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!

Well he's right: what he's done to the reflecting pool truly is vandalism. And he's done quite a number on the White House too...

He could literally shoot himself in the foot and he would blame someone else for it.

Fatass old demented manbaby.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He could do it live on Fox News and MAGA would believe him if he said Biden did it.

Fatass old demented manbaby that most people who could have voted either voted for, or allowed into office in spite of his record because they couldnt stand a woman of color in the hot seat. America is so dumb.

[–] loaf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

This. All of this.

This country is so racist and sexist that it chose this over a qualified, educated person.

[–] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He could even scratch his ear, and blame someone for it.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fact that anyone believes a single fucking word coming out of the mouths of this administration is nothing short of astonishing .

Lead poisoning and consumption of maga propaganda

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck up, play the victim card again, Don.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

MAGA slurp that nonsense up like a free Big Gulp.

Correct we’ve seen the pedophile and his no-bid contracts to his friends vandalize more than just the reflecting pool. Add it to the list of charges he’ll never be held accountable for.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

It's DC. Tell me there aren't cameras everywhere.

Bro fucked up his own paint job with hydrogen peroxide and now wants to blame antifa.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

He is not wrong here. That paint job could easily be called vandalism.
