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!

His taking a bribe from the enemy we’re at war with is the textbook definition of treason.

Is he not required to disclose what the present is?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago

The anticorruption policy where I work requires me to disclose anything more than $50. But I guess there is no morality standard here

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because there is no present. This fucker just keeps making shit up to cover up the fact that he is a fucking idiot that has no clue WTF hes doing in Iran.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's hinting at Iran that he wants a present, and if they make it a good one, things will go well for them.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's not a hint. He's directly telling them he wants a present.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It's a hint in his mind. He doesn't know subtle.

The Emoluments Clause was not applied to him in his first failed term, either.

He did it's very big. It's probably cock.

You're allowed to parse this situation without being homophobic.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

How is this homophobic? Pretend he's a woman, I would still say the same thing. I can't control your interpretation.
