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!

It's looking more and more like full blown dementia.

Can this guy's life just...end please?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Naturally I might add, last thing we need is to turn him into a Martyr.
Then again, I imagine no matter how he dies and no matter what age, the right are still going to claim that the liberals assassinated him.

Volunteering as tribute could be taken as a benefit to humanity in general.

Doesn't need to end he just needs to be sent to Siberia with no phone. We don't have to hear him anymore and he can shove his nose so far up Putins ass he can smell state secrets, win-win

His bronzer (or whatever the fake tan stuff is) looks extra bad in that photo.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Doesn't even look like him for some weird reason...

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Like how he redid NAFTA or something? He just wants to redo all the big political inventions in our history so his name is on them.

This has to be satire. Right?

Nottheonion.

This is clearly an impersonator, trump would never use the word United

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I think his idea of United is for him to speak and everyone to clap..

[–] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Also, his ego would insist he call it "Trumpmerica"

[–] TechyDad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In his mind, everyone should unite behind him and praise everything he does. Criticizing him out working against him ruins the "united" and thus should be illegal.

Did anyone remember to bring their Trump Translator? I think I left mine in my car.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Trumpanese to English dictionary

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

he's gonna need an entirely new reality where he's not in a federal penitentiary

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Imagining a future where he loses his court cases, but in order to take him into custody, we set up a fake election that he "wins" so we can slap the cuffs on him at a fake inauguration.

Like those sting operations where they tell a bunch of felons they won a prize, they just have to come down and collect it.

[–] APassenger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

His tactic will be to appeal until he dies or wins on a technicality/bad judgment.

We need to be ready for what his appeal attempts will look like and not be naive about 2024.
