another question before she can respond.

The dog ate his prepared notes

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Remember, Republicans were bragging about Trump not preparing for the debate

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The dog ate his concept of prepared notes.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

The dog ate his concept of a plan to have prepared notes.

And then JD Vance ate the dog.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then RFK found the dog on the side of the road and ate it.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

An immigrant ate the dog who ate my book report! Trump always reminds me of a kid in front of his class trying to wing it.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I bet a Haitian could get those back for him.../s

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Always good to hear from Ol' Turd Blossom


Nevertheless... both Cheney's and now Rove? Can W be far behind?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's a good thing Kissinger is dead or I'd have to vote for Luke Skywalker again if he endorsed Harris.

[–] Countess425@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

W's office has already said neither he nor his wife will comment on how they're voting this election.

He wrote in "Condoleezza Rice" in 2020.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

If he's lost the Holden Bloodfeast demographic he's finished.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He didn't win. He's avoiding another round because he got his ass beaten so bad he doesn't want it to happen again. Please america, make it happen it again in November.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's pretty much accurate lol.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Well well well how the turntables
