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!

The people who keep pushing him out on stage every night need to realize that their golden goose is cooked.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

Those people need to be compassionate, get him out of the public spotlight, and help him retire in a way where he can live out his days in a space where his decreasing lucidity can be properly managed and cared for. He's a frail, confused old man and the sooner his handlers accept that, the better off we all have a chance to be.

*edit: prison is an acceptable place for this as far as I'm concerned, to be clear

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

NAH, fuck that. The fucker deserves to die miserable in jail.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Eh if they accelerate him croaking by parading him around ill take it. Not as sweet as prison nor as funny as the Mussolini special but acceptable. I have no sympathy for fascists no matter how decrepit.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we’ll Gadaffi him

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I, on the other hand, hope he suffers :D

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well first, his cronies DGAF about him, he's just a stepping stone for their own gain. Second, I really doubt Bonespurs will ever face tangible consequences for his whole destructive existence. He'll continue to delay, delay, delay, have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever. On the plus side, the scrambling rats clawing each other apart to fill the giant void should keep the GOP in chaos for years.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure the Republicans who keep getting really close to him at really last min situations and almost assassinate him have something to do with this...

I mean… I hope they don’t. He comes off crazier and weirder with every single appearance at this point.

Maybe they're doing it on purpose. I can't imagine a single one of them actually likes Trump as a person.

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago

Every time Trump speaks, I can feel some of my brain cells committing suicide. No wonder his cult members are so stupid.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 weeks ago

He'd have a better chance of getting more votes if he just stopped doing or saying anything at this point

But keep sending him to the mic, it's doing the world a service to see how stupid all this is.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

The Onion just quit.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

Conservatives love this kind of nonsense. They are just thrilled to be at a Trump Rally. He could shit on stage and eat it and they would still cheer and then belch about how Kuh-MOLL-uh is a Hamas operative who is too black and female to be president.

Fuck conservatives. The only people that can see what a valueless piece of shit Trump is are the normal (non-conservative) people. Conservatives are the people Trump accurately represents.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Obsessed about another man's junk? Sounds kinda gay donald

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ironically, him actually turning out to be gay and coming out as such might be one of the few things that could stand a chance at getting his core followers to turn on him

[–] Daze@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

named after the golfer I believe

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm sure he did lots of things, Perry, the guy's a drink mongul!

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They put a picture of Arnold Palmer, the golfer, on the can

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's a can?

[–] gargamel@leminal.space 15 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is far too interested in bragging about ANOTHER man's dick here. Does he think there is dick transference in this story? Does he get dick bragging rights second hand or something? What a fucking weirdo.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

The Orange Turd being as weird as hell as always.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What’s it called when you are smug that you didn’t eat the onion? Then you realise ….

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

That’s eating the leek

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

"Hey guys from Latrobe. I used to know a guy from here. He had a huge dick. Be proud guys."

Cheney loves him not.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes carrying on the illustrious tradition of presidents commenting on famous people's genitals. I think it was Jefferson who liked to start speeches with the classic "Did you guys see the sausage roll Washington is packing?"

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Sound byte starts at 48:20 for those who want to verify.

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I love that this is a headline by (checks notes)... AP and PBS. During the most critical point in the election.

Trump's addled brain continues to spiral, obviously exhausted, wildly deranged, incapable of focus or discipline. "Elder abuse" some would question. "Weekend at Bernie's" others would observe, noting the billionaires behind him, desperately hemorrhaging cash to prop him up.

And yet, almost one hundred million Americans will still vote for him. What a magical time to be alive.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

What better way to tackle a crucial swing state as we near the finish line. He's turned into Kamala's best promoter. I'm loving this!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I heard that trump loves to be fisted. That he wants Arnold Palmer in, elbow deep.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It was hilarious to watch, the way he said "O my god?!" was gold. CertifiedFreak.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

None of this is a surprise. Just more of the same.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I thought the October surprise was when Trump unmasked the dastardly conspiracy by Kamala, to eliminate every cow in the country.

💣🐮

[–] M600@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Are there any good quotes? I’d love to make a poster of Trump talking about someone’s penis.
