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!

This needs an update then
These people should be glad they have no feelings of shame or embarrassment. It's the only way I can imagine they manage to live day to day.
What's hilarious is that she is delivering this speech like it's a rally. It's a fucking dinner, everyone's busy eating. Tone it down and read the room
If I ever happen to be at dinner and someone is yammering on, and then says “please clap”, I’m standing up and loudly saying
no
Do it with your mouth full!
If she wanted to be more popular, maybe she shouldn’t hog all the coke
Just to add some context from memory. Jeb was doing an event to rally his supporters but everyone was so hyped up they kept interrupting him during his speech. He politely asked them to save the clapping till the end. When he finally finished no one reacted so he had to tell them to clap.
That's some really neat context. I wasn't overly concerned with Jeb at the time, since I had no interest in any of the R candidates, but the 'please clap :(' sure did the rounds.
I can see now, though, that Kamala Harris was certainly aware and trying to not hit the same landmine during the DNC. Watching her try to politely tell the crowd to shut up for what felt like an hour got quite painful.
Crowds: You need to let your speakers speak!
Don’t you mean Jeb!
Doesn't she have enough clap already?
burn!
That's some real JEB! energy right there.
🤣
This thumbnail looks like it’s from an episode of the original V miniseries.
Waiting for the skin to peel and reveal the real lizard beneath.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
“Good job Kibberlay”
—coked up Don Jr.
Evil villain Kim Gothica forces audience to have the clap.
KIM!
fake people doing fake shit
Newsome took her seriously enough to date, but doesn't take homelessness seriously.
How long does it take to plan a fucking wedding? Hasn't she been Junior's fiancée for ages?
Of the many things to call out, this is pretty bottom.
Call her out on how even Fox News fired her for sexual harassment. Call her out on her low energy/limited charisma speeches. Call her out on how she gets to watch her ex-husband Gavin Newsom continue to get the press while Donny Jr can't get his dad to recognize him.
But point out their wedding planning timeline? Bruh that's weird.
Can't save for a wedding when you're blowing all your money.
Are we sure this isn't a Tim and Eric bit?
