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!

He’s the winner of bottom feeding

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That is his life story

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A cancer on the country

Has anyone not heard? It's not important now. Dictators don't give a bigly berder shit about poll numbers.

[–] plateee@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Oh shit. He's below 40% approval? That's interesting. I'm not sure, but IIRC, that was pretty much his floor.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's the Republican base that votes R no matter what and doesn't pay attention to reality. Dipping below that means some of them started paying attention.

Probably because they've finally been personally affected by some of his policies and are reacting to the fact that he's not actually targeting who he says he is. That doesn't mean they recognize the error... Just that they're willing to break because they're affected now.

The Pravda outlets keep trying to claim that Biden handed Donnie the WORSTEST 'CONOMY EVAR and YOU ARE LIVING IN THE GOLDEN AGE YOU PEASANTS AND YOU BETTER START SHOWING SOME GRATITUDE, and I'm sure many of these assholes buy that when they hear it, because I sure as fuck hear them repeating it like good robots.

But the cognitive dissonance of seeing $5/gal gasoline must be causing them a real headache, I'm sure.

Not just $5-6 gas, but grocery prices have skyrocketed in the past 2 years. A large part of the Base are retired and on fixed incomes. Paying more for groceries hits them hard, and is consistent week after week, month after month always reminding them and constantly contradicting the lies.

bruh I just pad 30 bucks for a sandwich and beer at the bar. Shit is getting absurd.

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

W got down into the 20s in his second term. The bottom is somewhere around there.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Doesn’t matter what the pole number say Donny will still continue to lie cheat and steal everything he can. And his cult administration will continue to lie to him saying he is #1.
