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!

People are saying Donald is going to drop out now, too, and he’ll claim he demonstrates unity even better than Biden.

dropping out for the good of the country takes character. not a Biden fan, but, as a human, Biden has more character in his fingernail clippings than Trump in his whole being...he simply wouldn't be able to it.

Since so much of Trump's rationale is to get into a position where he's out of legal jeopardy, U'm amazed nobody's tried the plea deal switcharoo: end your candidacy and we'll give you immunity. Come November 6th, the judge throws out the deal. I'm pretty sure there's been at least one Law & Order doing that, although the President was played by a guest star in an orange wig.

Why should he? His Supreme Court is prioritizing hearing, and knocking down cases against him faster than they can be brought. He'll just keep appealing everything until it's before the SP, where it'll get thrown out.

Why should he plea bargain?

My money is on Biden's health has taken a nosedive. Or he's already dead. Nothing from the WH, WH press secretary didn't hold a press conference today.

His health could have gotten worse, or he finally decided that it just wasnt gonna work out and he should rather quit while winning (and also increasing his parties chance of winning).

Him being dead is just absurd, that would have been reported on instantly.
