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!

I'm sorry, I feel bad for it all, and her having to deal with that, I really do, but at the same time it's funny as shit. What did she think was going to happen when she associated herself with these people?
She never expected the leopard would eat her face.
I have ZERO sympathy. She CHOSE this and is continuing to stay. She’s probably a Trump heart attack away from being the First Lady and doesn’t exactly have to wonder where her next meal is coming from.
Sleep with leopards and you get eaten moron.
Same kinda thing happened with Pierre Poilievre’s wife
This is the shit that made regular ol Republicans stop running for top of the Republican ticket.
We could have had John Huntsman in 2016. But the racist wing of the party has taken over today.
But now we only have the most arrogant and power hungry fucks try to lead and put up with this shit.
It's already appalling to actively seek out and cater to the racist voters to win the southern states, but Repubs also ran propaganda for decades to deliberately increase racism so that the strategy would be more effective. The far-right radical racists have taken over because the party deliberately made them the foundation of their voting base.
I think Jon Huntsman ran in 2012
He also ran 2016 but too many Republicans were making fun of his Chinese adopted kids.
Huntsman then dropped out, reading the audience of modern Republicans.
This is tragic. And funny. Nah, not funny. Yeah, it is. But also tragic. But funny also. Nah. Yeah.
It's disgusting but also schadenfreude
It's 100% expected behavior from the right. Things are wrong and immoral until they happen to you personally. They don't like minorities, but Vance doesn't have a problem with his wife being a minority. Just like abortion is wrong until your child gets pregnant...
until your child gets pregnant...
until your ~~child~~ mistress gets pregnant...
There, I fixed it for you.
There is no surprise to this.
Okay, so this is a joke post. It is not sincere. It is sarcasm.
This is sarcasm.
Okay, get this shit. Imagine convincing the alt-right to vote for Biden with the following (horrible and presented here only for amusement) argument:
"You can't vote for Trump/Vance because Vance married an immigrant and is attempting to replace the proud tradition of a white first family (I know, I know, but it's a joke, please chill).
"You have to vote for Biden/Harris because Harris at least married a white man (again, this is a silly and racist thing to argue)."
I feel like that may work since people who are alt-right racist garbage typically cannot think their way out of a white paper bag.
Are you suggesting I vote for a WOMAN? /s
All joking aside, you'd convince a non zero number of those morons with that argument. Actually if you spewed that shit from a pulpit you'd become a leader in the maga sphere and probably pull in some $ of those idiots.
Back up, isn't the Furher married to an immigrant who used chain migration to nationalize her parents? She/they get a pass... and are white. So this really is racism in action. Good luck, folks. And to you racists, die.
No no no see she was brought in with the Einstein visa, she's a genius in action! (/s)
Always a good time for this, Fox on Michelle Obama versus Melania Trump Go to 1 minute for clothing.
She had an anchor baby too. The hypocrisy of MAGA knows no bounds.
In the context of interactions with the rest of society, fascists need to be discriminated against on the sole basis that they’re fascists.
But if the fascists are going to discriminate against other fascists based on race or whatever, I’m not gonna stop them. By all means, tear yourselves apart.
Womp womp. Roll around with pigs, get covered in shit.
I wonder how long non-white, non-christian, non-striaght people will realize that they are in the hate group lead by trump, a person that has Hitler like attributes.
The leopards, they're getting bigger 🐆
The DNC seems reluctant to back Kamala according to Jen Psaki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QUtJNbGgZs&t=365
I have to wonder if this is also racially motivated. Hard to say but, regardless the DNC needs to get their shit together.
We reluctant to back Kamala because she's a cop, sad truth.
“You dislike Kamala because she’s Black. I dislike Kamala because she’s a cop. We are not the same.”
Yes and no, IMO. Kamala Harris probably can't win, in part because the US electorate are fairly racist and sexist. There is a part of the DNCs calculus that is about winning the general election.
I think the sexism is the more likely issue.

Go sleep in the bed you made 👍
Nazis gunna Nazi 🤷♂️
So it was never about illegal immigrants? I'm shocked, shocked!
But, the TONE! I thought the right was all about peace and love and unity now. Doesn't matter what someone's race is and all that?
