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!

But they don't say you can't draw a little Hitler moustache on his picture.

God what a bunch of sensitive pussies

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 78 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

TBF the real pussy here is the megalomaniac who decided that his ugly mug needs to be everywhere, even before he dies. Not the staff - they're just being anal bureaucrats as is tradition in such jobs.

The '26 pass (yes it's that ugly)0

The '25 pass

You just know that at some point Trump asked “Does that other guy have to be on there too?”

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we're still in the "compare myself with great leaders" phase - but moving real fast toward the "a Trump portrait in every public space" phase.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Then I’ll enter my ‘carry lots of black paint and a means to propel it’ phase.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Absolutely pathetic.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Oh my dog, thats worse than I thought by a lot

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Such a welcoming picture for...checks notes....a pass to our parks.

What if people start giving him a little Hitler 'stache? Will the quivering little bitch issue a decree about that, too?

I'd just take a knife to it and claim it got damaged, assuming all the info is still good of course. If they try to get me a new one I'll do it yet again.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Coworker of mine just bought one. The ranger handed it to them face down on the desk. Lol.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Listen, if he didn't want the most universally beloved branch of the government to hate him he should've noticed that they're all environmentalists and that it's the gayest branch of the government before establishing his policies that piss both groups off

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The most openly gay. I’d argue that the house and senate are probably filled with closeted gays at a similar rate. Hard to know for sure.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Actually likely no. Being LGBT is a potential cause to decline a security clearance.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Grindr servers always seem to crash during Republican gatherings. 🤔

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Just put the Epstein files all over your vehicle and they won't even see you go into the park.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It will be left to the discretion of park service officials to determine whether a pass has been "defaced" or not.

I have a feeling there’s some very disgruntled park staff who are over this shit and can’t be paid enough to care.

[–] bestagon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I actually heard about the new passes and defacement policy a few nights ago from friends of mine in the parks and they’ve already said they don’t give a shit

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Right? If it scans it scans

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

His photo is on the pass?! Dude is psychologically insecure.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Amongst much worse conditions, yeah

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These absolute morons want to do everything BUT make America great... United States has some of the world's best national parks... they gotta ruin it with this idiots face on of passes, and then this idiot ruins tourism by being a fucking idiot, then the idiot is considering selling off some land for his international criminal buddies. Everything circles back negatively to this fucking idiot. Way to be, America, the literal Anti-Christ running the show. Sums it up perfectly.

Jesus’s that’s tacky. 

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems like a first amendment violation to me. Hope this will be litigated.

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

What a time to be ~~alive~~ a lawyer...

What the actual fuck is wrong with these ass kissing, brown nosing sycophants that just do everything possible to play into and boost Trump's ego. For the love of god, just suck his fucking dick already. You look hungry as hell. Gobble some Trump nuts and stop pretending like everyone else is weird for not craving the taste.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you are in the market for a pass, do not let this pettiness dissuade you. I think this is by design to show lower attendance.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Cover the photo and if they call you on it pull out the fucking receipt.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't be pulling out the fucking receipt... that's something that only epstein had.

Biggest fucking manbaby, ever.

Can they just draw a narrow moustache on him?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

0

Not quite his color but it suits him well nevertheless.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

lol, they credit the photographer because they usually credit wildlife photographers. So it’s intended to be consistent. But then they don’t cite the author of the painting.

What a bunch of clowns.

Can we say we redacted it under he is in the Epstine files.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

He's such a whiny little bitch

[–] Janx@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago

Bootlicking snowflakes. Get a clear cover that obscures his orange lie-dispenser. Then, you can just pull the pass out to have it validated, and afterwards go back to pretending the Traitor-In-Chief isn't on it! But don't forget to tell them how pathetic they are for bending the knee to this fascist pedophile...

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There has to be a screen grab of Ron Swanson we could paste over the orange turd that they wouldn't notice.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

That's gotta be an insult to Swanson. Insult for most anyone, really.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

You must worship Dear Leader or you will be punished.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

You can get sheets of poop emoji stickers for cheap. Share with your friends.

[–] handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Guess I better protect my card from being altered or damaged by keeping it in a sleeve that protects the image side from being exposed to light or other surfaces.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

But he's already covered in shit!
