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!

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

A self proclaimed doctor, I'll consider that one.

It is funny, Thanks for playing.

[–] Cavemanfreak@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm still missing Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown on the list.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's the FIRST name on the top comment.

They are in alphabetical order of Doc then Doctor then Dr.

[–] Cavemanfreak@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haha shit, I'm fucking blind and stupid. I combed through that list several times without seeing it

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

The main object was FUN and it seems like you had some.

Thanks for playing.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Doc Brown is his first one

[–] lunchbox2287@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Thank you for including Dr Tran. He is imminently more qualified. For the uninitiated: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA33989B65116A425

Doc Gooden certainly has more wins than RFK Jr. Still not sure who has done more coke, though

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

That's an easy tell, who is thinner?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Again, I ask - if PEDOnald and the GOP were not sent into our government to carry out a wishlist of what Russia wants done to this country, how would we even fucking tell?

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 13 points 4 days ago

Americans are watching everything they hold dear being dismantled and destroyed.

This bloke going for what’s left of their scientific boards is like their AI coming for their pop culture. They’re watching it happen.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’d expect him to be further but he’s just stretching the job out over his tenure so he has stuff to do later.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That seems to imply he knows what he's doing

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 1 points 3 days ago

He knows how to ruin things that work.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The worm should've finished its job.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Maybe people could leave wormy roadkill beside all the roads from his home to his office. Sooner or later he won't be able to resist pulling over for a quick snack.

Who woulda thunk?

The first Trump admin was all about building the basis for his continued "rule". At that point they were serious about "just" bending the framework of American law to allow him to be king (and be puppets from the background).

2020 was a bitchslap to this plan, so now they're going full on salted ground, destroying the federal government, with nobody standing in his way, just so he can rebuild his shitty fiefdom, fake gild and all, on top of the ruins.

Oh and it's not enough for him to ruin one country, if he can't have nice things nobody else can, so of course he's got to fuck everything up for everyone else because heavens forbid someone may enjoy the world more than him.

The guy is a walking uncleared throat who snorts coke off of toilet seats. What did anyone expect?

[–] rindo25@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

At this point I feel like he's a Nurgle worshipper and wants to spread plagues in the name of Chaos.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 7 points 4 days ago

Basically. He's absolutely trying to kill people.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago

Just look at him and they way he talks. If that's not a heretic then its a gene stealer.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Just eat ferments. You don't need no healthcare. /s

RFK Jr. We need to adrhere to ideas, not the people who promote them. Cesar Chavez may have done bad things. The ideas he gave his life for are not. Gandhi may have done bad things. The ideas he fought and advocated for are not. Hitler was an average painter. His ideas are counter-productive and reductive to a cohesive and adaptive structure.
