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.

Joe’s Response: Why’d you kill the bipartisan immigration bill Donnie?
Is this a Lighthouse reference or am I just too A24-pilled?
At the upcoming presidential debate on June 27, Donald Trump plans to highlight a handful of horrific murders—allegedly by undocumented migrants—and blame them on President Biden. We know this because Trump told us so right on his Truth Social feed.
Eh, it's not that original. It's not any more "vile" than anything Trump has said before. It will fade into the background and not move the needle for voters.
I think Trump is going to lose the 2024 election because he's not interesting anymore. His former voters may vote for him, but the "undecided" voter who decides at the last minute will not.
If only Biden could debate as well as Jon Stewart. He’d destroy Trump though we all know Donny wouldn’t dare turn up to that debate.
Dark Brandon can get pretty savage. Hoping Biden still has him tucked away for emergencies.
I’m pretty sure dark Brandon is Biden’s millennial Twitter account manager. I don’t think he’ll show up for the debate.
He showed up well at the last SOTU.
There should be a debate where the nominees get to choose a champion to take their place.
Jon "The Bow-Tie Butcher" Stewart
vs
Vivek "The Right Shade of Brown" Ramaswamy
I think this might be an idea that's so stupid, it's awesome.
Thats called a vice presidential debate
Biden beat Trump at the last debate. And Biden won the presidency.
If only Biden was someone else and not Joe Biden.
Most of Jon Stewart's debate prowess comes from being extremely intelligent and being intellectually honest and curious about finding the truth behind the rhetoric.
Biden has at most part of the first, is notoriously bad at the second even by the standards of a politician, and is the polar opposite on the third.
Not exactly a bold prediction to say Trump is gonna be racist at the debate. Kind of a free space on the bingo card at this point.
On another thread someone was posting about how women in France are swinging hard right because of similar messaging, like it went from 23% to 31% pretty quickly. So unfortunately that's evidence that this might work here and an effective countermeasure should be prepared and tested.
Biden: "we're catching more people than you did."
Mic drop
He needs to just snap back and say “No, that’s a lie.” When Trump pulls this shit
The undecided “independents” are pretty fucking dim, but you have to give them more than that to engage their 5 rusty neurons.
satan. npr had two man on the street things (both were actually women). One said its hard because im biden socially but trump for the economy and another is like well you have to admit the economy was better under trump. It irks me so much that people do not understand how the economy works as far as interest rates. Trump bully pullpitted the fed to zero them before covid after obama had been slowly raising them. He is directly responsible for the inflation and them having to be jacked at a break neck pace.
I agree but the point is to call it out in real time
I think he'd at least need to be clear on which part is a lie; did the killings not actually happen or are they not his fault?
He'd be muted though. So snapping back isn't something either of them can do. They have to wait their turn.
So, he can say it during his turn. Every time. And not "that's a lie," but "You are a liar."
