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!

Have 'em leave Ukraine, give back Crimea and pay 200% reparations, then we'll talk.

Oh you rational people are such a hoot! No, no ol’ special agent bankrupt Krasnov is being watched very, very (I mean very) closely by the GRU and they’ll be sure he only submits the, shall we say, “proper” documentation.

Of course they can’t control every gibbering slur he farts out from his mouth when he’s in front of a microphone but - they’re pretty sure he’s not going to accidentally not do Pooty-poots bidding.

He's not bankrupt anymore, he makes millions of dollars selling crypto, cell phones, and bibles.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Well, they’ll be the ones to decide that, now won't they.

As an American, it would be a really good idea to temporarily kick the US out and make it the G6. We have absolutely no business driving policy with Trump at the wheel.

We also have no business being in NATO at the moment either.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 weeks ago

As an American, also, I agree. Kick the US out of the G6 and NATO. BRICS might let the US in but Krasnov will want them to rename it to "USA and the rest" or something.

I've said often that the endgame here will be Trump making the US leave the G7, and form our own Friendship Union with Russia.

We can call it FU2....

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

But what it will really do is FUS.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Why not FUR and pronounce it as Führer.

American here:

Kick us out, make it the G6. I am 100% serious.

tramp is going to create his own T8, with blackjack and hookers: USA+Israel+Argentina+Saudi Arabia+Russia+Qatar+Hungary+El Salvador, those are his kind of people.

They'll call it a new world order without even a hint of irony.

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

That's frighteningly possible.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 24 points 4 weeks ago

Agent Krasnov has completed his mission to glorify the great leader Putin and will now return home while the summit continues.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

Is he going Howard-Hughes-y with the hair over the ears? They managed to get his lunatic facepaint under control, now his eight remaining hairs are staging a jailbreak?

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

Sorry, Donnie, Putin doesn't have any cards...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Now those “leftists” who couldn’t bear to vote Democrat at least get to watch putin be slobbered over by the US President. So that’s nice for them.

[–] AnalogNotDigital@lemmy.wtf 0 points 4 weeks ago

Bro they're so fucking pathetic. They're all over the site spreading the same exact nonsense.
