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!

In isolation, no.

However, this is not in isolation. This is simply one of many, many, many things to add to the preponderance of evidence pile.

Its all filling in links in the chain of causality.

See that's the problem. Every new piece of evidence is reviewed independently by MAGAts. That way they never have to concede a pattern of behavior.

God it's actually so fucking funny. I can't believe Americans were fooled into voting for this disgusting conman twice. How did you as a nation not learn your lesson the first time? How was there even a first time?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

some Americans. Many of us were trying to explain who and what this skidmark was back in 2015/2016.

But cons couldn't go for any methadone Romney type of shit after mainlining Sarah Palin...and Taco was right there. If they loooooved Failin' Palin, they positively swooned over Taco, who not only said all the same kinds of unhinged shit that Palin would pipe right from Faux, Taco had been watching Faux all the time, too, and knew all the same songs AND he had been doing that King Birther shit for years beforehand.
