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!

That dumbass helped me save 40% the full price on a PC by helping me realize I could use AliExpress instead of Amazon.

Thank you Trumpet

How would the world react to Trump and Putin secretly being in a relationship? Like if a video leaked of Trump on his knees giving Putin a sloppy backstage of an event they were both at?

Would be funny to see MAGA have to pretend they're cool with gay people now, or at least with one gay person

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 33 points 20 hours ago

Release the trump/epstein files so we can get on with imposing no consequences whatsoever, so we can get on with NOT removing him from office even with blatant evidence of crimes that should have disqualified him from the presidency

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 87 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is nothing new. I’d love for the Russians to release what they have on Trump.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 51 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

What could it possibly be that his supporters would care about? Even if it's a pedophile thing, we already know about the Epstein files. His supporters wore diapers to rallies, if it was just a piss thing, it would probably just become all the rage with conservatives.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

i really hope it's not proof of a pedophile thing because of what his supporters would do

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

been so jarring watching all my "hardcore patriot" acquaintances go wtf I love Russia now just in the last five years

like, it makes sense but it was just so sudden you know?

[–] wulrus@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Conspiracy theory:

Soviet Union realises it'll never become the sole superpower by conventional means. Makes "stupid" decisions, collapses, becomes "democracy". Let things calm down for a few decades, then plant a pro-Russian president (Communist president would have been too radical). Suddenly, it's the right that is pro-Russia. Now, bring back Communism and the Soviet Union.

MAGA-patriots: Yay, Communism!!! Tankies: Unsure what side to pick

Didn't the German commies sell the actual German socialists down the river by supporting the Nazis?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Yep, the people supporting Trump are not rational, they are in a cult and they will justify pretty much anything to keep the cult going.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It’s not new. Trump has an obsequious demeanor whenever he is around Putin.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

He's a total sub when around Putin.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

The former KGB 6th Directorate might have more files on the bastard.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago

Yep, Krasnov knows he's a Moscow puppet. FFS it was a Helsinki 2018 repeat.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 day ago

Just another meeting with the boss!

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 27 points 23 hours ago

I mean this is the same guy who pulls out chairs for genocidal war criminals (Netanyahu) so… he’s just staying on brand.

Is the video in the article? I don't see it.

[–] marsza@lemmy.cafe 3 points 15 hours ago

Videos deleted?

Orange sloppy toppy for that Russian cream.
