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!

Harris Campaign needs to HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF THIS for the next two weeks. He does not care at all.
They've already got a couple of posts up about it on their social media

The video on cancel looks like QVC. The "Trump Combat Knife" and banner promoting patriotaddictdeals.com just sum up the Republican party so well.
How to get your identity stolen in one easy step.
I'm fairly certain kamalahq is not directly affiliated with her campaign.
Then look at the KamalaHarris account quote tweeting the kamalahq account saying "hope he's ok"

It's just been extremely difficult to find anything that directly admits that they are affiliated (for whatever reason).
But the closest I finally found was this: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-debuts-official-tiktok-account-as-presidential-campaign-picks-up.html
I think that's the point. He never cared. He never worked for this and never wanted it. He has been made into an icon by others and has become aware that his actions are not attached to consequences. Imagine you were playing fortnite but your character was invincible. You'd just be running up to people and doing obnoxious dance moves after awhile. That's what has happened here.
Like Brewster’s millions.
I want to make some sort of Poopster's Billions joke, but nah that's too crass. Also that would imply he actually had that much money.
Honest question, do you actually think anyone who is willing to vote for the Toupee is intelligent enough to care what he does?
It's also turnout game that matter at single digit percentages. If it dissuades 1% of trump supporters from turning out that matters. Or if it increases dem turnout by 1% that also matters
They don't give a flying fuck what he does to them so long as they think he's going to do worse things to other people.
Fox News (Bryan Llenas) take on it I'm dead

lmfao this is not the bomb.
how about we say on record Nazis are running for office.
Oh wait. Music might be a better pick.
You not be reading the news much, but the Bible Belt seems totally cool with Nazi behavior. Less cool with people stringing them along about being a Nazi. Fucked up, yes. This is what's happening in this country right now though.
Please elaborate, are you saying it's okay to be a Nazi because some people are already being okay with being Nazis?
He's saying it's not going to change anything for anyone. The folks voting for Harris are voting for Harris whether they know he's a Nazi or not. And the folks voting for Trump are voting for Trump whether he's a Nazi or not. (And some of them because he's a Nazi.)
It's not that he's a criminal rapist who stole and possibly sold sensible documents, but he played MUSIC?! We gottem now boys.
Amen. We don't toss the shit in the air, we just catch it in our mouths.
This is just one of thousands of rage bait and 'trump bad', 'trump stupid' articles. There is nothing of real substance other than to get anti-trumpers to click on the link.
If you went to a more pro-trump site you would see very similar articles about Kamala and Biden
When I look at the "pro Trump side" I see made up nonsense and impossible conspiracy theories. When I look at the anti Trump side I see videos of Trump talking.
A pro Trump acquaintance claimed that Trump had been acquitted this week of his 34 felonies. I told him he should start reading better news sources. (The clearest evidence that that didn't happen is the fact that Trump hasn't said anything about it, because if it did, you'd never hear the end of it. )
