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!

So far this week...

  1. Trump embraces Mark Robinson, a Holocaust-denier who posted on porn message boards that he likes golden showers with his wife's sister, for governor in North Carolina.
  2. Don Jr. dumps Kim Guilfoyle and is seen kissing a woman 15 years younger than her in a Florida restaurant
  3. Laura Loomer, age 31, spends two days with Trump, says she loves him, and is photographed pressing up against him.
  4. Melania Trump, out of the blue, issues a public statement about why she was a nude model even though nobody asked. She remains AWOL on the campaign trail.
  5. The president of the Teamsters Union refuses to endorse Kamala Harris, who agrees with his union on every major issue, then is completely undercut as thousands of his own members in Pennsylvania, Michigan and other key states endorse her anyway, and Teamsters legend Jimmy Hoffa Jr., calls it a "failure of leadership" and endorses Harris.
  6. A new poll shows Ted Cruz trailing in his Senate race

Interesting movie. Wonder what happens next week.

Sorry guys, it's my fault, I said the writers fell asleep at the wheel awhile back and I didn't expect them to say "ok, bet."

Republicans making so many unforced errors.

The stupid part is none of this could matter and they could still win

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Don't worry, loomer's just got a prison fetish, and possibly a Trump baby bump.

Excellent summary. If we could just keep Bannon in jail a few extra weeks.

Things have come off the rails since he has been out of the picture.

I mean, this is a guy who purchased his wife. If you can call her that without an asterisk.

Trump can't afford to piss off racists. They're a core Republican demographic in NC.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Trump needs radicalized paramilitary for his path to victory. Doubling down on all the shitty things that appeal to his base is way more important for him than trying to build broader appeal.

I choose to interpret this as even prominent Republicans are now willing to admit that trans people are hottt.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Why would he? This is so on brand for Trump.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

But what about a concept of a plan?? Inquiring minds...
