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!

Trump shows up during a ceremony honoring the people that died due to his 2020 agreements with the Taliban, breaks the cemetery’s “no political photography” rule, all in an attempt to regain rapport with veterans and active service members.
Beyond delusional.
And of course he personally attacked the person who had the audacity to enforce the very reasonable rules protecting these soldiers' graves from being used for bullshit political stunts by insurrectionist traitors who do not value freedom and democracy and the principles these soldiers dedicated their lives to.
Not personally, I thought it was a staffer.
I meant personally as in targeting a specific individual with insults over doing their jobs and following procedures, but you're right that it was a staffer (not that I don't think Trump would do similar)
Oh and Vance, a fucking GWOT vet (although without a CAR we know he didn’t actually get up to any hoodrat shit) himself, defended him.
Not only did he defend Trump, but he also told Harris to "go to hell" as part of that defense.
As if it's the VPs job to do hiring and firing in the military or executive branch. What an idiotic redirection.
Also ignoring that the investigation of the IED bombing found there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it, as is often the case in these low level terror attacks.
Both pieces of shit. I'm glad this shitty pandering is backfiring.
Right? What does he thinks the VP does exactly?
He might be imagining he'll be a VP like Dick Cheney and projecting that onto Harris.
Vance is really on a roll since that donut shop tour, lol
thumbs up
