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!

I think I’ll just marathon “The Beverly Hillbillies” on PlutoTV instead, get my old time racism from better actors at least.

This guy is such a stupid gasbag. I look forward to the day when I don't have to hear about or from him any more.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A day is coming when we'll no longer need to hear from him. But we're going to be hearing about him for decades to come.

IDK we could always damnatio memoriae him and shoot anyone who brings him up in a positive light. Though I will say I would prefer crucifixion for that execution but at least at first that feels like it'd be untenable.

That fat thing has destroyed too much, raped too many little boys and girls, fucked up too much of the world's economy to be forgotten for decades and decades.
And when you add to that the american people doing almost fuck all to stop it you've got a legacy of shit that'll be brought up for a lonnnnngggg time.

The only real way to stop all this is to Gaddafi or Ceausescu the wobbling dementia riddled bag of orange syphilis. Then the american people will have changed the narrative.

We should have a watch party! What are some good movies to watch tomorrow?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 10 points 3 days ago

Apple TV has some great series with new episodes releasing tomorrow. I’ll be watching those to boost those incredible shows’ ratings.

He’s basically gonna do a live conspiracy podcast. 😔

You know those moments in movies where there’s an unwitting incumbent who nobody expects to be much more than a moronic politician, but then they step behind a booth and mic and immediately things get really stark… like

Good evening Americans, I’m here before you today to discuss a new New Deal.

… and then we all remember it as the day that everything irreversibly and undeniably changed.

I get worried that today is the day, any time the orange maggot wants to address anything larger than a TACO stand.

"If Republicans don't win that means China and the Democrats hacked it. We'll throw out the results and I'll tell you the True Results™©® spoiler: Republicans won everything everywhere even 100% Democrat districts."

funny how the elections are fraudulent and fake when the dems win, but when dumpy wins? Smooth sailing!

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He claimed fraud even when he won.

Broken clocks…

Not smooth, just that the PATRIOTS showed out in such numbers that Xi couldn't print enough ballots to overcome them. Factories cranking out millions of fake DEMONRAT ballots were beaten by the hard working PATRIOTS showing up in numbers never seen before! Some say the biggest numbers.
