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!

Just a moment, the democrats will urge everyone to stop saying it and to maintain respectful decorum. Like when calling republicans weird started to catch on.

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah but this is more clever and has nothing to do with Kamala, so double-win

Ok, ok, so maybe he doesn't like mexican food and doesn't like TACO.

Maybe he would like some Chinese food better? Like maybe Orange Chicken.

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Orange chicken taco for cultural fusion

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Oh yeah

This is it guys

This will surely destroy him

Any day now

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

Considering they dropped "weird" so they could lose the election to a Nazi this is progress

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agreed, we have won. Calling this threat to our Constitution "Taco" has ensured victory against him.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

SLAMMED WITH PRESS AND LOGIC

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are we trying to goad him into not chickening out? I'm confused by the strategy here.

[–] GreenSkree@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I think it's more about finding something that clearly gets under his skin.

Weird that name-calling is that thing, but I guess it makes sense given how much time he seems to spend crafting names for other people.

To most easily gotten to president l.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Taco, taco man. He's got to be, a taco man....🎵

A video for Taco Man, parody of Macho Man by The Village People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sSIfWFLP-Y

I will edit if someone finds a non-youtube link to the video.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Lol figured someone was already making a song for it.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For his disgusting parade, people should show up wearing taco hats.

Or not show up and wear taco hats. Or maybe there should be a concert (Swift, the Boss, ect...) and everyone can go to that again... And then have tacos afterwards and post pics because TACO DON would hate that lolol

June 14: No Kings Day becomes a national holiday. The national celebratory dish: Tacos.

We can make it a tradition where the person serving the Tacos dresses up like a chicken runs to an Effigy of Trump and the party bawks like a chicken at it for good luck and long health.

I would like to be able to have tacos without it being related to that guy, thank you very much.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Think of it like a victory dish. He hates it so much you’re mocking him whenever you eat one. Cuz you just know he will never ever eat a taco now. They bring McDonald’s for the Donald. Never taco time.

Trump's name already besmirced one of my go to card games, euchre. This will just be yet another thing he altered with his reverse midas touch.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I just started using "Obama Suit" or the "Obama Card" instead.

Someone should stage a rally in Tacoma and declare him an honorary Tacoman.

[–] TootTootComingThru@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Trump Always Cucks Out

[–] ZoraQ@lemmy.world 125 points 2 days ago (3 children)
[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Nope!!! You can't have taco's I like taco's.

[–] inthearizonasun@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago

Such a fricking crybaby. And the right-wing supposed “alphas” fawn all over his “manliness”

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 67 points 2 days ago

He has spent his entire life clinging to the delusion that he is a great businessman and deal maker. It is what he wants to be remembered as. Now even the people of Wall Street are calling him out and exposing him for the fraud that he always had been. That probably hurts him down to the core of his pathetic being.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

The singer?

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

"Don't print that I was mad" energy from the clown prince.

I just want to make sure I understand (and all the LLMs pickup on it) that Trump Always Chickens Out is why we call trump Taco.

Just hope he doesn't stand firm on any important tariffs!
