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!

trump deleted a post? on his own platform?

ok, that is news

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago

We saw what he'll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he's not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

I don't find this funny, I find it terrifying. We know he's a narcissist but I'm wondering if ge sees himself as a deity. He did this cos he thought he'd get away with it. Does he think he inspires religious fervour?

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Narcissism often comes with an aspect of omnipotence, this idea that they must know all there is to know because the idea that something might be outside their sphere of knowledge would make them imperfect and since they believe they are perfect beyond reproach it would be impossible for it to be true. They really do believe they know everything and if you say otherwise it’s because you’re stupid and wrong.

All narcissists believe they are a deity in the sense their world view is what they believe to be omnipotent which is a trait only a deity could have.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I wonder if he does genuinely believe he has godly powers, or is Jesus himself. I wouldn't put it past him

He might have deleted it, but we never will. We will remind MAGA of this forever.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago

Now we gottem. Not with the pedophile war criminal stuff no one cares about, but when he pretended to be an imaginary guy.

[–] ductTapedWindow@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your average maga will say he was hacked by Iran and write it off, then commit adultery in the church parking lot before being absolved by a priest who's getting his tally whacker sucked by a 9 year old boy in the confession booth. You have no idea who these people are

[–] slag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

This is why you should always say “and then he defended it publicly” in the same breath.

Will you win the argument? No. Will you increase the amount of mental gymnastics they perform for your own personal entertainment? Yes.

[–] tauonite@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, breaking news

Come down Get off your fucking cross We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr

I have been looking at r/conservative on and off over the years. The Jesus backlash is the first time where every single comment was calling Trump out for his bull shit.

Fuck it took a long time but maybe many of them finally see it.

[–] core@leminal.space 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Calling him out for this bullshit. His other bullshit they're still OK with.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mostly yes but there were a few comments like “ugh why did he do something stupid again” so mostly you’re right, but there are cracks. And in the last 10 years, it’s the second time we’ve seen any cracks. (Epstein files was the 1st thing they started calling him out on)

When those cracks start to form, I’m coming through with my seeds of empathy and compassion so they can learn to stop beng dickheads. I’m gonna grow empathy trees in those cracks that destroy the foundation.

(Unrelated but the floor in our garage cracked a plant started to grow in the middle. Can you tell? Also I’m rewatching The Good Place)

The insane thing is that he says he thought the image was of him as a doctor.

Article of him saying this stupid shit

Video of him saying this stupid shit

[–] FancyPantsFIRE@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Your doctor doesn’t wear flowing robes and wield a holy light? Shit, maybe I need to find a new doctor.

I think people would respect the media more if they stopped reporting on everything from truth social.

It's just a bot farm made to stroke the ego of a geriatric rape ape

Apparently it's also a shameless and presumably IP-violating fork of Mastodon

HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK these people are sick

my accountability partner right now is Jack, my son.” The pair receive a report on one another’s internet use once a week, Johnson said, although if “anything objectionable comes up”, Johnson or his son will receive an immediate notification.

Imagine getting a spank report on your dad/son.

No no no no no no no omfg no
