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.

Trump just said that Assad is smarter than Obama and Clinton.

What the fuck...

He's going on about "tremendous jobs" and saying how everything will be great again without actually detailing how. Somehow I'm thinking he was never the details guy in any of his companies.

@hardcoreofcakes: Didn't seem like that to me. Frankly I'm starting to think those are the only two military guys he knows about. It's pretty obvious that he hasn't bothered to actually learn anything about what's going on in Syria right now.

Tremendous jobs. Tremendous economic machine. Very sad. Very very sloppy. Big companies. Greatest negotiators in the world. Very much smarter.

In a single answer. All those words.

She should stop saying she won't raise the national debt. Just say that you'll actually be able to get it under control, unlike him, no need for hyperbole.

Most people probably don't know the difference in deficit and debt. And I'm one of them.

Honestly, the points here are Trump is obviously incompetent, and should not be president.

But I doubt we get serious change under Clinton either. Unfortunately, stagnation may be better than Trump.
