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!

Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter

I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf

President Barack Obama’s vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars — unbelievable!

@BarackObama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic.

PresObama is not busy talking to Congress about Syria..he is playing golf ...go figure

Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf!

To be fair, Obama plays a better round of golf than Trump.

Obama: Handicap: “An honest 13.”

Trump: Handicap: “A dishonest 3.”

The more he golfs the less he fucks up

Problem is, I assume Miller is still working... Need him to take vacations. Can't imagine he had hobbies or interests though. Maybe hanging out in landfills?

Bets that his dementia doctors are stationed there.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Yep. Time for his monthly injections!

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit that guy "works" hard

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Give him a break, he probably can't remember the other 9 visits due to the mushy brain thing that's going on.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Every day is exactly the same!

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago

So exhausting, he needed to take a day off

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

A ton of golf from him.

Between this, the recent truth.Social tirades, and the sudden spike in Tim Walz headlines it feels like confirmation that he's legit crashing out over Epstein.

Enjoy your golf, shitstain

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Enjoy your golf, shitstain

Actually I hope he doesn't, he doesn't deserve any joy at all.

The more time he's not busy being a dictator, the better.
