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.

Two vocal Trump fans beat Latino homeless man
because he's Latino.
Trump's response is, well, what you'd expect:
In his defense, he said that just after saying that "it's a shame" if his anti-Latino rhetoric inspired this nasty crime. But it's a pretty bad thing to follow that up with.
The two brothers have long criminal histories. I'd say they're what the country doesn't need.

Cruz was born to a U.S. national with dual citizenship. I don't know Rubio's story.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"He DID sue a Spaniard chef for 10 million dollars out of something incredibly stupid. That will drag EFE's attention to him. EFE is the AFP of the spanish language, and soon as they pick up on Trump's comments regarding it, the rest ofthe spanish speaking newspapers will get right on it.
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes![]()
I think he stopped just short of explicitly endorsing it, though he did go rather far in his efforts to explain it away/mitigate it...
This keeps up and Trump is going to get people murdered. How long till one of his maniac supporters decides to "fix America" with a gun?
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Not according to National Socialists they aren't.

I know the anti-immigration movement has gotten lethal before, I was speaking about Trump (who has only gone nuts about immigration, and everything else really, since about 08 or so) in particular.

I watched my father suffer in agony while cancer ravaged his body and watched him change as soon as it hit his brain. We couldn't do anything but watch him suffer as even morphine wasn't enough.
Jimmy Carter is a good man who deserves to fall asleep and never wake up surrounded by family and in peace. Hopefully he will be able to still have this.
There is nothing wrong with hoping that good people have a painless death.
