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!

Lol what a loser and puppet of heritage and other dark money run trash that has been brainwashing people since the 70s. All part of their plan to insert their disproven and failed policies as normal and equal to what is shown to actually work best for people, and they would never give up the public goods that reduce false scarcity. Their funded groups churn out the lies and propaganda for dim-witted people to fall for over and over, but never admit they were wrong, low integrity folks be like that.

It's much easier understanding them when you view the Republican Party as a crime organization. It's organized crime, that's it.

Like a mob family.

Still better than being Mr Tariff and Mr Pedo. Tell him his terms are acceptable.

He’s at the dementia stage where he signs anything when a pen is handed to him. He’s not making his own decisions any longer.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately he has enough handlers to keep him doing roughly what they want him to do.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

like when turtle man nearly voted wrong.

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago

How about Mr. inmate? Let’s try that out instead…

[–] artyom@piefed.social 26 points 1 day ago

I mean that implies he would not veto something if they did. Which is obviously not true. So an empty threat, keep voting.

[–] Speltrong@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Okay. I mean it’s expected. But hopefully congress will start checking your balances.

IKR? He seems to think we want Republican legislation. Every leftist was furious when Schumer ended the shutdown.
