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.

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.

Almost like he’s sone kind of russia controlled traitor puppet.
Asset Krasnov has gone full Monster Donvict Trumpepstein!
Taco can go fuck himself. What a goddamn asshole.
Unamerican shithead.
Oh well if PUTIN said it that's a TOTALLY reliable source
How ironic Putin committed election fraud in Russia. His opponents mysteriously die one after another. Putin received over 99% vote?
Perhaps we will be next.
It's projection. He scream that it was stolen for 4 fucking years, so when he actually stole this last election with help of Elon Musk. So tnat anyone who calls him out on it would look like a looney. And fucking worked too. Even though there is tbat lawsuit to prove it was rigged. Doesn't matter even if we can legally prove it. No one will listen.
Trump stole the 2024 election, and is planning on staying in power forevef. But I think what will really happen. Is he will die or be incapacitated and Vance will take over.
Then they will continue to rig the next two elections. That be 10 years of Trump style rule.
Ladies and Gentlemen we are fuck no matter what.
I'm honestly surprised there's only been one assassination attempt. He's truly hated by so many
There was that half-assed whatever it was where the guy was on his golf course. No idea how serious of a threat that was.

"he said YOUR election was rigged"
This is probably exactly what he meant (if it was ever said in the first place). Putin gets his jollies for playing Trump for the fool he is. You'd think he'd want more of a challenge though.
He said your election was rigged
He would know, he was the one doing the rigging...
I’ll never forget when my dad, who absentee votes by mail in NC, explaining to me that statewide voting by mail is dangerous. No actual claim of anything, just random shit like ‘how do they know where to send the ballots?’ After spending like 20 minutes describing how simple Oregon vote by mail is, as well as safeguards, and he still just couldn’t get it. Which is how so much misinformation is spread. Covid was the same way. There is so much ‘I don’t know how a thing works, so that means no one knows how this thing works’ in this country that it hurts my head.
There were a few regulars on Denver Post's comment section who kept harping on how we need to end voting by mail. And this is in Colorado, which has had it for years and years and years.
I swear they were probably paid...by some conservative/Republican outfit or by some foreign agency. They'd spew the same bullshit, trying to sow doubt in the heads of normies.
More than a few times I thought about trying to talk to the mods at DP about having their disinfo taken down and ideally ban these individuals, but I'm pretty sure at least a few of the mods there were more than receptive to fascist bullshit.
I don’t know how a thing works, so that means no one knows how this thing works’
That's a pretty common theme in Trump's speeches.
and he still just couldn’t get it
Because he didn't want to. Conservatives are biased against reality. The amount of cognitive dissonance that exists for them is so high that they build their own echo chambers so that they can be reinforced by their own ideology.
It would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous to our democracy.
"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' "- Issac Asimov
But no comments about 2024? So he's saying that when he was president, there was lots of fraud, but when Biden was president, there wasn't?
Hey! This is a no logic zone. You are just supposed to be outraged, you aren't supposed to think it through. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
No, Donald, Pootin said, “I rig your elections.”
What else did he whisper in his ear? I'd've loved to be a fly on the wall during that meeting. Trump must've been like putty in Putin's hands.
I mean, he is technically an expert on election fraud… I don’t think any US election has been clean for some time now. But we can all keep pretending if we like. It’s only getting better each round! Right? Take the high road. It’s leading us to wonderful places. /s
Indeed, I was ambivalent about the issue until the war criminal weighed in.
Two paedophile autocrat homies found each other. Save children, let them finally fuck.
Oh I have a much simpler suggestion in order to make children safer from these two twat waffles.
Guillotine requires at least a third person.
I ain't got all that many weekend plans. You?
I can't believe I'm crediting Clinton like this but that's an absolutely hilarious 5d chess move on her part
I'll just leave this here
Yeah but public services are communism so we should privatize the USPS so private corporations will finally be directly in charge of making sure votes are handled correctly.
It's a nice corporate -> government pipeline, just cut out the pesky middlemen (citizens).
