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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

No. They are promising to not do worse, while offering nothing better. Exactly the game that people constantly bitch about the Democrats playing all the time - ratchet and pawl.
In fact this is barely different than the shit Republicans pull with Hunter Biden's laptop.
What Melania thinks about the rioters has no bearing on anything, and we already know what Trump says about it because he constantly mouths off. Just like what Hunter Biden does has no bearing on Joe Biden as president and we can can find out about Joe Biden's policies and opinions directly from him.
While everyone should be calling out Republicans for their continued attempts to overthrow the government, Democrats have to at some point actually offer to do something to fix the problem.
As it stands now, Dems have no reason to address the core problem because as long as Trump is in the picture all they need to say is they're notasbadasTrump. And when Trump is out of the picture you can bet they'll prop up the next guy so they can say they're not as bad as them.
If voters don't call out that nonsense, especially in blatantly obvious cases like this, it's not going to change.
I agreed with that statement a month ago. Not so much today.
Yeah same, his view is simply outdated
