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!

Because he had raped and trafficed children with Jeffery Epstien?

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

At this point he'd perform a nuclear test in Yellowstone to distract from Epstein.

chuds hate science.

it keeps proving them wrong. whether that's lies about lgbtq folk, lies about the climate, lies about the economy, it keeps presenting facts that they cannot spin.

The damage this admin has already done to science are manifold:

  • cutting research across the board
  • cutting funding for education, so there are fewer people who can pursue a career in science.
  • attacking immigrants that fuel our science based economy.
  • enabling idiots like RFK to gut the CDC, vaccines, and worse.

the chuds HATE science and want to punish this country by gutting it's economy and educational institutions. make no mistake, it's all down to the facts not agreeing with their lies.

fuck that's despressing. fuuuuuu

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah. And note, that's two separate events, not two articles about the same event.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Predating Galileo even.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Nah, it's not hatred for anything. They mostly don't give a shit about anything and anyone but themselves.

All this has only one reason: money and power for themselves and their friends.

The goal justifies the means, so they'll throw their own mother in the grinder if it means they get a little richer.

"Look how well the economy is doing!"

"Sir...actually, never mind."

[–] oyzmo@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Save u a click "When you don't like the message, what do you do? You shoot the messenger, of course."

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Because it saw what he and Epstein did to those kids?

[–] SW42@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Because he is a moron with no grasp on the importance of science?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because he respects the beliefs of the native Hawaians.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Holy shit this is the funniest post I've ever seen on this site

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dictators always run a country into the gutter.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

At this point in order to fix things it seems like we'd need someone to break all the norms in the other direction. Like after orange mussolini (if there is an after), the prez needs to call dumping billions of dollars into ICE (for example) illegal and fire all of them, even if it's supposed to go through congress.

Somehow I don't hold out much hope of that happening though.
