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!

No wonder ROTUS wants to return to the 1800s when rich white men could rape whoever they wanted.

No lies detected.

Replied the Mango Mussolini, "how DARE you describe me in such a factually accurate manner?!"

Except expressed with all the eloquence, self-awareness, and general emotional maturity of a two year old, of course.

I love this woman. She just kicks ass every day.

Nah, he lacks both the warmth and the depth.

Fine, Blue Waffle Cunt!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 15 points 16 hours ago

By any objective measure, he is the most prolific traitor in American history. He is a worse Traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. The damage he has done to America is incalculable, and possibly irreparable.

Traitor should ALWAYS come first

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung sounded off on Ocasio-Cortez in a statement to the Daily Beast.

“AOC likes to play pretend like she’s from the block, but in reality she’s just a sad, miserable blockhead who is trying to overcompensate for her lack of self-confidence that has followed her for her entire life,” he said. “Instead, she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-sized brain.”

the fact that the White House Communications Director has communication skills on par with a snotty middle schooler is really quite funny. I mean, they all do, but that the communications director sounds like this, you'd think it was an Onion article.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 17 hours ago

LoL PEA SIZED BRAIN this man is HILARIOUS! And it's True she CANT stop Talking about Trump who is the President of the USA at this moment in Time which is SUCH TDS SYNDROME LoL! I'm a Voting Adult!

There’s the projection. Every fucking time.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

To opposing press. Like, it's ond thing to talk that way to your own side, they'll give you the benefit of the doubt usually. But imagine if the Obama administration said such a thing about ol lyin Ted

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

bruh, we live in an onion article.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 3 points 18 hours ago

This onion has way too many layers. I'm lost.

Playing as Oddjob is considered cheating in my house and is therefore banned.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago

I know I SHOULDN'T have laughed at this.... yet I just couldn't fucking help it.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago

He looks like he's having an allergic reaction to life.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Man, I'm used to not believing his quotes are real, but I wasn't expecting to not believe a pic of him was real. That's really him! Guy probably hasn't seen his own penis in years.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So are you saying we could call him Steven “Can’t See Wang” Chueng?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

He always looks like he's recovering from a bunch of bee stings.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Looks alright for a Sontaran from Dr Who.

It’s a strategic thing too. A significant portion of voters can’t read above a fifth or sixth grade level. Politicians sound like middle schoolers because that is what appeals to their voting base.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Republicans have been targeting the fifth grade level for decades now. Trump's innovation was targeting the third grade level.

Reminder that she's not name-calling. A judge had to clarity in court that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.

[–] bdjukemgood@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Not paying to read that

One of the 13 year olds looked just like Ivanka at the time.
