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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

So he's getting his Führerbunker after all?

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He should paint the walls red.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I've said it multiple times, Hitler's last painting, his piéce de résistance, elevates him to the point of being one of the most impactful artists of the 20th century. Inspirational choice of materials (grey matter for paint, Walther PPK for brush, concrete for canvas), and that swift stroke of the brush changed - and potentially saved - so many lives...

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

More likely to be ketchup for paint, with a hamberder for brush and tacky wallpaper for canvas. A man can dream though...

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's most likely he'll just smear his own shit on the walls.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Only after his suckhole is crammed overfull with greasy mitfuls of it.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I don't think it many if any lives. Soviet boots were virtually stamping overhead.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 40 points 4 months ago

Crazy that POTUS is arguing all of this is necessary to protect him while he fucks off to his resort.

“Underground construction, including of bunkers, bomb shelters, military installations or medical facilities, may proceed.” - emphasis mine
I find the medical facilities part very interesting. It sounds to me like they’re building a Dave style single room hospital under there. A place outside of the very public Reed National where the president can receive serious medical treatments. With Trump in the hospital so often I suspect that this whole thing has been a cover so that Trump won’t look weak going to see his doctor

The pedophile rapist piece of shit looks the weakest he's ever looked; his moronic brainwashed followers don't seem to care one bit.

God forbid Biden forgot one word that one time.. it was national news for weeks....

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

God forbid Biden forgot one word that one time.

The Republicans were on Biden the moment he paused to gather his thoughts or reorder what he planned to say. The guy was no Obama for speaking, but he could stay on-message and deliver a speech, instead of going back to comfy griping or shallow pandering.

I miss Obama's particular soundbyte-friendly rhythm; and the delivery was odd to begin with, but a measured, calm delivery is sorely missed right now. I've listened to the Canadian guy and he's okay, and he can deliver a great talk, but still no Obama.

i wouldnt want a president displaying signs of mental degeneration red or blue. why are you even bringing biden into this?

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Because of the blatant double standard. If you have an R next to your name anything will fly, no matter how disjointed or insane, but if its a D, any misstep, no matter the severity, and you are done.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Because Biden wasn't actively demented

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 4 points 4 months ago

Because Biden has been accused of health issues during his presidential tenure... and as others have stated, the double standards. Comparisons sake. Of course no one wants a president with mental degeneration, however this pedophile clearly has the worst case in history, in my opinion.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Don't be be an apologist on top of a mythically precocious narcissist. 🤌🏼

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 11 points 4 months ago

Why would he look weak? He drinks Diet Coke to kill the cancer cells and doesn’t exercise to conserve energy.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So the data centre can go ahead but the fluff on top can't? Doesn't sound like too much of a win, but we'll see.

[–] Vieric@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Feels more like a "No need to hide this, just do what you're gonna do" to me. I won't say the ballroom didn't mater to him, the vain piece of shit, but it was never the point.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Uh, we're not zoned for that...

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

That's suspicious
