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

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!

Probably nothing worth really reporting on I bet. They know better than to put their incriminating shit in an email.
That assumes some level of competence. That is not a bet I would take.

This post is what I was thinking of.
I'm familiar. But I don't think that Trump's campaign is particularly competent or well managed. The Heritage Foundation is another matter. If Trump was well managed, he wouldn't have Vance as a VP nominee, given that Vance was (is) underwater in his own state.
No, I think it’s the opposite…..
Which part of trumps agenda is hidden? I mean he puts it ALL on display and his supporters don’t give a fuck.
I would bet that there’s nothing there because everyone already knows, and people have already decided whether they give a shit or not
Trump's popularity decline appears to have coincided in part with awareness of Project 2025. A small number of low-information voters may have liked Trump, but not really paid attention to what he stands for, and are now seeing it. So to that end, making everything public might help move even more voters.
In all seriousness, I've worked with people that supported Trump and genuinely had no idea where he stood on a lot of things. Like, I worked with a black man that genuinely believed that Trump was the least-racist president ever.
I just visited Graceland, the number of black folks that wanted to vote for trump was terrifying.
They had some really valid complaints about the Democrats, but they had no idea of what trump was, they just knew that the democrats weren’t solving their problems.
And I agree - there are a lot of valid problems with Dems. But it all gets so much worse with Republicans.
I don't like voting for the lesser of two evils, but the only practical way out of this mess is to work at the grass-roots level to get better candidates.
Was there any incriminating shit in Hillary's mails?
Yeah, which is exact why Trump sent her to prison as he promised!
Actually, the DNC email hack was pretty back for democrats. Not cause of anything incriminating, but for proving to the Bernie fans that the DNC really was working against him. This led to many of them not voting, boycott voting, or switching to Trump’s side.
