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!

The difference between Trump and Pete the drunk is for all Trumps faults, he is a charismatic speaker (threw up in my mouth a little saying a nice thing about him)

Translation: he wants money, pweeez

Even with someone txting the subtitles, this guy cannot read a room.

Didn’t know he was a masochist.

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I thought it was spelled misogynist.

[–] Naive@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I think next PM would be a Democrat rather than a Republican. I am not American so I may be wrong but I just feel that it would be happening.

[–] zane@infosec.pub 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Does he expect trump to be dead?

Is this about avoiding prison again?

Bro can't bench 135.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He knows the orange fuhrer is running 2028, right?

I encourage him to split the vote. That will end well.

(For not-Nazis America, that is.)

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah, prez won't run again, his mind is gone, and the county is not corrupted enough to accept such a blatant violation of the constitution.

More than that, he's already lost his mind. He's a fucking vegetable. While that's good for the super rich, it won't play in 2028. No, his bitch ass will step down.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You are absolutely right. Americans would never stand for blatant violations of their constitution.

Apologies I didn't warn you to put down your drink so it wouldn't shoot out your nose.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 4 days ago

It is not about fidelity to the constitution, it's about the right killing the republic. Maybe you should pick up a drink if you don't even realize that. Cheers motherfucker!

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I bet he's going to run as Trump's vice president 2028.

Or at least that's their plan.

[–] nnullzz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or have Trump run as his vice president.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Right. That was one of their "secret" strategies that trump told everyone about.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Translation: He wants to be the fascist in charge when the 2028 "elections" keep the Republicans in power.

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 2 points 4 days ago

The GI Joe cosplayer? That's weird...

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Oh goody.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I wish you would

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

It will be tough to run for president during his own Tribunal. Not saying it can't be done, but the deck will be stacked against him.

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 1 points 4 days ago

Sure, why not?
