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!

Urgh, articles about tweets.
That's it. Don't reward a newssite for this shit.
I'd rather more people rewarded the news site for it then rewarding twitter by going there directly
I took one for the team and went to the article, so no-one else had to.
I approve your effort.
This just rewards both of them, because the embedded Twitter elements are still there
Eh, it was pretty funny though. And it's a complete character change from Biden's campaign.
How quickly people forget the Dark Brandon clapbacks
They didn’t seem too successful in the news cycle. I still think it would be worth a try if Harris only referred to Trump as “the convicted pedophile”. Like, 1-up the orange Mussolini at his own stupid tactics.
He hasn't been convicted of being a pedophile yet. Best we can do without walking the line as regards defamation is something like "convicted felon, found liable for rape, GOOD FRIEND of Epstein who is currently fighting for your vote because it's the only real chance he has to escape the law and he knows it."
But he’s convicted and a pedophile, why do we have to do it by the book if he wins by making up whatever he wants, was my point.
her clip is pretty good though:
Trump: And then their campaign says I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon-[CUT] Harris; "I am Kamala Harris and I approve this message"
it's a nice truncation.
Unfortunately tweets by famous people are news, whether we like it or not. At least this way I don’t give Elon a page view.
