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!

Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...

It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

He keeps repeating she has done nothing at the border but failed to answer the direct question about why he killed the border bill?

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Trump just accidentally admitted he thinks there is "some good" in Project 2025.

Ah! The phantom plan that the Democrats, who weren't in power at all, stopped it!

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Holy shit. The hit on his rallies was fantastic.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Would he veto? I guess we'll never know

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every time Trump wants to change what he said, he just pretends he said it sarcastically.

Trump and his handlers just before the debate:

Handler: Mr President... (he insists on being called that by his people) - before you go out there I want you to promise again that you won't bring up the thing about people eating cats and dogs...
Trump: yeah, fine
Handler: Remember how we talked about this? And how you promised that you won't bring it up no matter what happens?
Trump: Yeah, fine, whatever.

Trump’s Wharton professor repeatedly called him ‘the dumbest goddamn student I ever had’.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Woo. He CAN hear Kamala laughing her ass off

Not happy that the cop laughed that hard at being accused of supporting defunding the police but the bar is low.

[–] chicagohuman@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

Normal energy plants are normal

[–] Rustywhims@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Oh for the love of God, stop letting this guy ramble.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Oh shit he's running with it! The eating cats!

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Trump is clearly starting to get rattled. He's going off the rails.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (3 children)

She needs to stay on target.

He brings up the border?

She brings up the fact that he killed the strongest border bill the US has ever had because "it would make Biden look good."

He brings up the cost of things?

His tariffs will raise prices by at least 10% across the board.

He brings up she's soft on crime.

She can bring up that he literally is crime incarnate.

It seems we know the answer to ‘will it be happy trump or angry trump?’ Angry. Very angry.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Anyone else having a sinking feeling about this? Feels like a lot is riding on it.

She's definitely going to get the chance to question if Trump knows what a tariff is.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wish someone would ask Trump what a tariff is and how China pays it. They just let him get away with it.
