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 Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

Kamala needs to go fire and brimgstone with her presidency so we don't have to spend the next several decades years with every election being "maintain the status quo or become the fourth reich"

Dial back bush and Obama's expansions of executive power. The office of the president isn't supposed to be powerful enough that someone like trump can do so much damage.

At bare minimum she needs to halt the genocide in Palestine, have Netanyahu and co sent to The Hague, deport Elon Musk, send Trump to prison, nationalise SpaceX for a start.

And do SOMETHING about Gerrymandering. Anything. Mention it in an interview. Ask Congress to act. Withhold funding from egregious states.

That is only going to have a chance in hell at happening if she and a democratic majority in senate and house addresses the republican issue first and goes after, prosecutes, and convicts the traitors, foreign agents, and the corrupt.

Yeah I don’t think it has any chance of actually happening. Democratic voters will go to brunch and they will all just move further to the right.

She needs an attorney general with balls. I nominate Hillary Clinton.

I nominate Jack Smith.

Fuck no. The fuck is wrong with you.

We are only in this mess to begin with cause of her stupidity and fucking arrogance.

and no, this isnt some "omg u haet hilary cause u haet woman!" fucking lizard brain wanna be "alpha male" right wing bullshit.

Shes genuinely a bad candidate, for any position, She threw away the last election cause she couldnt even be bothered to campaign in several states she considered safe, instead spending time having sneaky-hidey meetings behind closed doors (and behind white noise generators to deal with anyones pesky over hearing what shes saying) with money and corporations, and I guarantee you they were not meetings in any way that benefited the average american, else they wouldnt have felt the need to have them all hush hush and behind white noise generators. If a Republican had secret meetings with money behind white noise generators the internet would lose its goddamn mind over it ffs!

and if that wasnt bad enough, shes a Republican. Sure, she calls herself a democrat, but shes a Republican. Shes not an openly racist, hate mongering, Putin dick sucking piece of shit like republicans today, shes a Republican from 30 years ago when they still hid behind flowery and coded language, and had the false appearance of amiable servants of the public good to anyone that didnt look too closely.

Keep Hillary, and Bill, far the fuck away from the goddamn white house.
