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!

Guess this was the looming news mentioned this morning. This fucker has zero shame, so I don't expect him to drop.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago

Republicans want him to drop out for two reasons.

  1. Black
  2. Might make people not vote for more Republicans in our gerrymandering state.

I was just thinking, “I wonder when he’ll divorce his wife.”

When people show you who they are, believe them!

He has been this person. Quoting Hitler saying women shouldn't vote, black people were better under Jim Crow, abortion is murder, etc.. He is a real great guy, loving husband, and loving Christian.

Well that was a wild read. What a charming person

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

Only the best for this great state.(͡•_ ͡• )

Willing to bet he still wins. Locker room talk and all that.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm generally pretty pessimistic about shit like this, but he was polling badly to begin with, I can't imagine this helps him any.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He’s endearing himself to the base though.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

He is getting beat down bad here. Republicans bet on the black vote. Black voters don't like to hear slavery was good and he would like to own some.
