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!

Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

I want his death to be so nonchalant that nobody even realizes he's actually dead.

like, he goes to take a shit and dies on the toilet and nobody notices for like a day.

and when they find him hes all riggered up and covered in shit and piss.

and the person to find him is a secretary he's treated like shit for years. she takes pics of him, sells them for a huge amount of money, and everyone mocks him for the next two generations.

and in every history book, the last line will be about how he died covered in his own urine and feces.

He was a piece of shit. In his final moments, he was comforted by his kin.

he is making a public statement about the results of the election, complaining about how it's rigged against him. He makes the comment, "as god as my witness, I'm not lying!" when he suddenly grabs his chest and pleades into the camera, "me... save... me..."

blood begins to run out his nose all over his face and suit as his face contorts in anguish.

the cameras continue to roll as he falls off stage into an unmoving heap on the floor.

footage cuts to eye witness testimony where a man with a deep southern drawl says, "We was lookin up at him and God struck him down! he fell right in front of me, and began to shit and piss himself. God as my witness!"

the news will run it as his heart hemorrhaging, conservative media will say his heart was too full of love. but all anyone will remember is he died shitting and pissing his pants on national television.

I was hoping for a chest-burster alien maybe

Yeah don’t stop there. I’m close.

Agree with everything there, but man. I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of your imagination.

A truly fitting epitaph
