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!

Did she put on a blond wig and provide a hummer?

[–] hr_@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

I'd like to see where all the concerned voices when an artist has an opinion not aligning with theirs will be. "Focus on your music"

[–] aquinteros@lemmy.world 29 points 13 hours ago

if there is a god ... please, make this happen oh my god nothing would be funnier

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 22 points 14 hours ago

This would legitimately be hilarious. As much as I detest Trump and everything MAGA, I hope he does the funniest thing.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

Honestly I'd love to watch the shit show if Nikki, Kid Rock, fat Superman, or Ted Nugent were made White Press Secretary.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 19 points 15 hours ago

Sure. Why not? Nothing surprises me any more with the shitshow that the USA has become.

[–] lemmygarden@lemmy.today 53 points 21 hours ago

She's married to a registered sex offender. Of course she supports rapists like Trump.

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Am I the only one who never understood why she got so famous? Her music has always been awful.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 11 points 12 hours ago

She had one phenomenal verse on a Kanye track 16 years ago, and everyone spent five years hoping she'd do it again. By the time it became apparent that the verse was a fluke, she had adequately installed herself in pop culture.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Butt implants.

[–] gothmog@lemmy.today 24 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my god, PLEASE DO THIS. I'll get the popcorn out.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] gothmog@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

yes, but she tastes like ASS.

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 71 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Enough already. The US is already the laughing stock of the world. No need to double down.

What a fucking circus.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 40 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly as Russia planned. Everything is going according to the plan.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You underestimate American incompetence.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 6 points 15 hours ago

It just made it easier

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 25 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I honestly want this to happen. It would be so hilarious at this point.

[–] WoodYouLookAtThat@lemmy.today 7 points 11 hours ago

I also want this inflicted on my jackass parents

It would be my father's personal racist hell

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 12 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

in fairness, at trump we already know all the options are ridiculous. I mean after the entire whitehouse pubic staff co-ordinated to answer all questions from reporters with "your mom", when the whole administrations strategy for appearing before congress is burn books of personal attacks to deflect questions.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 7 points 21 hours ago

Unintentionally accurate.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

Hey now, pubes have purpose. Trump staff, less so.

Oh baby we way past double

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

I mean.... they keep doubling which results in exponential growth of the stupidity

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Will she outlast the Liz Truss lettuce?

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 17 hours ago

c/NotTheOnion

[–] DementedSociety@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I wonder how hardcore MAGA would respond. This might be a good idea lol.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 22 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Apparently they like their token black friend. She says all the right things

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Is he getting an orc to be press secretary?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I think that's racist?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Right? Don't they love them some Candace Owens?

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I thought Candace was in the MAGA dog house for going way to overt over Jews over the last year or so?

And isnt she still be sued by the Macrons for insinuating Brigitte was a man all along?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Candace is currently i guess 'going through it'...

...because she is describing everyone who is suspicious of the 'data privacy' app she does commercials for, which has ties to the NSA, Mossad, and whose CEO/frontman is 'ex' CIA...

... she is describing people who find that sketchy, as conspiracy theorists.

The Charlie Kirk conspiracies were largely popular with her crowd, she basically/arguably was the singular person most responsible for tearing MAGA in half, basically white/christian supremacists/nativists on one side, pro perma warmachine + digital panopticon zionist neocons on the other.

For a while, she was relatively very powerful as basically the prime figure / leader of the anti-Zionist/anti-Jewish* half of MAGA that became that half largely because of a split she largely caused.

*(we have to note here that right wingers are seemingly largely incapable of understanding that jew != zionist, so for them, they are basically always both anti zionist and just actually anti-semitic at the same time.)

But now, she is losing a good chunk of her side (white supremacists/christian theofascists) because she is calling everyone who questions her own ties to the permawarmachine zionist necons... a ridiculous conspiracy theorist.

They can't be racist of they have black friends!!!

I would hope the /s isn't necessary.

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be amazing if Trump lost his base of hardcore racists? Those are the only ones who have stuck around all this time. It'd be great to see the meltdown.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

He'd never lose them, maga is world class at retconning any and all developments into their own personal "this is good for Bitcoin" moment

[–] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 36 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Any other timeline and I'd laugh at this thinking it was a great joke. This one tho...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I literally laughed outloud the first time somebody told me that Trump was running for president. I didn't think it could possibly have been real.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

Same. I thought the dumbass was a punchline for decades. But for that goddamned game show he was given...

What a feckless cunt.

And Nicki is shit too.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 21 hours ago

"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" did a sketch about this right after what's-her-face got fired.

That was funny. This is not.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 7 points 18 hours ago

I did a double-take. This is amazing

[–] arotrios@kbin.earth 5 points 17 hours ago

This isn't a tease so much as a thinly veiled threat.

Or the latest Fox sitcom pilot. I can't tell anymore.

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 17 points 23 hours ago

I mean damn, really, Nicki fucking Minaj...the joke writes itself.

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

She's going to rap about the WAP: wicked associated press

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

The free press already largely a thing of the past. They either read corporate PR, or put spin on corporate PR.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 8 points 23 hours ago

That could be funny. How about a male porn star?
