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!

If there's one guy who shouldn't be accusing anyone else of treason...

Methinks the lady doth protest too much

He sees an old man with advanced cancer and just can't stop himself from putting the boot in.

When the pendulum swings back we need to permanently ban organized religon.

It's the main tool used by the Federalist Society to perpetuate their beleifs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

That would be shortsighted. Religious though has been on the decline for centuries. Driving it underground and radicalizing it just empowers the bad actors.

Germany handles religion in a fine way. Kirchensteuer is a tax you pay directly out of your paycheck to your registered church. You can opt out of paying this tax by dropping your church registration. If this system was adopted in the US you would see far less people who identify as "religious".

That's not a pendulum swinging back, that's a genocide.

Banning religion is never going to happen under this constitution.

After the civil war that we're all barrelling towards, absolutely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

You'll never ban religion, but it can be treated like the business that it is, with regulations, taxes, training, licensing, etc.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 hours ago

There won't be a civil war. America we'll just let whatever happens happen. People we'll protest on weekends and say my job I need my job I can't actually do anything meaningful. Americans are cowards I know they have made fun of the French for being in the past but now it's Americans. Look what the French did for increasing retirement age. Now compare to Americans falling into facisim.

Lol projecting.

Funny how he's not sure if he's supposed to uphold the constitution of Murca.

We are going to see arrests and show trials of prominent Democrats, by the end of the year.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Thoughts and prayers, Americans. You wouldn’t listen.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago

🤷‍♂️

Everyone with a brain warned them

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

Don't even need trials apparently.

Every accusation is an admission. Donnie is accusing Biden of EXACTLY what is going on right now: a decrepit old fart machine is the windbag mouthpiece of hitler and goebbels admirers turning the cesspool of the us in a BIGGER cesspool. And if grandpa-senility croaks (or gets Luigi'd) nothing will change because ol'couch-fucker is a brainless twat, too.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

If you read the article, he's not accusing Biden of anything.

He's saying that Biden wasn't behind the things he PREVIOUSLY was railing on him over (the border specifically) and saying his team and advisors "took over" the presidency behind the scenes, and it was their agenda that they snuck behind Biden's back because they knew he was too sick to notice.

So, I agree every accusation is an admission, but it's important to actually read the accusations so you know what Trump is admitting to: in this case it's being old and senile and his administration is taking advantage of him and are pushing their own agendas behind his old and senile back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

So he wants to attack more junior members of the Biden administration because he's afraid of the pushback if he goes after a former president. Got it.

Actually the confession/accusation aren't against Biden but his people.

“It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.

You can take it as read that someone else is putting "Donnie's" XOs under the autopen. I'll bet you dollars against donuts that the architects of Project 2025 are writing some of those XOs and having them signed with the autopen and Trump knows little or nothing about them.

Some of them? tRump has no idea what he's signing, he's just the distraction for The Heritage Foundation to enact their manifesto. Even if you removed tRump from the White House, it would just be someone else, with a less showmanship and a more human signature signing the EOs.

After Musk, I hope people turn their sights against the real masters pulling the strings, The Heritage Foundation, and remove that whole group from existence (not from harm, but the whole organization shut down and the ranking members jailed).

If you read the article

How dare you?!

The difference is JD Vance does not inspire the same level of devotion in followers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

He's the equivalent of wet toast

[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Kinda like when he kept bashing Biden as too old, then when Biden dropped out and he got attacked for being the oldest candidate he switched to saying that 80 isn’t that old.

Every accusation is an admission.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Anyone who genuinely believes it was Trump wrote the original tweet about Biden's health, is an idiot. There's no way he wrote that It was far too coherent to be genuine.

Also, I don't think it's possible to recover from metastatic prostate cancer. As I understand it, treatment just delays things, but there isn't a cure.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 20 hours ago

There were no caps, spelling mistakes and conveyed a human emotion other than hate or fear. 100% better chance it was chatgpt above Cheeto finger

I'm kind of surprised that Trump hasn't been jealous of the attention on Biden and claim he, himself, has cancer and that some have said it's the most beautiful cancer they've ever seen, cancer like no one has ever seen before.

Someone should show him that one episode of South Park and see if he microwaves his balls.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

His accusations are usually admissions.

We must force this traitor cunt to account.
