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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

“Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine,” she wrote. “So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar. Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.”

Heh.

I thought JD stood for Juicy Douche

“If you get sworn in with a false name, I would imagine that’s pretty tough to remain,” he said,

Let's see what Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz thinks of that

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

Lies! Ted Cruz can't have been falsely sworn in, he was in Cancun at the time.

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

And James Donald David JD Bowman Hamel Vance

[–] crystalmathadept@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

He was born in Canada. Deport him!

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 75 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I suggest Trump resign immediately over pedophilia, fraud, treason.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Don't forget corruption.

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 10 points 1 week ago
[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't suggest it, demand it

What does John Barron think?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a really good point. The felon-in-chief used to make calls claiming to be someone else, all to hype himself. Was that fraud?

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 3 points 1 week ago

No, that was Trump being a mischievous rascal, sort of like Bugs Bunny.

So James Donald Bowman should resign immediately now, right?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I’d say don’t deadname him, but fuck that guy.

[–] burgermeister@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the accusation truly is the admission

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago

Oh really, Mr John Barron?!? O.o

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck all married women who changed their name. Should Melania resign from first lady? I think yes.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he probably smirks and says she's the second lady and looks around the room to make sure everyone else is laughing. You know... since he pushed his first wife down some stairs and buried her on a golf course for tax breaks.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Marla was #2, that makes Melania #3.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

My bad. If I wanted to know the details of famous assholes I would become a proctologist in Hollywood.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

They're making it harder for people who have changed their names to vote

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 27 points 1 week ago

UNO Reverse Card - now trump must resign, after all his name is drumph. I don't make the rules.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone pointing out the hypocrisy here are missing one thing:

They don’t care. He is probably going to get her deported, and it doesn’t matter how many in his cabal are guilty of the exact same thing.

They don’t have to play by the rules they demand of others, and they have no intention to

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 10 points 1 week ago

Yes, it's fascism 101.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think dumbfuck should resign as he is a multiply convicted felon. But no one cares what I think.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do. But no one cares what I think.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

I think. But no one cares whet I do.

[–] DonorTissue@lemmy.today 25 points 1 week ago

Whatever you say Donald Drumpf.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 week ago

What, has he renamed her Ilhan America?

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

It's common for many foreigners to change their name when registering in the U.S.

Asians have completely new names because Americans can't pronounce their native names.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago

Thats the thinly veiled threat. "You better leave or we're gonna do way worse than just raid your house for immigration documents.".

The purge is upon us.

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

This is coming from the felon-in-chief.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

The man who keeps giving bodies of water fake names

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

Ok Donald Drumpf

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

John Baron says what? Drumpf says whom?

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 1 week ago

Oh no, she used a fake(allegedly) name? Well she must resign IMMEDIATELY, says the scammer traitor pedophile Donald Trump.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Is that what John Barron thinks?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Holy fuck, he's back on names. I'll lay down $500 he calls her Illan Husain Omar by next week. Who cares what set of letters she identifies herself by?

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They care what set of genitals people were born with, I'm sure letters make the list of dumb crap they care about.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Why hasn’t Trump released his long-form birth certificate? Is he trying to hide something?

In here before braindead people start blaming the democrats for this.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yes sir Mr Trumpf.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

this bullshit "news" story is everywhere. I swear it's bot farm propaganda

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Fake news

Fake name

Fake list of child rapists

[–] sportsjorts@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Trump should resign for smelling like shit and being a child murdering pedophile.
