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!

When the draft is restored, they'll do it by Zip Code. Urban and poorer suburban kids go first.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Democrats will be prioritized for sacrifice.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Chuck Schumer will call for unity.

Booker will continue to be the performative temu “progressive” without actually doing anything progressive

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago

So the people who hate Trump the most get military training and combat experience. That could end the same way it did for Salazar.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Fuck him and everything about him. He can't drop dead from a heart attack soon enough.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He'll stroke out on the toilet while honking out a dirt snake

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

You think that windbag makes solid shits!? My head cannon is a Bristol 6 at best

A heart attack or any other kind of attack, tbf.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He called Netanyahu "Bibi" in an official address? Jesus christ.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

They absolutely planned this out during his illegal meeting with "Bibi" last year. Nobody did anything when he violated the Logan Act last July, when the orange asshole literally said "Looking forward to achieving peace in the middle east." Nobody did shit about it then, and now we're going to war...

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This is the part of the address that bothers you? Lol

[–] PieFedid10t@piefed.social 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why? Little late to say sorry. Is anything that is said going to change anything? Welcome to your 1984. Enjoy

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

To make the case for martial law.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Did it look like Vance was actually disturbed by this? He looked off more than usual.

He made his bed, but I wonder if he's having regrets

[–] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 29 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Everyone who gets involved with the Donvict will have regrets. It's always a matter of when, not if.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This is true, but I'm particularly interested in Vance's opinions right now. He's next in line if the geriatric bastard ever kicks the bucket.

If he dumps the MAGA grift that would be good news in the long run. I don't expect him to, but at this point it would be nice

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Peter's puppet will do whatever Peter prescribes. Expecting corporal Bowman to ever do the right thing for the right reason would be a grave mistake.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Obviously he won't do the right thing as Peter's puppet. But he has a very good chance of becoming Peter.

I'm only bringing it up because of how he looked on this talk. Man looked like he was gonna throw up, but that's all speculation

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Peter is Peter Thiel, not Trump. He will still be Peter’s puppet if Trump dies.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

That does make more sense. I thought this was just a weird saying I'd never heard before

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Why would he? It's all he has.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 1 week ago

That when? When the Trump sycophants are being are thrown unde the bus by Trump. They all have the same thought "I was a different!" when the Trump dumps them.

America isn't even on his list

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 week ago

Just rich, white Americans.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oh please. Bad enough he did it now we gotta listen to him rant about it? And whatever 27 other subjects he drags into it? It's all lies anyway.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

The address:

"Nobody's going to stop me."

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

Trump to Tell a Bunch of Lies Again. Ftfy.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Trump gets to channel Alfonse Capone again. C'mon Don, walk and talk like a mob boss some more.

[–] 0000011110110111i@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

The address: “I’m waiting for Netanyahu to tell me when to strike next”.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump to undress the nation over Iran Strikes? Who's this Iran? Is he gonna do us while we're undressed? Where are our clothes going to go? When can we get our clothes back? Do we have to go to work undressed? I need clarification soon cuz I gotta go to work. I can still see my clothes. Wait, is this a club thing? Is there an STD check before joining? Its mostly men isn't it?
