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!

"Embarrassing racist addled old rapist has a diaper explosion. Crowds horrified by the stench."

I can't believe this is accepted behavior now.

Also: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES PEDONALD

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 17 points 19 hours ago

It's so petty and horribly unprofessional. He never stops horrifying me

Guess his diaper can't handle the G's

every truly patriotic american should now be throwing shit onto the White House lawn

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Why are Republicans cheering this behavior on? The video wasnt well done, the message is tone deaf (a president should not be seeking to harm their own citizens) and trump is already dumping loads of shit on everyone, that's why we were out there protesting in the first place.

Don’t care which side of the political spectrum you’re on. This should not be acceptable or funny to anyone. I’m from the south and it reminds me of the kind of uncouth, trashy behavior that rednecks sit around drinking beer, barefooted, with holes in their clothes, farting and yelling at women do

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I would agree entirely but comparing him to uncouth trashy rednecks is really not fair to the uncouth trashy rednecks.

[–] eve@evecodes.com 1 points 9 hours ago

You’re right. I’m sorry uncouth trashy rednecks

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I mean I thought covefe was funny. I thought his dumbass dance was funny.

This is objectively, not funny.

[–] eve@evecodes.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Right. If we’ve learned anything these last 15 years is that people will bandwagon into anything no matter their degree of academia, intelligence or stature in society. This sets a precedent of fascists getting away with fascism by disguising it as childish “joking” behavior, to give the illusion that it’s harmless. It is everything but harmless because the pick-me’s in society will feel empowered to walk around in the real world treating people like this. The subliminal, toxic fallout from it, is what’s damaging about it. It’s so uncool

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 day ago

He's such a child and it's embarrassing how many love him for it

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago

nose out of the mask like its covid lockdown in a red state

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 161 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Oh cool. Our president lacks any form of humility or introspection.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure we already knew that. He's a piece of shit. Always has been. Always will be.

It's don fucking trump, guy has been one of the most self aggrandizing blowhards for as long as I remember hearing the name going back to the 80s.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

A campaign that began with "Owning the Libs" and triumphed on "Owning the Libs" appears to continue to fixate on "Owning the Libs" to maintain public support.

I really expected almost anything from his second term when he got elected again, but I can honestly say I did not expect him to release a video in which he outright shits on the American people.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump's been figuratively shitting on the American people for a decade. Now he posted an AI video of him literally shitting on them.

Just in case you were having doubts about what you were protesting against.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 121 points 1 day ago (6 children)

lol .... far into the future ... Americans will remember famous quotes and lines from presidents like JFK, Eisenhower ... even Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Obama

... and all anyone will remember about this idiot is just how dumb and stupid he was and how dumb and stupid America was to put him and keep him in power.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you (time to gatekeep!) actually care about history during 20th century, you will rapidly realize that hitler and his cronies were all batshit insane lunatics.

If you grew up on The History Channel you will think he was 'quirky" and spew bullshit like how Rommel was actually a very honorable man and blah blah blah.

History isn't just written by the victors. But it sure as fuck tends to be presented by the assholes who deserve a lead pipe to the face.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Weren’t hitler and co. constantly on loads of drugs too?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Nazis were pioneers of meth abuse. Allies used it a bit too, mainly for bomber pilots and others in extended combat situations where alertness was needed.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I mean... basically everyone was back then. Everyone knows the fun fact that Coca Cola used to contain cocaine. Fewer people think about the implications of that or how soda was generally sold at the pharmacy.

But yeah. nazi leadership is generally accepted to have been on WAY more drugs than most of their contemporaries.

So, we kind of need a hero at this point. He (his staff) makes shit like this and then "haha, it's just a joke" liberals do far worse.

There needs to be worse, it needs to happen. Someone's gotta throw up some AI vids of Trump prancing around with kids, JD fucking a couch, Noem blasting dogs, Johnson and his secret porn room. We've got the content, it's gotta be used. It's gotta be blasted everywhere followed with, "haha it's just a joke".

Sure South Park is taking bites, and there's the Trump/Epstein statue, but we need more. Gold has to be the focus, not these little nibbles for bronze in terms of insults. It's gotta be plastered everywhere. Time square, the Vegas globe, etc. At this point ya gotta fight back and stop this high road shit.

Thank you for choosing the way that we will desecrate your corpse when the national guard do their job.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 66 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Um. Just when I thought nothing surprises me anymore. He's also wearing a crown in that video. Way to prove that you really want nothing to do with this whole "King" business.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

He’s also wearing a crown in that video.

Perhaps this foreshadows a red-hot crown in his future?

Way to prove that you really want nothing to do with this whole “King” business.

Trump loves to brag, then deny that it's bragging.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The plane also says "King trump" on the side of it

Something that a pre-teen would think think of.

Man I hope when he kicks the bucket, his wife comes out with a bunch of dirt, and talks shit about him.🙏

If only he would release the Epstein Files with the same ease he releases his stool…

Does he realize the whole world can see him? He is humiliating the USA.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dude, yes, that’s the point. that’s his lifeblood, why he exists.

The United States “stole” his rich pedo lifestyle from him. He’s a narcissist and hellbent on revenge. Everything; everything he does is to make this country into a shithole, to turn it into a backwater dumpster fire of suffering and authoritarianism that we thought we’d all be safe from, because we “stole” his little naked child fucking time from him and he’s literally just lashing out and taking away from us what in his mind we took from him.

We need adults in charge. He should open a zoo and be the main attraction.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

The most unbelievable thing is that he could actually get into and fit in that aircraft.

While wearing a crown.
