The General US Politics Thread

Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Obama should be better, but he isn't, because he's a politician.

At some point, we're going to have drones flying over our clouds, performing surveillance on us and shooting us down like they do with the Pakistanis.

I wouldn't be surprised if Obama has Bin Laden's head stuffed and mounted on his wall in the White House.

hey bob, you think we could get at least one question regarding Pakistan before this debate is over

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!
