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!

President Biden poked fun at former President Trump for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf club’s awards last night on Sunday.

“Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,” Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trump’s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

“It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

Wouldn't it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. One of the things Biden brings to the table is that he can take Trump seriously, while credibly calling Trump on his bullshit. Hillary didn't seem to comprehend that Trump had a serious political following at all.

Biden has had a richer set of life experiences, and I think he understands how Trump has appeal to some voters who are in hard times right now. And Biden seems to enjoy the fight a bit more. He's not afraid to get down to Trump's level and throw some punches himself. And Biden's punches land.

Can you really see anyone other Candidate calling Trump out on shit like this, without having it sound like whining? Yes, Biden is not directly maintaining this account, but it's run on his behalf, and it's message is directly tied to the candidate. Could you really see Dean Phillips pulling this off? Or Kamala Harris?
