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!

Want some real good stuff? Here's a video where the cameraman pans around to the empty seats immediately after Trump says there are none. This is from a different media group as the original source, NTD (right-wing Falun Gong media), took the video down. I'm guessing the cameraman no longer has a job.

That is good stuff.

There's a part of me that just hopes that it's all been a big smoke screen and that Trump doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of and he just gets fucking pancaked in the vote.

I'm not confident that this will happen though which is scary.

Yeah, Biden felt a lot more likely to win and it was both super close and Trump hadn't done an insurrection or been convicted yet. It shouldn't be uncertain.

Even with the chipmunk voice I can tell that it's Trump and I hate it.

I suspect today will be the best day of the rest of Trump's life.

He's wasted tired and anxious but at least he still has hope.

We all know who Trump is. Tomorrow, we find out who America is.

Ah shit well we already know that too...we are fucked

The devil's in the details.

This got me to half-mast

"...there can be no true despair without hope."

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This adage is also reversible.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Which only makes it better.

Campaign ran out of money to pay their appearance fee

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I feel like it was just cut on purpose. Why keep paying when the election is right there and then the money stops coming in.

Time to flush the Orange Turd he is sticking to the rim.
