Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge. 

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

National Review is about the only place I bother to go for an R take on news, and their front page is not very positive about him this morning.

I'm so disappointed :

I like to make sure people actually read the things I share! 😁

The first half is real from their page, I just assumed the second half was what the article would be about.

For a minute I was wondering if the National Review was going the way of whatever the fuck that one Bee website is... something like a conservative take on The Onion. Can't remember the name and I'm out of fucks to give to look it up.

Babylon Bee. I like their logo, but that's about the only positive I have about them.

You are better off having those braincells back for useful things than retaining that info. I'm a lost cause. 😜

Lauren only rated it a 2 theater-handjobs out of 10. Very low energy and uninspiring.

She gives it one thumb up. Then down. Then up. Then down. Then up. Then down....

Childless cat lady Taylor Swift? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Edit: I had to look this up, she called herself this in the endorsement in her sign off message at the end in response to something JD Vance said about women earlier.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I liked this one because it's objectively funny both in context and out. Now you're informed and entertained!

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In that sense it's a good bait from her as well to get even more headlines.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I don't know much about Taylor, but I feel she has the PR game down.
