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!

stupid networks air it.. for free
just part of his game.
My understanding is that for the first 30 minutes, he stayed hard on his script, with a finger on the text to keep his place. Then he went completely off the rails.
It speaks well of networks who did not broadcast fascist propaganda.
I wholeheartedly agree with the last bit there, but smart money's on Trump never needing a full half an hour to prove he's a bloated sac of pus and half as cogent.
I'm genuinely surprised he stayed on script for 30 minutes. That's about 25 minutes longer than he usually manages.
Well you have to remember, if he loses his election, he's going to prison.
I'm sure he's afraid of that, but I'd be amazed IG of actually happened.
Having seen some of it, it was somehow both surprisingly boring and more unhinged than usual. Complete deranged Fox News grandpa hours.
I think Trump is really starting to look old, you know? When in front of a crowd he can feed off of you notice it less - but even then you can go back and compare to 2016. And stuff like this and the Elon call just has him looking old and slow.
30 minutes? I think that's more than plenty.
A billionaire complaining about rising food prices.
He's not a billionair.... oh, I see what you're saying. A billionaire in his mind!
