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!

President Donald Trump has taken an extraordinary step in his efforts to turn his birthday into a national celebration, with the National Park Service revealing that on June 14, his birthday, admission to national parks will be free for U.S. citizens.

In addition, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth have been removed from the schedule of free park admission days, despite both being federally recognized holidays.

Instead it will be his death day that will be globally celebrated.

I will personally celebrate with the most expensive whiskey I can find on this day.

His deathday will be a global holiday.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (3 children)

We should purge his name from every building and record.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I'd say turning a public toilet into a Trump monument would be a good iea

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not a fan of that wiping out history stuff. Just make it synonymous with being a shitcunt.

like, Hitler is known. if Hitler weren't known, it's not like we wouldn't have fartsmears like Nick Fuentes around. they'd still be here.

Trump is the new Quisling.

You mean the future global No Kings Day?

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Already got my drinks and party hat

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago (1 children)

his birthday isn't and won't be, but the day he dies will be celebrated for generations

[–] illegible@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of, “A man in Moscow goes up to a newsstand and buys a newspaper… He then glances at the front page, then turns aside and tosses the whole newspaper straight into the trash. Next day, he turns up, and does the same thing. Buys it, glances at the front page, throws it in the trash. Next day, same thing. The newsstand worker is increasingly puzzled, but doesn't say anything. But eventually, after a couple of weeks of this, he can't take it. "I'm sorry, friend, but I must ask: why do you buy the paper every day and then just look at the front page and throw it out?" "Oh, I'm just checking for something." "OK, but: what are you checking for?" "I'm checking for a particular obituary." "But sir, you don't even open the newspaper! The obituaries aren't even on the front page!" "Oh, believe me, the one I'm waiting for will be."

Classic abuser move. Take away two free days and then give us back one and makes sure we know it's from him cuz he put his name all over it.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 35 points 3 months ago (3 children)

There will be one trump anniversary I'll celebrate, and it hasn't happened yet.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

I was just discussing the event the other day, and said when it happens I will buy a flag pole, an American flag, and raise it to full staff. It will be up as long as the half staff order is active, then I will take it down and sell it or trash it. There will be zero ambiguity in my actions.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

when he shits his pants on live TV?

Anyone still in doubt about Donald Trump being a narcissist?

Don’t forget pedophile. And rapist.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Everyone should stock up on crowbars so that the moment this fetid sack of shit is no longer in office they can go fall-of-the-Berlin-wall and forcefully remove his name from everything it has been stuck on.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fuck a child day? Rape someone day? Steal from children's charity Day?

Dear Leader Day. With bigly parades and mandatory attendance.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

This reminds me that many history-related Wikipedia articles like this one don't have an English version yet. Might be a nice project in anticipation of Trump's b-day.

Can we just fast forward to the part where we find out where they buried him so I can go relieve myself there?

Gross. Fuck off fascist. No one wants to celebrate the day your mom shat you out.

We'll celebrate the day you last draw breath though! Gonna get me some nice booze. None of that cheap stuff.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Tell you what, let’s meet in the middle and make your death day a holiday. So come on now, hurry up so we can celebrate it in 2026.

[–] Mad__vegan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

How can you tell if someone is a racist narcissist...

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

His birthday is flag day. No need to make it Trump Day

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Weirdos do weird things.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago

I can see his obituary date being celebrated, if he is forcibly turned into manure for the tree.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Never ask when the zone is fully flooded. Trump will tell you by not performing some batshit insane dumbfuckery. Until then, assume he still wants you distracted from the fact that he fucks kids.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'll celebrate the day by burning the American flag and posting online about how much I hate Trump, because I still have the freedom to do both of those things no matter what this sack of shit wants.

[–] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I doubt the old cunt will even see his next birthday.
