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!

a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it.

I’m laughing so hard I think I may have collapsed a lung.

Has there ever been a group of people easier to fucking con and manipulate than the MAGAs? The most profoundly, aggressively stupid people to ever walk the earth. They literally handed over their money - and not an insignificant amount at that - for something called a "Trump phone." Fucking imbeciles.

And will they learn anything from that? Certainly not.

And if he told them he could deliver the phones if they paid another $100, they'd all pay it.

Will this be the sign that they have put their faith in a serial conman (and rapist and pedophile)?

Magic 8 ball says "very doubtful"

Trump bibles, Trump NFTs, Trump coins. But it's totally not a cult.

You forgot Trump shoes

Wow! Conned by a conman, what were the odds of that happening. 🤔

[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 months ago

Good. I hope they don’t get their families back either.

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

How could Biden have done this?!?

Pretty sure most of that was actually the Saudis paying their ~~bribes~~ independent civilian purchases in exchange for their new air base on US soil.

@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world didn't even bother editing the URL to a verifiable source. 🤦‍♀️

Are they fuming, though?
