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!

The cult will never stop supporting him. They just needed time to get their favorite pundit's talking points delivered straight to their mashed-potato brains.

This always happens the cult gets restless then falls back into line.

The other option is to realize they’re been fooled for a decade now and that won’t happen.

They've finished downloading enough of the new narrative to resume playback. They're like realplayer in the 1990s, sometimes they have to buffer for a bit before operating normally again.

Real had an office near ours when I worked in SF during the dotcom bubble. We'd walk past their loading dock and the company brand placard at that entrance always had a sheet of paper with BUFFERING written on it thanks to some brilliant motherfucker.

I think at this point most MAGA want to watch Trump fuck kids and beat off to it.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He could rape a child on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters.

What’s happening right now is exactly why I always said Putin didn’t have any blackmail underage piss tapes. Because even if he released them it wouldn’t matter. The cult would still support him and there would be no legal consequences. Exactly what we see now.

They’d pay to watch! Golden Shower Ticket!

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

At this point the planet is just a 12 year old girl on Epstein’s island

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

MAGAs are all cucks, spread the word.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Nah, cucks are just dudes who like to watch their partners get fucked. Maga are depraved sickos.

We LOVE Jeffrey Epstein defenders!

-Republicans!

We have ALWAYS said that Epstein killed himself.

-Republicans

Wait, thing #7764580753223554525 that's really gonna bring Trump down for seriously this time... Didn't? I'm shocked. Shocked!

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Even if trump choked on a hamberder and expired tomorrow billionaires would find a way to drive his anamatronic corpse to continue playing snake charmer to these idiots. They're utterly committed to whatever worldview is fed to them via their propaganda fire hose and they're never, ever, going to admit that the world is a big scary place full of hard problems that don't have simple comforting solutions like "illegal brown people stealing all the jerbs" or "the tariff button will fix everything, trust me bro."

Support your local pedo.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

If the full shit was released today and it contained irrefutable evidence that he anally raped a 12-year old blonde girl whom he called “ivanka”, the MAGAts would jizz themselves.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

I assume most high profile maga figures are in this game for the money through influence, they are sort of the lower level leeches of the Trump system. They help keep Maga in line while making some money out of it. So my assumption is they stirred the pot hoping for some bribes and then got it and found a sorry excuse to pretend like they reunited.

I could see this coming. I posted two different headlines, one from Politico EU and one from Politico US only. They are significantly different:

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

I think they diserve their leader...

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

This just means Trump got Bezos in line. He's still suing Murdoch over Epstein.
