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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

That's a surprise, I thought no matter what he'd get the support and endorsement of the Na-

Oh, it says "Mazi", my mistake.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

On the one hand, Mazi is both black and Jewish, so that could be taken as pretty offensive.

On the other hand, she very proudly served in the IDF and is fanatically pro-Israel, so maybe that's more accurate than she would care to admit.

Dear Mr. Trump, if you want to be loved, please announce that you are stepping down from politics, social media, any possition of power you have, and are retiering forever.

If you want to be extra loved, please donate enough money to a charity called something like "Trump recovery", so that it can build recovery centers all over MAGA/Q areas where people can be rehabilitated from the Trump campaign nonsense by experts, you can't have any control over it. If you do this you can truly make america great again.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

See, the thing is, Trump has a really stunted vocabulary, so while he said "I want to be loved", what he meant was "I want to be worshipped".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think he just forgot the word "daddy" at the end

Considering how previous Trump "charities" have been run, that might not be the best plan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

That's where the "you can't have any control over this" bit comes in.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (7 children)

One day soon this malignant tumor of a man will drop dead. We need to plan accordingly.

Moët or Dom Perignon?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Please let him spend at least one day behind bars before that happens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Which has a bigger bottle? Which bottle is bigger is important. That means more to piss on his grave.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

I'll just eat so much taco bell that I'll be pissing out of my ass on to his grave.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

There better be some fuckin fireworks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Dom is too dry 

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can drink what you want but if he dies before seeing the inside of the jail cell then the US will never come back from this. The next one to capture his lunatic base won't be as impulsive, undisciplined, or ignorant.

I wish this guy would get in a submarine

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I say we put him, Musk and Bezos in a rocket and send them to Mars. If the ship doesn't make it, oh well. If it does, they can stay there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fuck sending it to Mars, the sun looks good for them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but if you tell Elon it's Mars, maybe you can lure him into the rocket without kidnapping him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not seeing the fun in that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Less fun, but not as difficult.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Hmm, yes. Higher chance of success. Logic takes away all the joy, but is successful in the long term. I think I understand Vulkans now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

I still can't get over his quote from October about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" the man sounds more like Hitler than Hitler.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

I am so very sick of these utterly worthless republican parasitic traitors. Fucking launch them all into the sun.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wonder who does his makeup

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, but they're being overpaid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume they're getting paid

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Would you touch that face for free?

So do I, but I'm not about to throw any tantrums over it.
