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!

Nobody should want these guys to finish the job, especially before the election. That's a recipe to end up with President Vance, and the man is an absolute moron. He makes Dan Quayle look like the spelling bee champion.
Donald Trump doesn't deserve to die from an assassin's bullet. He deserves to die of natural causes, in prison.
Vance is immensely unlikable even amongst the republican base. And the past eight years have made it clear that trump can only really get trump elected. The only downside of him going to hell is that it will give republicans a few more years to figure out their post-trump pivot (which seems to be liz cheney).
I feel like with Vance if no one specifically woke him up in the morning and made him his pop tarts he'd just miss the inauguration
I heard he is banned from Hyatt place chain wide since they all have couches.
Oh god he locked himself in the junior suite with the futon, call the fire department
Let's not pretend that the man doesn't know exactly what he is doing. His only deficit is in charisma.
Also, if trump's out, I could totally see someone like Romney stepping up, playing the "adult in the room" card, rallying a ton of centrists and economic right folks and getting just enough of the maga types (because he's not a minority woman) to win.
Again I only think a Romney type creature could find any toe hold in a post trump... Absence.
But totally speculation, could go 180. Loomis 2025?
There's 0 chance the RP would put Vance up as the new nominee, unless they're already bound and required to.
We're about 2 weeks out from there literally being no other option.
Then wait two weeks. I'm pretty sure Harris will beat trump pretty easily, and I think she'd beat Vance by even more.
Harris has left it down to the margin on the issue of Gaza. I expect a pivot from here on Oct 12th, at which point I think she'll have it locked up.
Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.
I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.
He is going to be a martyr no matter how he dies.
The conspiracy theories around his death are going to make every other conspiracy theory look quaint.
Nah bruv, let him live a decade in prison.
There's JD Vance.
There's Ron DeSantis.
There's Jim Jordan.
There's Matt Gaetz.
There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.
I want trump to die. In a supermax.
