Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

No wonder ROTUS wants to return to the 1800s when rich white men could rape whoever they wanted.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung sounded off on Ocasio-Cortez in a statement to the Daily Beast.

“AOC likes to play pretend like she’s from the block, but in reality she’s just a sad, miserable blockhead who is trying to overcompensate for her lack of self-confidence that has followed her for her entire life,” he said. “Instead, she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-sized brain.”

the fact that the White House Communications Director has communication skills on par with a snotty middle schooler is really quite funny. I mean, they all do, but that the communications director sounds like this, you'd think it was an Onion article.

Steven Cheung

Looks 20 years older than his 43 years

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

He always looks like he's recovering from a bunch of bee stings.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 26 points 2 months ago

He looks like he's having an allergic reaction to life.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 months ago

Aww, look at his little chubby baby hands.

[–] xyzzy@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He looks great for his age. 43 is quite old in Shar-Pei years

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Looks alright for a Sontaran from Dr Who.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Baaaaaaaaahhahahhaa I just recently started rewatching Tennant Who and those Sontarans are hilarious

Potato in Chief.

Playing as Oddjob is considered cheating in my house and is therefore banned.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I know I SHOULDN'T have laughed at this.... yet I just couldn't fucking help it.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Man, I'm used to not believing his quotes are real, but I wasn't expecting to not believe a pic of him was real. That's really him! Guy probably hasn't seen his own penis in years.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So are you saying we could call him Steven “Can’t See Wang” Chueng?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Everybody have fun tonight ...

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Neither had anyone else, to be fair.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've honestly been convinced that doing evil melts your face like the dark side of the force

Take Caroline Levitt... She's so young, and yet in months her face has started to droop. On the other hand, you have people like Mike Johnson and JD Vance... They have the sith eyes, you just instinctively know they're inhuman

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Too generous, doubt she looks that good

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Karoline Leavitt. How dare you misspell her name like that? Ks are very important to these people - she only needs two more.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago

Fuck it, I'm just calling her Taco Belle from now on

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

bruh is not long for this world.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Can that dude see where he's going?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

He looks chromosomal.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Human sized pug.

the fact that the White House Communications Director has communication skills on par with a snotty middle schooler is really quite funny.

It’s a strategic thing too. A significant portion of voters can’t read above a fifth or sixth grade level. Politicians sound like middle schoolers because that is what appeals to their voting base.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Republicans have been targeting the fifth grade level for decades now. Trump's innovation was targeting the third grade level.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago

There’s the projection. Every fucking time.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 35 points 2 months ago

It's like the entire administration was recruited on 4chan

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

bruh, we live in an onion article.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

This onion has way too many layers. I'm lost.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

LoL PEA SIZED BRAIN this man is HILARIOUS! And it's True she CANT stop Talking about Trump who is the President of the USA at this moment in Time which is SUCH TDS SYNDROME LoL! I'm a Voting Adult!

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

you’d think it was an Onion article.

And not even like a good one.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Next week he'll claim he fucked her mom.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He’s no Toby Zeigler.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

To opposing press. Like, it's ond thing to talk that way to your own side, they'll give you the benefit of the doubt usually. But imagine if the Obama administration said such a thing about ol lyin Ted
