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!

After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “lifting up Donald Trump…in prayer.”

Well, that is the only way a single person could possibly lift him up.

He’s a big guy but i bet i could lift him fireman carry style.

To be fair, your surge binding helps a lot.

That's a big MFer, if my ambulance had to transport him and he couldn't stand I'd call the fire department for a lift assist.

He's all fat.

I don't know why people always expect him to weigh so much. He has a lot of volume, but relatively little mass.

Like an inflatable balloon. He'd be awkward to carry, but not impossible.

Weaklings like Pence and Romney will bend over backwards now that Trump has survived a 'war.'

Nothing good is in store for her

I honestly kind of feel bad for her

But that is the problem with being a bullshit-person; you're always at the mercy of whatever bullshit is fashionable at the time, and if it changes, you may have 0 options, absolutely none at all.

As of Tuesday, she wasn't even invited, and Haley said she was ok with that because its Trump's convention and he can do what he likes.

Even after Haley released her 97 delegates, Trump said there was "a lot of bad blood" between the two and suggested she still wouldnt be invited.

Unless she's getting the VP nod, she should have zero reason to go there imo.

Keeping herself in the spotlight in case something happens to Trump.

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 2 points 3 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley served as a United Nations Ambassador under Trump before challenging him for the Republican nomination.

When she dropped her bid earlier this year, Haley said she wasn’t sure if she would support Trump.

Last week, Haley released her 97 delegates encouraged them to vote for him at the convention.

At that time, a spokesperson said Haley was not invited and was "fine with that," but wished Trump well.

Two sources familiar with her plans now say Haley WILL speak at the RNC.

After Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, Haley expressed her horror at the attack and said she was “lifting up Donald Trump…in prayer.”


The original article contains 177 words, the summary contains 112 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Nikki thinks he's going to quit too.
