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!

Meh, his base will love it.
At this point, the only thing that would be legitimately shocking for the audience would be if he had an actual aneurysm or heart attack mid-speech and died. Anything else he says or does won't move the shock needle much at all.
My maga coworkers were already talking about what time it would be on. They're grabbing their popcorn... They love this piece of shit.
If he dies on TV that would probably become the most watched video of the decade.
If he walked out on stage with no pants, sang badly for 20 minutes, fell over, and crawled away he would be greeted with thunderous applause and rabid acclaim.
Of they are so scared, why don't they stop him? They are literally the only one with the power to do it.
Trump can fire almost anyone he wants for almost any reason
We're all scared shitless. Some of us are just slower on the uptake.
Someone out ol yeller out to pasture for good. Fuck this mango Mussolini piece of shit.
Come on America, do the 2nd amendment thing you all feel so strongly about.
Something like that before midterms would be just what the GOP wants to exercise more control and cancel elections.
If it happens now, we'll all be highly suspicious of an inside job.
