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!

There was a part of me that held out hope that she would at a minimum just not endorse Trump. Seems like she's decided to try to be his VP pick. Probably since Noem the dog slayer became unrealistic.

Indeed with Haley endorsing Trump now I think all the Trump cosplay idiots who've been showing up to court in Manhattan can hang it up.

There is a zero chance trump picks Haley. She took too long to kiss the ring. Any hesitation and they might as well kiss their scaramucci goodbye.

It’s gonna end up being Taylor-Greene, he’s running out of women cronies

Fortunately she’ll eventually go feral on him and we’ll find little bloody pieces of trump all over - probably for years afterward.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Best possible way that could end, Noem could put her down since she’d clearly be rabid

If they haven't already said something continuously anytime they get asked a question about Trump, nah.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Honestly if I hadn't forgotten that she had even existed, of have said the same thing.

Typical republican traitor filth. A waste of carbon, really.

Bend the knee

Who cares? Why is this news? We all know dickbag republicans are gonna vote for trump no matter what. And really, they can say they'll vote for whomever and we have to take them at their word because we can't prove otherwise. So again, who cares?

The craziest thing about the whole Trump thing to me is that a re-election is even on the table.
Like american politics are usually kinda predictable. When Donnie got elected, i assumed that he's gonna do such an embarrassingly bad job, that after a year or two, pretty much everyone would just shrug and go: well i don't know how he got elected, i didn't vote for that baffoon. And then the new president comes around and he would disappear in obscurity as one of these weird things that happens because haha americans dumb.
But somehow, after seeing for 4 years what a bang up job he did and is still doing, he's still in the race for being president. It's one of these things that i just can not comprehend. I can't watch a single clip of him that makes me believe that he is an actual real person and not some cartoon villain.
To me that is the real story when i see these posts, not the whole x voting for y.
