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!

TACO

Trump Always Chickens Out

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I like to imagine he doesn't know what TACO means.

He just knows Tacos are Mexican food and fucking HATES being associated with something Mexican.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

That's why he styles his hair that way!

He did the tariffs so his people could make money on the markets. I don't think he realized how much it would crater the economy. Saudi Arabia saying we're hot probably meant that we're too hot to touch or something like that. The chickening out question isn't really that much of a question. Ask how much money his people made on his tariffs even though it's costing the American people jobs and money.

He did the tariffs because it is the only thing #he can do. Congress should be addressing these matters not POTUS not that this is an actual problem

“I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from the 145 percent that I said, down to 100, and then down to another number, and I said: ‘You have to open up your whole country?

He's the reason they were up so high in the first place! What a fucking clown.

Incoherent babbling. It's like listening to a drunk.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I've known many more articulate drunks

"Did you read what trump said??" No. I never subscribed to aneurysm posting for a reason.

[–] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

At this point I would welcome an aneurysm.

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 16 points 4 days ago

But Biden's mental state though!

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago

This is how to get him, with demeaning terms, cause his thin skin can't take it.

Wow, fuck that website to death. Video starts playing at full volume and you can't pause it or change the volume before addressing their subscription pop-up. Literally go fuck yourself dailybeast.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does this make him the useful idiot or the demented guy constantly crying wolf?

It's weird that in this timeline, Biff is the one that is triggered by the word "chicken".
