Nah, didn't you hear? This is all Biden's fault, actually.

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.

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!

Well I'm not going to vote for Biden after that "garbage" comment he made. Such violent rhetoric.
Not only him, but I'm not voting for Hunter, either!
How dare he!
I find it fascinating that the one of the most consistent groups that I hear about playing hardball with Trump is a conservative group - The Lincoln Project. Like, do we not have any sort of "we play dirty" liberal groups that dig up shit like this to show Trump's hypocrisy? The Lincoln Project is buying billboards, they are all over the news week after week? We need a liberal party with that same sort of girthy, 12" dick swinging energy.
Keep in mind that the Lincoln Project are not your friends. They may be temporary allies, but only because the enemy of our enemy is an ally. If Trump loses, get used to them getting back to their same Republican bullshit.
Half of me believes the Lincoln Projects only goal is to keep Trump's name in the media. Bad media is better than no media. Much the way Colonel Parker, as Elvis's manager, sold both I love Elvis and I hate Elvis merchandise.
Everyone else is doing that simply by re-broadcasting all of the horrible things he says. The Lincoln Project, at least, is highly critical of him.
The goal of the Lincoln Project is to give Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson "generational wealth"
Bad media is good media to his supporters.
see my comment above
tribalism is a bitch to beat, especially from the inside....love these guys but want to be their opposition....
It's the Eric Cartman party. They've been saying things like this for years and a single taste of their own medicine (from an old man who probably didn't mean to give it) and I hear Cartman falling on the ground crying.
Trump supporters should not be hauling garbage.
They should be hauled off AS garbage.
Watch it, Koloth, or Trumpy will punch you right in the kisser!
He definitely got that garbage truck all gussied up quick...
You know, he was at a church close to my neighborhood (in suburban Atlanta) earlier this week. That church looked just fine. It was painted a tan color with some darker accent color. About 2 weeks ago it was painted stark white.
Interesting.
So the timeline is:
- To all the people around Harris: "They are absolute garbage"
- Let's also call Puerto Rico an "island of garbage"
- We are too dumb to understand basic grammar, in response to the rhetoric in point 2. being called garbage
- Let's near enough keel over trying to reach the door handle of a garbage truck
Yep, that's the Republican Party.
The conservative pearls will remained clutched.
It’s sickly funny in a way that the 268-270 SunBelt RustBelt scenario is probably the most likely Harris win scenario(it’s what the polls are predicting). Had a couple local politicians in Nebraska 2 months ago made a different choice and changed to Winner Take All that would be a 269-269 tie leading to a Trump win.
Maga sees themselves as both normal and better than everyone. The double standard is all they want and care about. Its why they fake outrage at "garbage" but cry like weenies when called "weird" and "creepy"
Newsweek - News Source Context (Click to view Full Report)
Information for Newsweek:
Wiki: reliable - There is consensus that articles from Newsweek pre-2013 are generally reliable for news covered during that time. In 2011, Newsweek was a reputable magazine with only some minor problems while it was owned by The Newsweek Daily Beast Company (which also owned The Daily Beast). Blogs under Newsweek, including The Gaggle, should be handled with the WP:NEWSBLOG policy. See also: Newsweek (2013–present).
Wiki: mixed - Unlike articles before 2013, Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable. From 2013 to 2018, Newsweek was owned and operated by IBT Media, the parent company of International Business Times. IBT Media introduced a number of bad practices to the once reputable magazine and mainly focused on clickbait headlines over quality journalism. Its current relationship with IBT Media is unclear, and Newsweek's quality has not returned to its status prior to the 2013 purchase. Many editors have noted that there are several exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis. In addition, as of April 2024, Newsweek has disclosed that they make use of AI assistance to write articles. See also: Newsweek (pre-2013).
