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!

Yeah she needed to win Virginia for this to have any real meaning.

She has no events scheduled after today.

I still thin she should stay in, just in case, just to be annoying.

Trump has to be less than 1000 big macs from a massive heart attack. She should stay in the race as the contingency candidate.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think a lack of blood flow to trump's brain would meaningfully affect his outward appearance and behavior.

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah, but Trump probably hates Sanders enough to explicitly forbid a weekend at Bernie's arrangement. Even though that logic doesn't make any sense, that doesn't preclude it as a possibility.

Plus we know from Giuliani that warm temperatures makes the makeup start to drip. Masking a corpse until November would take too much coordination to be a successful undertaking for the Trump campaign.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

So like 3 weeks or what?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I haven't checked, did they make the new McBurgers better or just cheaper production cost?

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Until he declares RFK his running mate or some shit, and the next day he becomes the GOP frontrunner.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

🎶we need you, Nikki, right nooowwwww 🎶

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 52 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Nikki and Donald should have a bicycle race for 1/4 mile to declare the winner.

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 13 points 8 months ago

It would be a death too good for Trump, but I'll allow it.

BUT NO STAND-INS!

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

You know trump would use an electric bike

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

If it’s all downhill and Donnie can keep the wheels straight, he might win cause of gravity.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If she really wants to get under Trump's skin, she should set her campaign slogan to, "I'm with Her."

[–] Ekybio@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Tactical misgendering?

A bold move, lets see how it plays out.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 43 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hahah, I'm glad she is bothering people I don't like

You only feel that way because you aren't trying, don't believe it.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So if Trump wins, he will probably sell Vermont back to Russia, or something

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

Nah, Trump will claim he won Vermont no matter what.

[–] snf@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Canada here, how much for just Stowe?

[–] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Knowing Stowe, way too much.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 20 points 8 months ago

Oh wow that's a suprise.

[–] IgnatiusJReilly@lemmy.wtf 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought the GOP was united behind you Donny?

[–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

And she’s literally already dropped out.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ambassador Nikki Haley has won the Republican presidential primary in Vermont, NBC News projects — her first Super Tuesday win amid a deluge of other state calls for former President Donald Trump.

Despite the narrow Haley victory in Vermont, Trump is expanding his national delegate lead with wins in other Super Tuesday contests.

In a memo ahead of the Jan. 23 New Hampshire primary, the Haley campaign wrote that “there is significant fertile ground for Nikki” on Super Tuesday due to those rules.

Of the 874 delegates available on Super Tuesday, roughly two thirds are in states with open or semi-open primaries,” the memo added.

At that event, Haley told the crowd, “I’m going to keep on fighting,” because, “70% of Americans say they don’t want Donald Trump or Joe Biden.”

But by the time NBC News projected Haley’s win in Vermont Tuesday night, Trump had already won 11 other states and built on his delegate lead.


The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

But by the time NBC News projected Haley’s win in Vermont Tuesday night, Trump had already won 11 other states and built on his delegate lead.

Could have just done the headline and this. The rest is pretty much just filler.

I mean, I detest Trump as much as the next sane guy, but let's not kid ourselves..
