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!

“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President?” Trump wrote. “Just askin’?”

Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if you had actual talking points on politics, which is what you should do when you are running for president.

Your whole strategy is slander and lying. Now you are the presidential candidate equivalent of that one guy who cries about politics in memes on a political meme board! You are admitting of literally doing this!

Fucking christ, this guy lecturing us on fraud. I swear, republicans are utterly without worth.

It's one of the things he does that absolutely infuriates me. Everyone else is a crook, a fraud, anti-american, but ol dipshit Donnie is supposed to be the beacon of truth and compassion?

Give me a fucking break...

Even worse is when the gaslighting bothsiderist "liberal media" often acts like his outbursts are worthy of consideration, and/or....but look at what this Democrat said that one time...

“I object to the candidate we slandered every day and said was unfit from withdrawing from the race.”

“On what grounds?”

“It’s detrimental to my campaign.”

Ah, the Liar Liar tactic.

The Dems hadn't actually nominated anyone for this election yet, that happens during the convention which is still a few weeks from now.

and that is the problem, because he doesn't know who to attack, so he does this.

The big swings this guy takes are unbelievable. It's like he says he should be allowed to have a third term because the first didn't count because everyone didn't love him enough.
