Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.

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.

Has been for 4 years now. It's so frustrating to watch play out in front of our eyes.
When he picked JD Vance he thought for sure he was going to win and almost certainly would have.
Even when he wins, he still casts doubt on the system. Just look at his whining about Hillary in 2017.
Yup. For the last few months it's been nothing but "Biden is old and loves open borders," but when Kamala starts to pull ahead it's, "be on the lookout for runaway fraud".

hopi g this time with an American in the white house anyone approaching the capitol will be met with 20mm cannonfire.
Honest question, as a non-American.
Surely any and all secret services will be fully prepared this time, and if some MAGA nutjobs were to try it would result in an absolute massacre, right?
Would they be dumb enough to try? I know that you're all armed to the teeth, but the US Army and Secret Service versus a bunch of cousin-fucking redneck bois is likely to end up in the former winning pretty handily.
See, you'd think. But unfortunately, as an old song once put it: some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses
I think you're right. The last one only kinda almost worked bc bloated mussolini was calling the shots behind deployment of security forces like the national guard. Next time meal team 6 won't just be waltzing past an overwhelmed few capitol police.
I think the bigger issue this time is the potential for distributing the violence to smaller markets, so to speak - polling places, county clerk's offices, secretaries of state, even state houses when they vote to certify their state results.
Remember that fascists think of their enemy as being both weak and strong at the same time. This gives them a blind spot where they're incapable of weighing their enemy's true strength.
They'll try, but they're not as strong as they think they are. The number of Trump voters actually willing to get violent isn't very big. Could get very bloody in a short period of time, but they'll ultimately lose.

Let's bring stochastic terrorism back into the parlance.
That's too sloppy. They're gonna go for thing where it goes to, I forget if it was a house of reps vote or where each state gets a singular vote.

They're never fake when he's ahead, tho'.
Weird.
Weren't they "fake" in 2016 and 2020 too? The man has such a limited vocabulary, no wonder he appeals to morons.
It was widely reported at the time, but vocabulary analysis put him at about 8th grader level.
That's a surprisingly in-depth analysis, appreciated. Donnie's brain has been rotting for almost seven additional years now, and the loud noises coming out of his face hole have only become less impressive. It's safe to say he never made it out of middle school.

that's how you win an electrician. by faking poles
How does one win an electrician and why would you want one? Their upkeep is very expensive, have you priced a new Fluke meter lately? And they tend to lose them regularly too.
This is the best aneurysm I've ever read
Funny how the polls were "hugely precise" when they favored him.
The melting mango is losing his shit. I don't think his ticker can take the stress, especially considering it's fueled mostly with hamberders. I'm calling it now-- if he loses the Nov election he'll have a heart attack within 6 months.
My money is on a massive stroke and noone actually recognizes it because the new word salad is just like the old word salad
His face drooping wouldn't be new either
Survived a gunshot, killed by the polls less than a month later.
What a weak shitheel.
The only thing going on that's fake, is him.
Is being an "Orangicist" a thing? I think I'm that.
If Trump wins electoral but loses popular again there better be fucking riots
Oh man, he is big mad (and kinda obviously scared), and that makes me quite happy.
Trumps brain at any given moment: If it is critical of me it must be ____________ 1. Fake 2. A hoax 3. A lie 4. Socialist 5. Communist 6. Horrible. 7. Random noises 8. China 9. Change the topic
Trump: Looks at Venezuela. "Wait! If I get my cronies in charge of counting the vote and they declare me winner even if it doesn't match the polls, people aren't going to believe it? Well, I better start denigrate the polls!"
