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.
- 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.
- 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!

I've never in my life wanted so bad to wake up to a news story about another person dying.
It's the only reason why I immediately check on here. I truly want Elon dead immediately and then Trump.
Yea but it ain't about the death. It's about the suffering, suffering is terrifying
Only one?
I wanna see a headline stating that a freak hurricane wiped out every Republican in the house, the Senate and the executive branch, miraculously sparing any non party members and the buildings themselves without a scratch.
About 250 could save millions of lives. Considering around 9000 die every day in the U.S. they would make a 2.7% uptick for one day, and maybe everything can get better
...all I want is a President who can assume the duties of a President. Starting to feel like a unicorn.
I just want an adult at this point. Preferably a non-ancient one but I'll take what I can get.

Fat Donnie has no idea what the duties of the US President even are. Dear Karma, one fast golf ball to the noggin would be appreciated.
When Trump dies, someone else will take over his role, and that other person is bound to be a lot smarter than Trump (it's a very low bar). At this point, it seems to me like the only thing that might stop the usa's descent into fascism, is Trump completely destroying the economy in record pace because of his unfathomable stupidity. If the usa opposition can't defeat fascism with Trump in charge of the fascists, then they have no chance with someone like Vance in charge.
The allies had the same dilemma with Hitler in WW2. They had a solid plan to assassinate Hitler and they really wanted to, but Hitler's meddling incompetence was helping them win the war.
Additionally, British officials believed that Hitler’s incompetence and flawed military tactics were, in fact, advantageous to the Allied cause. They argued that by leaving Hitler in power, the Allied forces could continue to leverage his bungling strategy against the Germans. They believed that replacing Hitler with a competent successor could pose a greater challenge, as they might be more adept at waging war against the Allies.

Smarter? Quite possibly.
But I'd say the people who are smarter are already manipulating him behind the scenes anyhow. Anyone coming after would at least have less of a cult following hopefully
While we're wishing: Lightning strike during a golf swing on a clear blue day would be a nice message
And no president can assume the duties of a judge
America is an unserious country
And no President can ignore the Courts.
