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!

If you see anybody celebrating Reiner's death, let their employer know.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Technically I am Trump's employer. Fat lot of good that does me.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 154 points 4 days ago (7 children)

as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before.

This dude is batshit fucking crazy.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

While true, he's also a fucking manipulative liar.

I don't for one single second believe that he honestly believes what he's saying. He just knows full well you repeat a lie to make it true so if he says it enough his cult will simply accept it as reality.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Also this is teams and teams of people, from different nations, organizations, all working on his messaging. Don’t for a second forget this is dark enlightenment, heritage foundation, maybe Russia too, he’s a puppet and someone put in his place from that same group of mixed but related goals will be either the same or worse

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

It's the Golden Age of corporate welfare, the farmers are going bankrupt due to his policies and the AgroCorps are getting them for pennies on the dollar.

He truly is surpassing his goals and it is greatness.

For the corps.

He's telling the truth and lying at the same time.

Look at ICE, bigger than ever, that's an amazing goal and greatness if you want to punish and control the country.

One of his people basically admitted on TV..yesterday? I think? That they feed trump ~~fake~~ flattering numbers to keep him happy.

*edited for correction of accidental misinformation.

Because, of course, nothing can happen without Trump being an asshole about it.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He literally does not care about anyone besides himself.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He does care. In this case he's thrilled that he got killed, because in his mind he deserves the death penalty for criticising the almighty Trump.

Any item he sees in the news that doesn't involve him, he's like "but how can I make this about me, which is what everything should be about?".

A country of 330+ million reduced down to one main character.

My account of 17 years was banned from reddit when I saw this and said that I am waiting with baited breath for Trumps run on this planet to be done. That I hope hell exists and that he goes to it screaming and scared.

It was banned for promoting violence. To be clear, I dont wish violence on anyone, just that he dies of natural causes and that it hurts the whole time.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

To be clear, I dont wish violence on anyone

You don't have to say this to be a decent person. Pacifism is not synonymous with good or moral. There are people in this world that I think you would be immoral to not wish violence upon.

[–] edahs@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agree but I also dont want to get banned on a second social media platform in under 24 hours.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Lots of us were banned for "political violence" for civil discourse. Here, you can say "I will be so glad when that man is dead and I'll celebrate for days" and no one is going to make a federal case out of it.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

Putin for example. As for natural causes, cancer is natural these days. Also a fall tends to hurt only at the end unless its an incline. So I wish Putin a nice roll down an increasingly steep hill leading into a vast basin covered in foot long jagged edged glass and rocks.

Wow…. Just, wow. Trump is such a piece of shit. Possibly the lowest of shit.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You serioulsy underestimate him. If there's one thing you should have learn from pedonald by now, is that he can always go lower. Next week, I can picture him posting an AI image of the Virgin Mary blowing his cock with the title "I'ts huge", and some maga pastor would call it master trolling.

Live life in such a way that your death is celebrated by MAGA.

Because soon enough they will need to hide.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Imagine. A troubled young man murders his parents, for reasons that likely had nothing to do with politics, and Trump thinks "this must have been about me"

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But people were fired from their jobs for quoting Charlie Kirk’s own words after he died.

[–] edahs@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I now just post the following when I see maggots discussing Charlie Kirk

May the IV they have to plug into his right hand every night become tainted and poisoned to lessen our burden and heal our country. In Darwin we pray, amen.

what a repugnant piece of shit....

[–] Floon@lemmy.ml 28 points 4 days ago

When given the opportunity to show he is the worst person, Trump always seizes it and makes the most of it. He never lets a chance slip by to remind us all who he is, how terrible he is, and what sociopathy looks like.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That piece of shit makes me so angry. I wish he'd die already so we didn't have to hear about him anymore.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Your anger is precisely what Trump is looking for. Don't give it.

It's rage-bait attention seeking done by an insecure, immature man.

Get past it and just pivot to it being an old man in the throes of dementia.

(..which it is..)

THAT will piss him off, as his father, Fred Trump, went down HARD from the disease. It's Trump's existential terror, if what his niece, Mary Trump, has said about it is true. So far she's been 100% accurate.

"Grampa Dementia" is following in his dad's footsteps. Poor Donny can't help himself, it's the disease, after all, doing the speaking for him...

That is all.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

Trump was scum long before the demntia kicked in.

What a pussy. Couldn't say shit about him when he was alive and now you're talking all that shit when he cant defend himself. Donnie proving once again he and his administration are the biggest pussies in history.

[–] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

What a piece of shit.

Patron saint of FAFO.

[–] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

So, remember how people were getting cancelled for saying "mean" things about Ol' Charlie? Can we get more of those cancels?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Can't Trump try being a decent human for once? Lots of people say "well I didn't like his politics but my heart goes out to his family" or something along those lines

[–] finley@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Can't Trump try being a decent human for once?

He’s gotten by for 80 years doing the exact opposite and never perceiving a consequence. Why would he suddenly stop now?

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 9 points 4 days ago

no, because he believes he is being a decent human being. he’s a narcissist after all.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 days ago

I thought it was wrong to say mean things about murder victims?

I couldn't read this, I stopped halfway through.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Street parties globally when Trump dies!!! (Of natural causes but it still could be soon)

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

Oh look, Grampa Dementia is at it again. At least the hired help hid his car keys so the roads are safe.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oops? He was supposed to wait for at least a day? Just a thought.

He definitely had nothing to do with the events leading the comments.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if cheeto mcpedo knows that many people might just be literally dancing in the streets when he passes?

Ok, Grandpa. Time for your nap and meds.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that trump (or someone with access to his account) used an AI to generate that message?

I think the way he refers to himself in the third person just screams AI to me.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

He’s been doing that for years; he’s just an asshole narcissist that needs to make everything about himself.

Again the Trump derangement syndrome or something like that

Some say they want to make this claim that being against the government is a disease, so they can bring back mental institutions and lock people protesting against the govement as “mental health” and try to escape the 1st amendment

This is really scary.
