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!

Is this dr. G? I’ve been blocking his stuff from yt since forever and now I’m exposed to him here.
I guess "YouTuber uploads new video" isn't as attention grabbing but it feels more accurate. The guy's got a channel where he speculates on current events in politics and noteworthy criminal cases. He'll release another video about the signs of Trump's mental decline next week too, because he does one every week.
Come on now. People kept saying all this sort of thing about Putin and he's still here. Hatred sustains them.
Unfortunately, I'm convinced Trump will live to be 102
It's very funny to see Senators and Congressmen dropping like mayflies while the news fixates on a couple of guys who will likely live into the triple digits.
who specializes in body language
Yeah, but can we ask a phrenologist for a second opinion?
Who the fuck cares? Stop wasting your time with meaningless nonsense.
Play the game of politics and learn how to beat him, or stfu. This is just big-D Democrat nonsense. The world is not an ideal fairy tale, this does not matter one iota unless his base cares, which they very obviously don't.
Beating Trump is like killing a single cancer cell in a huge tumor.
This dude's not a politician. He's presenting is professional opinions publicly about the leader of the US. Everyone should care about that. I for one love seeing posts like this. That he's doing is at some degree "playing the game of politics" because this person has specific skills, not as a politician, but he's using them to publicize a politicians state of being. You sound like you have a better road map for what this person should be doing instead. Care to elaborate on that?
Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist, certainly cares. This gets his name into the news....
How do you beat him
In the words of Kyle Gass, next time don’t miss.
Competent marksman?
As an outside observer, it looks like either Obama could have, it looks like Sanders could have, it looks like Budigeg could, it looks like Mamdani could.
Run a real candidate against him with a coherent political view that's not just a bunch of big D Democrat nonsense.
Just to take two options off the list: under the current state of the constitution, Obama can't run for a third term, and Mamdani is not eligible for the presidency (being foreign-born).
There's no need for armchair theorizing when we have a real mechanic system for making the best odds: it's called a primary and the DNC hasn't seen it necessary to use one in 20 years
agree! the last candidate they embraced was Obama. since then, the playbook has been "do something that the people are familiar with and lets call it a day" like a shitty disney live action reboot
They didn’t really embrace Obama either until it was clear he was going to beat Clinton
With a piece of rusty rebar?
He can get WORSE???
I wonder whose job it is to make sure his diaper is secure every day, because if it's just up to Orange McShitsalot one of these days we're gonna have footage of diarrhea flowing out of his pant leg onto his shoe and covering the ground he walks on
