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!

As long as there is a trans swimmer somewhere, these dummies will continue to vote against their interests.

Oh no, if only someone could have foreseen this completely obvious and predictable outcome.

Living in farm country, I'm constantly baffled at how many support someone who has shown how little he cares for your industry for a decade. Kinda hard to feel sorry for the farmer who's looking at losing his farm with a trump sign out on his barbed wire fence.

Sucks to suck, how about that local sportsball team? They really walked it in last night, huh?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Hm, I wonder what percentage of farmers voted for donnie dipshit?

Stock up on dried beans and rice folks.

Seriously. Do it.

Friendly reminder that JD Vance invested, and likely still has stake, in AcreTrader that facilitates buying farmland. https://www.farmlandgrab.org/post/32430-jd-vance-funded-acretrader-here-s-why-that-matters

Maybe not vote for a fraudulent pedophile next time?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the alternative was men in women's sports and trans for everyone.

Also, she had a cackling laugh!

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago

They will do it again and prove you wrong next time!

These are not the sort of people to take advice, period.

How about them bootstraps tho?

Just wait till Canada starts hold back some of that potash supply cause of Trump's trade war...

Are we great yet?

Before Iran related inflation, there was always anti China policies, such that farmers have been losing money every year since 2016. Losses should be much higher than article states because grain futures are still on low end, with the assumption that China will buy some of the crop still.

They're going to remove this post without an alternative source link.
