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!

Typical Republican tactic: cheat to win, win to cheat.

There'd be a human centipede behind Trump by now if they weren't all bucketing over who got to be #2.

You don't magically get to remain an elected official after your term is up if you don't win an election.

I mean, if you have an armed force, loyal to you, who have already been given their funding up front until after the next election, it wouldn't really be magic.

Are the ICE SS/NKVD thugs going to arrest the voters before they enter building. Johnson, the Christian Fascist, can f-himself and St. Peter will close the gate on his worthless racist ass.

Ask for papers, create delays and require all votes be submitted before the polls close to prevent people from casting ballots in key districts. Not sure if I like this game of guessing what form evil will come in.

If this is NOT another reason to study and read socialist theory, then I DON'T know what is. https://redsails.org/

They are getting desperate. They know they are all going to jail when the adults are back in office. They will do ANYTHING to avoid jail, including burning the country to the ground.
