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!

Cool, so that's illegal.
There's no jumping going on here. Dude's a broken af record. He can't stop lying about his loss. He will continue to lie about his loss.
I mean, he's doing a lot more than just lying. He flubbed 2018 because he wasn't prepared for the popular backlash to his first two years. But now he's got a new crew of pencil necked shits who are much more serious about a Permanent Republican Majority than the last gang.
What worries me about 2026 isn't that Trump's going to try to steal the election. Time and again, the GOP has demonstrated that they are willing to do whatever it takes to manufacture the appearance of popular approval. What worries me is that the opposition party's response to each new encroachment is to just roll the fuck over and blame voters for not voting hard enough.
Whether it's Operation Eagle Eye or EagleAI, J6 or the Brooks Brothers' Riot, the Democrats only seem to want to take power if its straight up shoved into their laps. And even then, they don't want to do anything with it, unless the thing is giving more fascists more money to bomb more brown people overseas.
Trump will go into 2026 saying he's winning. He'll insist the exit polls are rigged and insist his party won in November. And then he'll fight tooth and nail to make his bullshit lies a reality. And he'll have Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel and Marc Andressen and Miriam Adelson and Tilman Fertitta all throwing their considerable wealth and clout right behind him when he does.
I haven't seen anything to suggest Schumer or Jefferies or Gavin Newsom or Tim Walz or any other national Democrat with a hint of clout will do a damned thing to stop him. We'll get a 5-4 decision from the SCOTUS saying Trump is Dictator For Life, and they'll all just shrug and blame Transgender Palestinian Communists for the loss.
LOL it's so cute how she pretends it's not going to just be another long rant about the 2020 election, and how they need to rig the 2026 election to ensure it's "safe" and "secure", just like they did when they called for gerrymandering.
Where are your bingo cards, folks?
