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!

"Exclusive: Trump Drops Springfield Visit Amid Warnings of 'An Armed Citizenry Is Sick of Your Fucking Shit'"
National guard is literally right there
Tin soldiers and nixons coming.
All too appropriate, and frightening.
Makes sense. The Repubs' homegrown terrorists keep trying to shoot him. Their delusional conspiracies have radicalized racists into making bomb threats in Springfield. There is no telling how many Repub terrorists are waiting to pop off there.
Yeah, not sure how that visit could benefit his campaign. It would be like Alex Jones running for office and doing a stop at Sandy Hook Elementary. Continuing to double down on these wild conspiracy theories is not expanding Trump's base, which he needs to do if he actually wants to win the legal way.
It's mind-boggling he even planned this to begin with
His sole purpose for running is to stay out of prison, and with his stacked Supreme Court he knew they would disregard the constitution to help out the guy responsible for their lifetime appointment. It's why he announced his running so early as well, he knew he was about to be indicted for some of his crimes, so he announced so he can play the "election interference" card again.
Don’t forget, he also had to announce so he could run his life with campaign funds too. He’s fucking broke without that money. (Unless he somehow manages to cash out of truth social before getting stuck holding the penny stock).
He is also grifting his base on his NFT cards, several different coins, $2 bills with his booking photo, his new crypto currency that they can't explain, his Bible and like dozens of others I'm forgetting. He has fleeced his followers for so much over the past 8 years that it's wild they never stopped to think about how much more disposable income they might have if they didn't give it all to the guy that has nothing but disgust for them. He might pretend to hate the "libs" and "immigrants", but the people he thinks the least of are the people he cons into buying his snake oil.
The Orange Turd doing what he does best. Create chaos.
And then running away like the coward that he is
First it was, "I'm going to Springfield!" Then it was, "...in a couple weeks." Like his healthcare plan and infrastructure week, it was then that we all knew it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
