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!

He's just trying to grab whatever money he can get his hands on... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he flees overseas if he loses the election.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago

Russian embassy, I guarantee it.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He'll never admit he's lost the election. He's going to keep doing this and he's going to keep getting away with it. Because reasons

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Conservative Fire Sale.

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully North Korea. Scrap that. Even Lil Kim don't deserve such a calamity.

[–] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Nope. Security risk, can’t let him leave. He can live out the rest of his days desperately clinging to any straw of attention he can get in mar a lago.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of fucking course. Gotta get one last grift in before being labeled a loser again and your fairweather followers stop believing in your bullshit.

PULL THE COPPER FROM THE WALLS!

Dudes in real time trying to wash his financial transactions without raising suspicion towards secret Bitcoin wallets

Lmaooo, wanna know which snake whispered this idea into his head so I can watch them closer

[–] Mcdolan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Probably the same one that has given Alex Jones bitcoin donations a few times.

[–] Nach@midwest.social 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course it's a pump and dump. The question is can you get in and out before the dump?

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Is your last name Trump? If not, you most certainly can’t get out before the dump. I guarantee it.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any half-decent con man should have at least one shitcoin scam on his resume. Do you even grift, bro?

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Doge coin has a $15 billion market cap! If I were Trump I’d try to find a low market cap existing count and corner the market then make up some bs about why that coin is better than the alternative.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Well that makes it official. He's lied and conned and fucked over so many people that he's finally reached the bottom of the barrel. He's out of options.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 months ago

elon must have told him how easy it was to pump and dump with crypto.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Haha. Trump is basically inviting the SEC to sue him. Hopefully, they have the good sense to wait until after the election to do that. The last thing we need is to give Trump more of a martyr complex.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Rug pull? Rug pull.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Zombie Sidney Pointier... get his ass.

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

His golden sneakers of crypto!
