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!

Smart man. If I were a Republican, I’d probably say the same. He seems to see things right down the line. It’s a shame he didn’t manage to make it to become the 45th president; echoing his sentiment it, would have been a far greater alternative.
He's an actual traditional conservative, which isn't a republican anymore. But he has the freedom to say this because he's on his way out. If he was in the first half of his career, there's no way he'd be so up front.
That said, as someone who voted against him, it has been refreshing hearing him vocally go against Maga for years. But he has had the luxury because his seat in as head political Mormon in Mormon controlled State, and his status in the party as a former presidential nominee. He was never risking much besides being a target of MAGA domestic terrorism.
He's a fucking Mormon. Wtf is wrong with you?
The comparison is with trump. I might vote for a Scientologist if he’s my only other option.
One side of my extended family converted to the Latter-Day Saints. I've been to two Mormon weddings and even once went on a date with a Mormon lady who came from Texas.
They're chill people, 100%. In fact, they're probably the closest you'll get to traditional family values in today's society. Contrary to beliefs spread by shows like Family Guy, they don't believe in polygamy. They just don't like alcohol or caffeine.
