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!

No. No he won’t and you fucking know it. Stop believing this shit. It’s all theater and market manipulation.

The man has more money than anyone and owns X/Twitter. His reach is global. It doesn't matter what country he is in. He could fund primaries for every sitting member of the Senate and House and not put a dent in his wealth. Isn't this what all his fans a wanted?

Even if Taco really doesn't like fElon, I don't see him doing this since it won't "own the libs".

Political theater. It won’t happen.

Pretty much everyone agrees that Trump will do whatever the last person in the room with him suggests so I wouldn't call it impossible but otherwise yeah, a bunch of kayfabe nonsense in all likelihood.

They both have too many skeletons to want to actually try anything.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Yet not a spine among them.

I think it's just a WWE match at this point. They'll have a dramatic fight with some fake blows, and then go pick up their paychecks. They might even go hang out if there's not actually any bad blood between them. They're pretty much coworkers at this point. They might have real personal conflicts, but I doubt they'll actually air those grievances with their customers. Too many skeletons, as others have said.

In this day and age skeletons in the closet are a plus.
