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!

Yeah I don't mind that my rent is up 35% since I moved in 15 years ago, my wages are the same, everything is more expensive, I don't have insurance, and I have health issues. Who wants a house anyway?

The dow is 50000

The dow is 50000

It was...

And we can make so much money when oil is expensive too!

Real galaxy-brain stuff. ~/s~

This is what a slumlord from the 1990’s would say

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 38 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Translation "I don't give a fuck about housing."

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly that. He's always been that way, too - "people are saying X" = "I think X".

What's sad is that he's stopped even pretending to care about anyone but himself now.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Sign of fatigue. He can't keep the performance up as his administration's incompetence continues to pile up the failures.

In what world do you transliterate the sound used to censor swearing, to censor swearing?! If it was audio, would they overdub a voice shouting "a bunch of asterisks!"

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 48 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Based on the people he talks to, I'm sure that's an uncharacteristically reasonable assessment.

[–] EntheoNaut@lemmy.ml 44 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Eat these fucks.

Fuck them all. We need to dismantle the system.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Eat these fucks.

Nah, Trump and Co should be disposed of as the toxic waste they are.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml -5 points 15 hours ago

If by 'and co' you include Democrats, you are correct. They all need to go. Trump is a cog in the machine, replacing the cog doesn't change how the machine operates

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 27 points 18 hours ago

He right. We know. Put the rich in prison for human rights abuses. Let them be happy that it’s just a life sentence.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I was expecting this but yours is rather more salient. :)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What is going on with the audio in the clip you linked? Am I having a stronk?

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Hmm. I wasn't paying attention, just tried to find the clip and confirmed it had the "It's GOOD to be the King!" that I wanted to reference. I can't tell if it's mangled somehow or a different language except the line in question. Weird.

Sorry about that. o.O

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 6 points 18 hours ago

As if the GOP would ever do anything good for housing anyway...

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 5 points 17 hours ago

That's a great campaign slogan for the GOP. See how well that one plays in November.
