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!

He should resign. He is a spineless piece of trash and will do and say anything for power.

He is such a loser, no wonder Trump picked him as VP. They smell their own.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or, and I know it's going to sound like a conspiracy theory, Trump picked JD because JD is so weird, and he knew that JD would tank. So when Trump drops JD it'll give him a boost, like the one the democrats got when Biden dropped out. Trump has repeatedly kept lowering people's expectations, to the point that if he somehow managed to put the round peg in the round hole, it would be a success. So imagine the boost Trump would get, for making the obvious decision to drop JD.

But that plan requires that Trump is able to play the long game, and stay quiet about it. Two things we know isn't plausible.

I'll never quit! First attempt.... I'll never leave his side! Second attempt.... Oh shit this is real! Fuck that! Yeah Haitians are nice people I shouldn't have lied! I'm sorry. I'm subjugating, quitting, resigning, whatever you want!

Oh that's it, just the two? Yeah I'm never leaving his side! Even if Haitians eat all my cats.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

He didn't create it, but he should resign anyway because he is a sack of shit.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is FAKE NEWS even though He said it! And if it's true WHO CARES Lying ISNT against the Bible!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sadly too real.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've been saying for a while now the easiest way for trump to regain the upper hand is to kill JD Vance. I hope he doesn't do it, but he killed a border security bill because he thought he'd be able to run on it. (Its a wasteful, racist bill, but for the people who accept the corporate media framing on immigration, it would have eased their concerns)

[–] MouseKeyboard@ttrpg.network 0 points 10 months ago

Do you mean kill literally or metaphorically?

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

You mean the guy who has probably actually eaten someone’s cat? Lord knows he’s eaten everything else.

“In the wake of JD Vance admitting he ‘created’ the pet-eating story, and as a result of the very real threats the communities and people he has targeted are now under … I am calling on him to RESIGN as our Senator,” Weinstein posted on Twitter/X.

Let's hope he remains on the ticket for VP, though. I'd hate for the orange bad to backfill him with someone more likable (by their standards) and have an uptick.

It would be funny to see all the campaign signs and stickers replaced.

There should be calls to toss him into a volcano and they should be getting serious traction

[–] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Careful. From all the B movies I’ve watched, I can tell that volcanoes have standards.

[–] ArugulaZ@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

After sacrificing JD Vance to a volcano, the gods showed their displeasure by giving mankind seven years of plague and pestilence.

[–] TheEhHole@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Still better than having JD Vance running around.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Ah yes, and they can replace him with a real politician: RFK jr.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What a fucking distended asshole.
