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!

Why does Kash always look like he just figured out his entire life is a lie, and that even his own wife is an Israeli spy?

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He looks like he’s in the middle of getting an enema.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

and trying to hide his enemerection

[–] RustyShackleford@lemmy.zip 18 points 11 months ago

Because it’s even worse than that, somehow.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I can't wait for that ugly fucking pug to spend the rest of his life in prison.

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Democrats are so useless that they'll let him have his entire term as FBI director instead of fire him if they win the presidency in 2028. In fact they will probably preen about how not firing him is a virtuous example of the return of norms and traditions.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately this is a fact, nobody will ever have any consequences for any of this.

[–] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 79 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Trump's Amerika sounding more and more like Putin's Russia every day.

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Sounds? My guy, it is. Please keep up.

"If we don't look for corruption, we won't find it.", says the most corrupt administration ever.

America's top cop is protecting criminals.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is criminals. They is the criminals. They is criminals. Crime.

What is you? Some kind of pirate? Arr!

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

What do you expect when the president is a convicted felon who hasn't faced any consequences of being convicted as a felon?

[–] ysjet@lemmy.world 53 points 11 months ago

Once again, the headline gets twisted to the republican narrative,

Anti-corruption. It's an anti-corruption group. The GOP lawmakers are corrupt.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Corruption for me, never for thee

-Republicans, essentially

[–] ShieldsUp@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Another president fond of coup d'état and authoritarianism! That was a fun read for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_R._Benavides

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The only reason to remove organizations to help aid in dealing with corruption is to enable more corruption.

Trump really can't even pretend to hide his true intentions now. Fucking fascist.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why should he? Nobody's doing anything to stop him.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The rich love him, they aren't going to stop him. The people with higher levels of power stopped us from Trump getting any form of justice.

Hopefully he has a long, slow, painful ending.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll settle for any ending at all at this point.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[monkeys paw curls] "Any ending? Bad ending it is!"

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I meant what I said, paw!

Any fucking thing that they want to....

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

"Fires agents after they..."

In the article: "it is unclear if the agents were fired or reassigned."

Ffs, why put unverified information in the headline?? They're not doing themselves any favours.
