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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

When Trump dies, how long do you think Stephen Miller will try to keep it quiet?

Trump needed the presidency to keep him out of prison. Steven Miller needs Trump's protection so 8 year old girls don't take his lunch money.

I read the below recently from Millers wife and can't help but think that he is the lamest attempt at a villain I've ever heard of. Genuinely one of the most pathetic people I've ever read about.

"He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches, being like, 'Let's start the day. I am going to defeat the left, and we are going to win,'"

They won't be able to hide it for 20 seconds.

Everyone around Trump is there to catch the flotsam and jetsam of his power and political capital, when he croaks, everyone will suddenly be trying to engage in their own power-grab plans, it will be complete chaos.

Republicans have no leader. They have nobody who can take the reins and keep Trump's only real political capital under control, his dumb-as-fuck hillbilly base of heavily armed nutcases. They will mourn for a week and then get distracted by something and just like that, the fascist empire will start to erode as all these unlikable clowns trip over each other to try to become the next Trump.

Fun if similar to the movie Death of Stalin and the example of such a vacuum. No spoilers but Stalin isn’t the only one who dies. Great comedy. Highly recommend.

No spoilers?

I'm pretty sure it was a documentary not a comedy.

I've always said when Trump dies MAGA will eat it's own head. The power grab back stabbing will be hilarious.
