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 J. Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden began with warm-up speakers who made a litany of racist remarks, vulgar insults and profanity-laden comments.

When people tell you who they are, listen. When it's like this, keep them out of power. That means voting and volunteering to stop them.

I really hope Trump and Vance get stomped into the ground so we can all collectively tell these racist, sexist, and xenophobic assholes to, on no uncertain terms, fuck off.

And yet many in those communities will still vote for him because he hates the people they hate and that's what's important for a lot of people.

They have a little something for all types of racists. They are very inclusive.

I highly recommend watching this comedian (a lot of lifting by that word). Even the crowd is over his jokes.

To be fair, it is hard to make new jokes that were used 30+ years ago. Super fresh Hillery jokes. Maybe censorship would help this guys career.

That was the longest nearly 12 minutes of my life. His jokes made no sense and he delivered them terribly. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for performers, aren't they?

Or...they're explicitly looking for one's who want to punch down by race so that they can rally supporters for a violent revolution followed by permanent fascist rule by rich white men

Why are all these right-wing grifters always some kind of failed media person? It's always some shitty hack comedian who bombed so hard they hate Brown people or some actor who couldn't act well enough to even be in a Neil Breen movie.

Gotta go after the easy marks, I guess.
