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!

"Good, I'm glad he's dead," Trump said.

Donald Trump reacted to the death of former FBI Director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller with a celebratory post on Truth Social minutes after news broke on Saturday.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 1:26 p.m. EDT, signing the message, “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Mueller, who died at 81, led the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and examined ties between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.

Remember just a bit ago where they were so horrified and clutching their pearls about anyone saying they were glad Charlie Kirk was dead

That only applies to the very worst of people. For Republicans that are not sufficiently loyal like Mueller, they can celebrate. Expecting them to have any moral clarity is asking a lot of these assholes.

Blows my mind that he would hold a grudge against the guy that effectively let him get away with treason.

[–] Klox@lemmy.world 18 points 1 hour ago

It really is amazing. Mueller thought he was protecting our institutions. Instead he got to see his vacuous, largely fake, idealism go up in flames. And now tweet in chief mocks him in his grave.

thats the thing with trump. you can suck his dick and tongue his ass for years but you do one thing he don't like and its right under the bus for you.

Come on, poetic irony. Kill the president of the United States while this shitpost is still in everyone's feed so we can all repost it with the names swapped.

What do you think will happen when the hamberder finally wins? Will ICE come after everyone who celebrates? Will the Laura Loomers of the world report people to their bosses?

I think (hope) the celebration will be so huge it will shut these losers up. Bullies are always cowards and never stick their neck out. If they don’t have a bigger bully protecting them, they’ll be silent.

I think there will be celebration in the streets when that bloated frog kicks it. I'm quite sure some people are saving fireworks and bottles of their favorite booze to celebrate.

Watching the butthurt man-babies and the Karens crying about it going to be like manna from heaven. They seem to have no idea just how many people despise their golden turd.

I agree — they don’t know how unpopular he is. Even fans of Obama don’t make it their whole personality and wear his face on their clothes.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Exactly right. It's amusing how many of these asshats expect the critics of their diaper king to behave just as they do, but for the other side. When most of us just....don't.

I voted for Kamala and Biden and Obama, but I ain't even putting a sign in my yard for them. Never mind wearing fucking shirts/hats and flying flags and plastering stupid stickers all over my car for them, FFS. Because I'm a fucking citizen and not a goddamned cult member.

They have no idea how most Americans view them.

Yeah, somebody screenshot this for The Headline.

I have bad news for John Barron:

When you die, there will be dancing in the streets and fireworks going off all over the world, motherfucker.
