Curiously the :smug: centrist crew that normally dominates the Trump thread has been pretty quiet lately. I chalk this up to a combination of their ideology failing so bad lately that even they are hard-pressed to defend it in conjunction with the moderators no longer coddling them. (Its funny* how quickly their courage dries up when they know that simply braying like spoiled yt's demanding to see the manager won't automatically get them their way.)

*pathetic

On a side note the Centrist crew better loving pray that Manchin wins his reelection. Cuz if he doesn't then all those Centrist threw literally every LGBT poster under the bus and had the audacity to call us monsters for objecting to it. (Looking at you Jarnak.)

What I'm saying is if Manchin loses I'm going to rub the Centrists noses in it for as long as it takes- and I'm going to be a completely remorseless bitch about it too.

Manchin seems pretty safe at this point compared to almost every other incumbent dem senator at the moment. Reality is a sick gently caress.

Jarmak is a shy Republican, he's a Democrat now because Trump, but just before all this nonsense started you could usually find him defending cop murders of unarmed black people, defending anyone murdering unarmed poor people, and his main complaint with the US justice system is that hate crime legislation deals too severely with murderers of LGBT folks.

Manchin is like his ideal politician, votes to repress minorities and uphold sexmonsters while being deeply concerned about rude tweets.

yt has a specific and very negative connotation. I'm using it to describe comfortable white people who cannot see past their own privilege- and further have the arrogance to demand that minorities should make their decisions according to the desires of yt's.

I don't understand what relevance "racist shitheads continue to be racist shitheads" has to American politics, like I understand why people might consider that news, but I think "US current events" and "US politics" has got to be different things.

PPJ and I are still deciding what should happen, but essentially what is likely is that after the midterms either we will make a fresh USPOL thread or something more significant may change, depending on what we decide. I left this thread open because it serves a slightly different purpose, although it's possible we might refresh this one as well.
Just merge them all together and make a reversal of fortune rule for reports IMO :colbert: and I say this as someone who will definitely catch a probation or several because of that rule.

Call it USPOL TRUMPERDOME: "Bad Posts" Containment Zone and reverse sticky it.

I honestly don’t think that was the most significant US news day in years. Maybe weeks or this month. It was a tragic day and certainly had some attention worthy headlines, but significant?

What did it really change?
