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!

Having a Vanilla Ice show is humiliation enough.

Ok, but what about being stood up by vanilla ice?

Love that it keeps raining on the pedophiles parade. Literally and figuratively. More please.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 58 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Rain cancellation is hardly a humiliation unless you believe in God. Just to be clear though, fuck trump!

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It barely rained at that time in DC. and the random showers were over in minutes.

[–] Astronut@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

To the highest of Fuckativity!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Donvict can probably get over it; he's enriching himself and his crime family to the tune of billions.

Also, I don't think someone with such a broken personality really experiences humiliation in the same way that normal people do. He's been shielded from any consequences by a compliant system and his daddy's money for his entire life.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 22 hours ago

There's only one thing the Orange Jackass values more than money and that's his ego.

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Exactly, he has no shame he doesn't know what embarasment is. He hasn't had a single failure in the white house because everything is just a grift. Oh the reflecting pool looks like shit now? He doesn't care about that -- he stole millions of dollars with that little stunt. Oh the US is surrendering to Iran? He does not give a signle fuck -- he stole billions with that one.

Everytime we're like "omg he's so stupid how did he fuck that up?" He does not give a fuck how fucked up it was he stole tons of money it was a success for his Qatari offshore bank account.

Thinking trump is embarassed by any of this is like thinking a kid on Christmas morning is embarassed at the way they ripped up the gift wrapping on their expensive gifts.

I try to avoid watching anything that shows his image or replays his voice, but I've seen Trump be absolutely humiliated at least once. It was the WHCA dinner when Obama roasted him over Trump's birth certificate flop.

It's could very well be the point at which he dedicated himself to raping America and never would be able to stop obsessing over Obama, the man who smirked while he spanked him in public and everyone laughed.

The humiliation is more that of his followers - but they've proven many times over that they're incapable of genuine shame.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody should celebrate 250 years of oppression, genocide and militarism.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

No no, you don't understand, it just got this bad. This is unprecedented. Unprecedented! My stars! Heavens to Betsy! Golly gee willikers!

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Damn, and i thought Vanilla Ice was a whore for anyone with a twenty.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

[Vanilla Ice] also said that he would perform if former President Joe Biden asked him to, admitting, "I’d go play. It’s not a big thing. You play for your fans. You know, we don’t get a chance to pick our fans. They pick us. And I’ll go play for Putin and I’ll play in Iran if you want. It don’t matter."

That is correct

[–] Captain_Patchy@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

A whore without any values beyond the paycheck.

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

Basketball diplomacy in another form.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

What do you think he was doing in the alley during the rain delay?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

The cancelation is worthy of celebration.

[–] StealthLizardDrop@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i guess he melted under the rain

Milli Vanilli cancelled too, though.

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rain is just God pissing on you.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

That explains a lot 😏
