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... when Harris turned him down for a possible cabinet position in exchange for an endorsement, he goes with the rapist. Got it.

Give him an ambassadorship to fucking Antarctica. Oh wait, no, he would try and eat the dead penguins and get fucking heartworm.

And nothing of value would be lost. What's the issue here?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I dunno. I’m sure the heart worms fill a valued ecological niche.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The dead penguins and some heart worm medication that could go to someone who might be the most bizarre human to seriously seek the presidency in my lifetime, I’m an elder millennial for reference. It’s insane that not only is 2nd place in the same race and that as fucking vile, insane, and weird as Trump is, he doesn’t hold a candle to the strangeness RFK Jr dude is off his fucking rocker

Exactly. If there was any doubt about these assholes being legitimate candidates, they are saying out loud that they aren't. They're in for an agenda, and they clearly do not care which side wins, or what the fallout is. Clearly just trying to get a seat at the table by any means necessary.

I'm sure Joe Rogan is crying in his Protein Shake.

Just what the GOP needs, more brain damaged garbage people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, actually yeah. It's kinda their whole strategy at this point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

And they do have to replace the ones they killed with COVID…

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

"Oh shit, we're siphoning voters from the wrong side, how do we fix this?"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

BrainDead and BrainWorm 2024!

That will be an amazing yard sign. All the maggots will cosplay as brain worm for next clan rally

If trump kicked Vance off the ticked and replaced him with RFK that would be something to behold!

I doubt even this election will be that crazy, though.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Their whole shit has been a scam. RFK is a fucking grifter. He talks about pollution then allies with the very party that opposas the EPA on the regular.

Idiots dont even realize that if they leave the race it won't fix anything for Trump it will just add to the image of Trump being a weirdo.

Like tag team wrestling?

pika-chuuuuuuuuuu

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Oh shit, the wife of the Google dude, is trying to threaten the admin that's trying to break up Google? I almost think those are related.
