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!

Geez, I wonder why would anyone want to kill such a nice old gentleman.

It’s like when I walk into every room and inform everyone that I’m not a murderer. There’s always some asshole who thinks that means I am a murderer.

Like, dude, I just told you I wasn’t.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe you should put "not a murderer" on a t-shirt, to clarify the situation.

Trump: “I am not a pedophile. Those girls looked very mature and wore make-up, beautiful make-up.”

Reporter: “Next up, the new winner of the Beauty Pageant contest Princess of America, Claudette, 4, and why everybody wants to meet her”

Just ask yourself what the Russians or mossad have on him? They must have something real juicey, that he is willing to sacrifice 1000's of lives to protect his reputation. Although, for most, his reputation is already disgusting and corrupt.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think he sees it as sacrificing lives he just sees the money and that's all that matters. He doesn't have enough of a conscience to care about anything else.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think he’s sadistic and enjoys harming as many people as possible.

Oooooooooooooo. That's why he didn't throw a temper tantrum about the radical Left. Remember how hardcore all these clowns were after Kirk? It said fascism on a bullet! That's us! Time for civil war!
