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!

I see he's tried all caps, next it'll be bold underlined and blinking text. It doesnt even matter what words you use with Maga, just the tone of voice and the volume.

DONALD ORANGE TURD I DEMAND YOU STEP DOWN AS PRESIDENT AND LET US CLEAN UP THE MESS YOU MADE. SINCERELY MR KEKZKRIEGER FIRST OF HIS NAME, DEFENDER OF COOKIES SLAYER OF MILK

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He really thinks he can just say shit online and have it happen because he demands it. If it worked that way, the world would have already been a smoldering ruin 10 minutes after the first Usenet board went up.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Didn’t they bring the planes back?

Like I hate the guy, but not really seen a president call out Israel like he did and dropping an F bomb.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

He didn't call them out he's upset they're making him look weak and throwing a tantrum.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

DOES HE THINK THE INTERNET IS A TELEGRAPH STOP IT IS NOT A TELEGRAPH IT IS A SERIES OF TUBES EXCLAMATION STOP

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 31 points 12 hours ago

International diplomacy via social media in public. What a world.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So bombing Palestinian children is okay but he draws the line at Iran?

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Iran is supported by Russia.

Did he add a "hereby" to his demand?

I didn’t say it, I declared it.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

At least he spelled his own name right this time

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's the most baffling part. I never had a high opinion of the general populations intelligence. But you got to be a goddamn moron to be impressed by the current president. It's not hyperbole to say I've lost all faith and humanity.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yep. So many people flying their stupid Taco flags and wearing their "Let's Go Brandon" shirts and so on just seemingly have no idea how normal people view Taco.

To me, it's like watching the stupidest kid in the class with his underwear on his head and smearing feces on the wall. And I'm hardly alone in that view - Taco is and always has been a ridiculous and unserious dumbass. And these people think he's not only the best Republican candidate for office, they think he's the best they've ever had.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

wait what they're flying taco flags? ^is^ ^nothing^ ^sacred^ ^don't^ ^answer^ ^that^

(*) Donakd J. Trump.

Or, if you go by his Press Secretary...

President Chump.

She keeps saying Trump as Chump, in official press conferences.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Donald Chump has a nice ring to it

Woah is truth social not an effective way to conduct international relations or something? damn. I guess he'd better try Facebook

"I HAVE SPOKEN!"

"Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?"

"GODDAMIT, I SAID I'VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE'S MY NAME!"

The Art of the Deal, indeed.

Cartman has internal consistency and the ability to finish a thought.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 54 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I think he signed this one just to prove that he can spell his own name right.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

MAJOR VIOLATION

He's forgetting who he works for again.

Good. Make sure he makes all the enemies he can.

I guess truth social is now an "official channel" for international diplomacy. What a brave new world we live in

Oh wait, do you mean he is finally starting to realize Israel is (In this case) the bad guy in the dispute?

PS Yes, yes, yes, I know, Iran isn't "the good guy" in most respects, I mean in the case of this war.

This dumb fuck really though he could bomb Iran and it would bring peace to the middle east, you just gave Israel the ball and they're gonna run with it.

He needs to go chill in a bunker.

Baby’s first diplomatic relations.

And boy is it a magnificent debacle.

Trump is at least consistent - fuck things up, then pause the fuckup to pat himself on his back and demand praise for not fucking things up even more. Then once the news cycle progresses, continue fucking things up even worse. He’s such a master of this fail technique!

[–] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 52 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I'm going to count to 3, and I want everyone to do a ceasefire! 1. 2. 2 and a half. 2 and three quarters. I mean it!
