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!

So he just wants a bigger Epstein Island?

That's just the most fun headline that I've read today. It's fun on so many levels! I'm closing Lemmy cause I wanna end on a high note and I can't predict when anything will measure up to this again.

This might explain why it's "psychologically important" to him.

what are the odds that Trump thinks Greenland is actually green?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The guy who thinks the CEO of Apple is named Tim Apple? He probably thinks it's a giant golf course.

Every splice still gets you in the green in Greenland.

Iceland had the right idea

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Give it some time.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 151 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So now we have to ask the question: What evidence does Trump want destroyed in Greenland?

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Something, something... sex with reindeer...

I was tempted to put just Rudy as in a nickname for Rudolph but decided against it.

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 78 points 1 day ago (2 children)

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 16 hours ago

Him trying to one up his friend is exactly the bitter petie shit I expect from him

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 67 points 1 day ago

This makes so much sense now.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So if the americans turned a little island to pedofile paradise, just imagine what americans could do with a big island. Time to lock up your daughters

Trump just wants a bigger island to rape the United States.

Dear United States. Since you decided not to give me the Nobel peace for not raping you I don’t feel very obligated to not be very rapey anymore

For 25 million.
