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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

So far this week...

  1. Trump embraces Mark Robinson, a Holocaust-denier who posted on porn message boards that he likes golden showers with his wife's sister, for governor in North Carolina.
  2. Don Jr. dumps Kim Guilfoyle and is seen kissing a woman 15 years younger than her in a Florida restaurant
  3. Laura Loomer, age 31, spends two days with Trump, says she loves him, and is photographed pressing up against him.
  4. Melania Trump, out of the blue, issues a public statement about why she was a nude model even though nobody asked. She remains AWOL on the campaign trail.
  5. The president of the Teamsters Union refuses to endorse Kamala Harris, who agrees with his union on every major issue, then is completely undercut as thousands of his own members in Pennsylvania, Michigan and other key states endorse her anyway, and Teamsters legend Jimmy Hoffa Jr., calls it a "failure of leadership" and endorses Harris.
  6. A new poll shows Ted Cruz trailing in his Senate race

Interesting movie. Wonder what happens next week.

Republicans making so many unforced errors.

The stupid part is none of this could matter and they could still win

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Don't worry, loomer's just got a prison fetish, and possibly a Trump baby bump.

Excellent summary. If we could just keep Bannon in jail a few extra weeks.

Things have come off the rails since he has been out of the picture.

Trump can't afford to piss off racists. They're a core Republican demographic in NC.

Trump needs radicalized paramilitary for his path to victory. Doubling down on all the shitty things that appeal to his base is way more important for him than trying to build broader appeal.

I choose to interpret this as even prominent Republicans are now willing to admit that trans people are hottt.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Why would he? This is so on brand for Trump.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

But what about a concept of a plan?? Inquiring minds...
