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!

Honestly the more he wastes resources on petty shit like this and the less he wastes on actually destructive things the better.

Donald Trump also demands an investigation into reports that Melania didn't actually come and his penis not the "biglyest" and not abnormal.

This is all I see anymore when I see the name Trump.

Holy fucking hell that looks just like him. Pink Floyd had him pegged 43 years ago.

Trump and the GOP want control over that information, like Putin has. They want full control of the press, and they want to turn social media sites red like they did Twitter.

I've conducted my own investigation and concluded that his polls are low because he straight up sucks.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

After extensive peer review I must conclude you are correct

You're a felon rapist traitor who is sinking our economy and destroying our international reputation.

Investigation over.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I cannot fully concur with your analysis since you omitted "asshole."

I agree that the person responsible for his poor ratings should be investigated for many crimes. He and I would probably disagree over who that is though.

Shit I wish I could have access to some of these polls (to take them I mean). I feel kinda like they're a unicorn.

Why ? It is what Trump chose to do that caused it to happen.
