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!

Instead it will be his death day that will be globally celebrated.
I will personally celebrate with the most expensive whiskey I can find on this day.
I'm trying to drink less but yeah I should go get a good bottle just to celebrate the deaths of bad people
Bro I am getting fucked up in the street
Same!
Let's make a bar date!
Most expensive is usually a bad decision. The most expensive ones been aged long is, and eventually a lot of the character goes away and it starts to taste more woody.
I go with whatever the f*** tastes the best.
I will make it a tradition to celebrate his death every year.
Religious people love doing that.
it'll be bigger than jesus!
His death is probably going to be the final spark for civil war
The circumstances seem important, don't they? Like, it's different if he nods off and shits himself one last time, surrounded by everyone in the Cabinet Room vs. if something external visibly happens to him. I guess either way the wolves will try to spin it to light that spark they want.
Between what factions? Because the factions who would try to use a power vacuum to gain power is doing so right now and not a lot of his followers would actually be willing to follow through on "avenging" him or whatever.
He's a focal point for assholes who use his example as an excuse to behave like monsters - there's no real coherent ideology for his followers to latch into with him gone to get anything done at all. You'll just see various random conspiracy theorists trying stupid shit and a couple of militias delusional enough to think they have broad support who then will be wiped out. They might inflict some damage, but it won't look like civil war, more like the occasional domestic terrorist.
JD Vance does seem a lot like Nick Offerman’s character in “Civil War”
here we go again with Americans thinking they are the fucking bellybutton of the universe.. there are worse people on the planet than Donald Trump, his death won’t be celebrated “globally”
As a Swede, I'll definitely celebrate it
As a Finnish, I’ll definitely celebrate it.
Well, don’t get me wrong. I don’t like the man any more than you do. But I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that most people on the planet does not give a fuck, or might even know who the guy is.
My critique is not of the intent of the message, just the fact that ppl from the US think that all that happens in the US must be on the world agenda, and is probably that most important thing in the universe right now..
This self importance is tiring, and stretches from left to right in US politics.
You’re happy he’s alive?
