Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Shut up, old man. Have another stroke.
This is the project 2025 people moreso than his senile person. Their end goal, and it's not a secret, is to be able to declare martial law in districts that displease them. Not just in DC but the States as well in violation of the 10th amendment.
So this doesn't end with him.
He made threats about New York and hasn't done shit
They are just waiting for an excuse that will play with the public.
Yeah but think about it like this - when a center pin of a family dies, like good ole meemaw or peepaw, the family kinda disbands in a way because they were really just centered around that person.
This happens in most families at one point or another. Do the people in the family change their beliefs? No, they typically don't. However the family drifts apart. They don't all get together anymore for holidays or put in as much effort with the family. They don't keep in touch as well as before. That's what we're hoping happens here.
His base isn't really as cohesive anymore as was in the past. Still strong with that sheep-like desire to follow the shepherd and be herded by the dog, but fracturing in some places due to the Epstein files and the war, inflation, etc.
This doesn't end with him, I 100% agree. However, it won't have NEAR as much steam. The new center pin of the family won't have the magnetism that child raping don has, they're truly a cult after all. Cults don't do well when they lose a leader.
Also, all of the shit trump has been hiding comes out when he goes, although that may be a drip or a deluge, no one knows yet.
It's just a reprieve after dear leader passes, the base won't long accept some Vance that can't rally the base.
It's going to make it worse really, as their new guy will be smarter presumably.
But yeah, that interregnum inbetween finding a new supreme leader is the chance to take it from them. Not likely with these democrats running the show though.
That's fine. Let's hope there is a reprieve after reprieve
Eh, I dunno. Their MO is to work behind the scenes, often with Vance or random GOP congressmembers doing stuff. This feels a lot more like the usual from our Idiot-in-Chief
But I agree that the midterm elections are under serious threat from multiple parties, including the project 2025 assholes.
