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!

I wish. There would be no surer way of destroying the current Israel, than having this sack of orange shit in the pilot's seat.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 74 points 2 days ago

Well get the fuck gone then.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Nope, he gets to stay right fucking here and stand trial for his crimes.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That list seems out of date. It needs to be at least twice as long now.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I ran out of time looking for one that’s up to date. It’s a good appetizer though.

Lol, no he won't. If he's even charged (which I doubt will happen) his lawyers will delay the trial until he dies.

Assuming his own people don't kill him when Vance is eligible for 2.49 terms.

Yes please. I can’t think of a more deserving country.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 50 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Is he feeling out for places to run and hide in case his election rigging goes south on him?

[–] Radical_Socialist_t00t@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

Obviously, why do you think he sent Ivanka Island-shopping?

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Be funny if he goes to Brazil

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I think he misunderstands the role of the secret service, especially for an ex president. Especially for a recent one.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's no election rigging. Democrats will take the house... maybe the Senate.

Republicans desperately need the D party for damage control, bOtH pArTiEs are symbiotic.

(we'll know tonight!)

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

The GOP always tries to rig it, mostly through voter suppression.

Good riddance. Let no one and nothing stop you!

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

He also said he'd leave the country if he lost to Biden right before he lost to Biden lol

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Mazel tov, Donald!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Normal Americans who were paying attention have been tired of this asshole since the 80s.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago

I'd call sub 40% approval "US being tired of him".

Preferably, he could just keel over already and spare everyone a lot of time.

[–] bertlewirth@lemy.lol 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

IF the us becomes tired of him?? I have some news, trump…..

[–] Foreskinaccordion@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

It's really not just the US.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, so he's planning to flee the jurisdiction?

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

I would have guessed to Russia

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Maybe, but Putin might be facing a coup from the Ukraine stuff.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Go on. Get out of here. Shoo.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He promised we'd never hear from him again if he lost 2020.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 2 days ago

Go on then. Git!

[–] el_twitto@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 days ago

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 10 points 2 days ago

Bye Felicia

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Iran may get the chance to do the funniest thing

If BiBi goes to jail, I’m more in favor of him going there. I really respect countries that hold their leadership and power to account.

[–] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Well go on! Get!

[–] StateMachine@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Hahahahahaha ok

He also claims to be the best president in American history while he's not even the best president since Obama.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Don't threaten me with a good time.

They only like the person who allows them to steal US taxpayer's dollars.

[–] andyburke@kbin.earth 8 points 2 days ago

Resign and do it right now then. 🤷‍♂️

[–] TheWilliamist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Don’t let the door hit your diapered ass on the way out!

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Does he know thst in Israel they do not shy away of putting former PMs in jail

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 7 points 2 days ago

Go. Go now.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Do it then. Then we'll see how you like being threatened with a nuke every other day.
