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!

Pop quiz: without using google, what was the date of the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
No peeking!
You think you have a big gotcha here, but it was covered extensively when it happened. The google (or Bing in this case)(you don't want us to do returns over 10 pages of results, including articles from:
Some of these sources wrote more than one article, with at least three by CNN and two by NPR.
You might think none of us know that Trump came close to assassination on 2024-09-15, but did you know that Trump didn't tell his secret service detail he was going to the golf course, so they didn't do a perimeter sweep before he got out there? They only found the shooter because Trump was finishing up one hole and they rushed to the next and spotted the would-be assassin.
Yeah I think it’s a big gotcha. The fact you didn’t know without using a search engine proves my point.
And what is your point, exactly?
You don't even have the courage to state your point bruh, you're far from actually having one lol
This poster thinks I didn't know. But how can it know that. I just pointed out that there were literally hundreds of articles, then correctly cited the date. It's not making the point it thinks it's making. The media covered both idiots that took the pot shots at the Trumpster Fire. To the tune of hundreds of articles.
It isn’t a gotcha and you have no point
