Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

that's before it started, but even during the speech was still a small crowd
Is... is that four seasons total landscaping?!
It might be. There was definitely at least one dildo there.
This came up on reddit. it was pointed out in the comments this picture was taken an hour and a half before the event started. it did fill out for when he was speaking
Yeah context matters and fair is fair. I mean they don't share that philosophy, and while I'd like to maintain the ethical high ground, reality dictates that we have to speak in a language they understand.
Pics or it was empty
I would have gone, but I had to feed my cats :(
Oh, looks like Michigan must have a Four Seasons landscaping too
Wait, seriously. Did they do it again??
Nah, the Trump campaign is rapidly running out of places they can do rallies, because a lot of cities are requiring them to pay up front. This is normally unusual, but Trump stiffed SO MANY PLACES that he still owes $500kish from his last two campaigns.
Normal businesses are easier to keep away legally than cities.
I'm pretty sure I've been to at least 2 weddings with more people than that
Seems like there could have been about as many semi-trucks as there were attendees at that event.
Dang, most of the pixels didn't even go.
This isn't the correct picutre though right? this was before he was speaking. There was more people than this when he started speaking apparently. Like way more, but definitely not what is expected from a VP.
I made this for a different thread and then decided to not use it, so I'm going to post it here:
"Get in the damn Secret Service murder car, JD!"
🎵 Get out of my dreams, and into my [secret service murder] car 🎵
Thank you for this, it's awful
I guess people like their recliners better than jd
Nobody likes a recliner better than JD!
Recliner? I barely know 'er!
If they leave their homes to go to a political rally, who will protect their soft, smooth and willing furniture from JD Vance's insatiable attention?
Now I want a parody of those 90s sexual harrassment PSAs but its just furniture talking about Vance. Bonus points if ya also do one based off those real fucked up 50s anti-gay ones, like really if ya can pull that off with the fucked up overtones intact ill be impressed.
"There are dozens of us! Dozens!"
Well, dozen.
Dozenish
Cheezus, there were more people at my kid’s backyard birthday party.
Why weren’t any of us invited? Fucking selfish, bro.
The Republicans couldn't come up with better
He’s soooo unlikeable you can’t expect people to turn out for that
"If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?"
Chris O'Brien can't do basic multiplication.
10 rows, 10 seats on each side: 2 sides.
10 * 10 * 2 = 200.
Oh, two sides! I didn't understand that. It's right there "on each side" but that didn't click for me as meaning this times two. Rereading it now, it's obvious.
I will always upvote someone who admits a mistake. Good on you.
I upvoted you for upvoting it and I upvoted it itself myself.
10 rows x 10 seats per row = 100 seats per side.
100 seats per side x 2 sides = 200 seats.
Where is the error?
As someone else pointed out and I acknowledged, I didn't read it as two sides of that many seats each. Once I looked again I could see it was said plainly. My bad.
