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!

Looks like someone needed a ballroom.

He'll use that as an excuse to stop the whole thing so he can safe face. Oh it wasn't because he is extremely unpopular, a rapist, and a general PoS--- no, it's cause of the rain. Yep.

AccuWeather warns that on Sunday, Washington looks like it will be hit with a “a heavy thunderstorm late in the afternoon,” in which “downpours and lightning could impact the events at the White House.”

Idk, that sounds like absolutely perfect weather for Donnie to go stand in a large open area under a big hastily built metal thing.

In his combover and spray tan.

He’ll look like a drowned weasel.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 3 points 23 minutes ago

Please don’t disparage weasels like that. They did nothing to hurt you

We only need a few bolts of lightning to really turn the ship around. No, Pete, not those lightning bolts.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 hours ago

Both are good.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I was hoping for a hurricane, maybe a tornado. But, ok

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

Even a mild drizzle will drive out the AntChrist.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Even God has had enough of his shit.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

God tried it with a bit of freezing at Inauguration Day, didn’t work. Thunder and lightning now, what’s next? A Plague of Locusts?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

It took a plague to get him out of office the first time, let’s not push the issue.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

Lol he's gonna want to bomb the clouds.

[–] LilRed@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Well it's not God who controls the weather, if there even is one.
