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!

I'm "open" to Donald Trump getting locked in the VX gas vault like that dude at the beginning of The Rock.

I would also "accept" Nicholas Cage slamming some in his mouth like that dude at the end of The Rock.

Everyone, go watch The Rock.

Incorrect, that is the ”string of pearls” configuration.

[–] skeptomatic@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

"Shtring of pearlsh"

Not enough mentions of Zeus’ butthole for my taste. I need at least 2 more utterances of the phrase before I can watch it again.

Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Oh you see, it's you. You're the rocket man!

[–] Bubs12@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Carla was the prom queen.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Listen, all I want to know is...are you happy with your haircut?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Is this the third prong of a three prong attack? Subliminal, liminal and superliminal. "HEY, YOU! JOIN THE NAVY!"

[–] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are we just doing house of cards now

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

He is. He probably thinks he's smarter than everyone else acting it out too.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Well shit, I'm open to being his vice president too. Why wouldn't anyone take the job? Now that being president surrounds you with a bubble of legal immunity, the vice president is free to grant himself a good old fashioned Klingon promotion. Stab him in the neck with a pen, sign some papers with his blood in an official act, and all the evidence is inadmissible.

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If chosen for Vice President I vow to go out and rob a liquor store on Day 1.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Id take advantage of that level of proximity and...well...

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You just have to do everything he tells you and never go against him otherwise he'll get his idiotic followers to try and kill you.

[–] JohnOliver@feddit.dk 23 points 4 months ago

Its beginning to show, that politicians no longer need to have any skill what so ever besides the ability to not care

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Which ex-wife?

Ans.

spoilerMarla Maples

[–] Sumocat@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Has to be Marla. Ivana is buried in his New Jersey golf course. Not a joke.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

~~Ivana is~~ A bunch of the secrets he stole from the government are buried in his New Jersey golf course.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Why did you bury your wife on the golf course? It would help me avoid taxes.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Shit. I missed that. Thank you.

[–] snow_bunny@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is the most beta thing I've ever heard.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe she wants to be grabbed by the pussy smh

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 10 points 4 months ago

That picture confused me because I thought she was wearing a MAGA hat in the 90s.

[–] Xell22@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

The one that's alive, yeah?........ yeah?

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well that's one way to have him kill you
