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!

he told his supporters "to go out and vote on 'January 5th’”

Yes, listen to your dear leader. Mark your calendars and make sure to visit the polls in January. We all know Trump is always right and knows exactly what he’s saying, which is why it’s so important to only follow what he says to do. Don’t listen to any of the liberal lies about when election day supposedly is. They’re just trying to confuse you with more FAKE NEWS.

I heard there is a big liberal media conspiracy to trick everyone into fake elections claiming to be in november so that they don't vote in the real ones.

"Donald Trump says to vote on January 5th. The liberal media is telling you you should vote in Nov instead. Who do you believe?" /s

That's such a "Doesn't he look tired" move on Kamala's part. Love it. I watched that Trump town hall, it was not a good look for him at all. It started very late, questions came off of prepared queue cards, Trump rambled nonsense while holding himself up on a chair and sitting like there was something in his pants, then he called it early and just stood there swaying back and forth.

Dude is not all there, and it's worse than before, and I say that as someone who believed until yesterday he was just as bad as always, he isn't, it's much much worse now.

Harris’ response has “Bless his heart” feels to it for sure.

He does appear to be “fraying” and at an increasing rate.

And I love that for him

Four words!

The man is clearly sundowning in front of everybody's eyes

[–] Organichedgehog@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Harris needs to be HAMMERING this.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

She's certainly increased her messaging about it. For instance, she recently release her medical records and loudly asked why trump wasn't doing the same this year when he has in the past

[–] Organichedgehog@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

why trump wasn't doing the same this year when he has in the past

Which, honestly, is kinda weird. Like obviously he can just fake records like he has in the past.

Trump opted to have more music played, rather than take more questions at the event, as he danced to songs including the Village People's "YMCA" and swayed along to Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," Rufus Wainwright's version of "Hallelujah" and Guns N' Roses' "November Rain."

So, I know GnR has already told him not to play their music. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say The Village People and Sinead O'Connor would feel exactly the same way. I can't speak for Rufus Wainwright.

[–] undercrust@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 month ago

Sinead's Estate has also already demanded they stop using her music at his rallies.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen's estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.

Think since he is an admitted baddie he should play the Imperial March when he walks out.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

That's what was playing when our wedding party came into the wedding reception, and then Throne Room when we came in.

"Hope he's okay"

I don't. I hope he's very not okay.

To be perfectly blunt, I hope he had an aneurism, followed by a heart attack.

Sinead is rolling in her grave. She'd hate having her music played by this asshole.

Lol.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

He is not okay. He never was but he is more "not okay" now.
