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!

I thought the title meant the mayor was scorching the paper after the paper endorsed Harris.

No, the mayor endorsed Harris in the paper by scorching Trump.

Confusing headline.

Such a weird way to title it

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They were just too busy being flabbergasted by a in-office R endorsing a D nominee lmao

They also had to cram sensationalist words like "scorching" in there, because apparently the Venn diagram of the WWE and American politics is nearly a circle.

^oh my god it’s Bernie sanders with a steel chair^

Looks like they were so absolutely dead set on starting the sentence with ‘gop mayor’ that any semblance of clarity left the building

[–] Hazzia@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago

Which is still weird because "GOP Mayor endorses Harris in scorching op-ed for newspaper" really ain't too far off

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I read it the right way initially but I see how it could easily be misinterpreted

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah I feel I only understood it because I had seen the headline (more sensibly worded) elsewhere

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

It’s just scorching because everything in Arizona is very hot this time of year.
