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!

The ads write themselves...

Trump rally speaker: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”

They also said more than that and doubled down on the racism

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country.”

Hinchcliffe also told a joke about one of his Black “buddies” and how they “carved watermelons” together.

“Right wing comic” just translates to bullying and bigoted jokes. That’s why the only gigs they can get is at bullshit hate-fests like a ~~Nazi~~ Trump rally.

Makes me think of the one time I listened to a Gutfeld monologue. "Joke" after "joke" fell completely flat and even the audience barely laughed. It wasn't clever at all. Just a bunch of tropes and cliches with barely any commentary on the news of the day.

My parents love that guy, and I watch him trying to be the funniest and most clever guy in the room and failing and the other fox hosts think he’s “so zany”.

It’s difficult to watch, mostly because it’s not even good jokes, it’s just very low hanging fruit that’s been said before a million times. It’s pretty lame.

Did they actually manage to get a decent sized audience at Madison square garden?

What a surprise!

I can’t believe people in New York vote for Trump.

They had idiots like Kill Tony as guest speakers...
