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!

Did somebody lock Biden in the hyperbolic time chamber after betrayimg him?

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 1 points 4 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


President Joe Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats, including some of the party’s top leaders, have left him hung out to dry as he faces the biggest crisis of his political career, according to two sources familiar with his thinking.

On Thursday night, Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, one of the party’s most vulnerable members seeking re-election, became the second senator and 22nd Democrat in Congress to call on Biden to exit the race.

Though scattered across the country during congressional recess, Democrats are coalescing around the idea that it’s not a matter of if Joe Biden steps down as their nominee, but when, according to multiple sources who’ve shared the sentiment.

Progressives are successfully seizing the moment to push Biden to embrace some of their policy ideas — like expanding Social Security, nixing medical debt and slapping term limits and ethics rules on the Supreme Court.

The series of leaks Wednesday night about Biden’s private discussions with congressional leaders, as well as reporting from NBC News on Thursday afternoon that Biden-world is bracing for the possibility that he will step aside, did not go unnoticed by lawmakers — and ratcheted up an already intense situation in the party.

Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., the first senator to call for Biden’s exit from the race, said that the back and forth “has been a top of mind concern for all” Democrats he’s spoken to, and that he believes there is “significant movement toward the president making a decision to step aside.”


The original article contains 1,521 words, the summary contains 256 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Y'all are rage and anger over and with the matter and it will never do more than burn you to the ground like you are right blazingly obviously about to die...if you're lucky right now.

There's only one viable solution. Do the same to all USD and their origin to elect the Joker, Jon Stewart.

Anything else will be fascism, either side, and you need to do this very loud and do not shut up even if they arrest and prison you. That'll happen when we Fascism anyway so do it now or else. And you're all ignorant. We'll go fascism either way, doesn't matter who you elect bar THE JOKER.
