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 so petty and horribly unprofessional. He never stops horrifying me

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Why are Republicans cheering this behavior on? The video wasnt well done, the message is tone deaf (a president should not be seeking to harm their own citizens) and trump is already dumping loads of shit on everyone, that's why we were out there protesting in the first place.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 162 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Oh cool. Our president lacks any form of humility or introspection.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 101 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure we already knew that. He's a piece of shit. Always has been. Always will be.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 50 points 3 days ago

It's don fucking trump, guy has been one of the most self aggrandizing blowhards for as long as I remember hearing the name going back to the 80s.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

A campaign that began with "Owning the Libs" and triumphed on "Owning the Libs" appears to continue to fixate on "Owning the Libs" to maintain public support.

"Embarrassing racist addled old rapist has a diaper explosion. Crowds horrified by the stench."

I can't believe this is accepted behavior now.

Also: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES PEDONALD

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 122 points 3 days ago (6 children)

lol .... far into the future ... Americans will remember famous quotes and lines from presidents like JFK, Eisenhower ... even Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Obama

... and all anyone will remember about this idiot is just how dumb and stupid he was and how dumb and stupid America was to put him and keep him in power.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you (time to gatekeep!) actually care about history during 20th century, you will rapidly realize that hitler and his cronies were all batshit insane lunatics.

If you grew up on The History Channel you will think he was 'quirky" and spew bullshit like how Rommel was actually a very honorable man and blah blah blah.

History isn't just written by the victors. But it sure as fuck tends to be presented by the assholes who deserve a lead pipe to the face.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Weren’t hitler and co. constantly on loads of drugs too?

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean... basically everyone was back then. Everyone knows the fun fact that Coca Cola used to contain cocaine. Fewer people think about the implications of that or how soda was generally sold at the pharmacy.

But yeah. nazi leadership is generally accepted to have been on WAY more drugs than most of their contemporaries.

[–] BruisedMoose@piefed.social 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you're just trying to illustrate some point or intentionally trying to link Hitler and Coca-Cola. But Coke was down to trace amounts of cocaine by 1904 and none before 1930.

Meth had recently been invented so lots of Germans were tweaking the fuck out, especially during the beginning. The blitzkrieg was literally a bunch of methed up Germans. Hitler had a quack who in addition to shooting him up with meth and other stims, was also loading him up with hormones extracted from bull testicles and other wacko shit like that.

I really expected almost anything from his second term when he got elected again, but I can honestly say I did not expect him to release a video in which he outright shits on the American people.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trump's been figuratively shitting on the American people for a decade. Now he posted an AI video of him literally shitting on them.

Just in case you were having doubts about what you were protesting against.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 37 points 3 days ago

nose out of the mask like its covid lockdown in a red state

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 68 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Um. Just when I thought nothing surprises me anymore. He's also wearing a crown in that video. Way to prove that you really want nothing to do with this whole "King" business.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 43 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The plane also says "King trump" on the side of it

So, we kind of need a hero at this point. He (his staff) makes shit like this and then "haha, it's just a joke" liberals do far worse.

There needs to be worse, it needs to happen. Someone's gotta throw up some AI vids of Trump prancing around with kids, JD fucking a couch, Noem blasting dogs, Johnson and his secret porn room. We've got the content, it's gotta be used. It's gotta be blasted everywhere followed with, "haha it's just a joke".

Sure South Park is taking bites, and there's the Trump/Epstein statue, but we need more. Gold has to be the focus, not these little nibbles for bronze in terms of insults. It's gotta be plastered everywhere. Time square, the Vegas globe, etc. At this point ya gotta fight back and stop this high road shit.

Something that a pre-teen would think think of.

Man I hope when he kicks the bucket, his wife comes out with a bunch of dirt, and talks shit about him.🙏

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 14 points 3 days ago

My wife and I often talk about how he is just so opposite obama. On the one side you had an educated, hip, young (for a president), classy president in pretty good shape with one bad habit (smoking) and on the other you have the purchased degreed, lame, old, tacky, fat president with no end of bad habits. His meme postings are the online tech equivalent of fart noises.

He's such a child and it's embarrassing how many love him for it

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 45 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Does he realize the whole world can see him? He is humiliating the USA.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Dude, yes, that’s the point. that’s his lifeblood, why he exists.

The United States “stole” his rich pedo lifestyle from him. He’s a narcissist and hellbent on revenge. Everything; everything he does is to make this country into a shithole, to turn it into a backwater dumpster fire of suffering and authoritarianism that we thought we’d all be safe from, because we “stole” his little naked child fucking time from him and he’s literally just lashing out and taking away from us what in his mind we took from him.

If he understood what people liked, he'd be doing that...

This is the best he can do, something that only the dumbest and most immature would like.

More than anything, Trump's always wanted NYC to love him.

It's like when a woman gracefully rejects a weirdo, so they start screaming and crying about how they never liked her anyways.

trump doesn't hate blue cities, he hates that the people who live there don't live him. It's the driving motivation of his whole life

Thank you for choosing the way that we will desecrate your corpse when the national guard do their job.

While wearing a crown.

"We don't have Kings here, we have a President! Take that librards!"

Fucking idiots.

Time to shut this economy fucking down

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah until essential employees are taking days off work to protest, this administration of billionaires and wanna-be billionaires won't care very much.

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Until people figure out taking days off work is the protest.

The general strike is the protest. That is what Americans need to figure out because the only downside to a strike is not enough people striking.

People drive by people holding signs. When they get to the fast food drive through and find out it's closed then people start asking questions.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

The most unbelievable thing is that he could actually get into and fit in that aircraft.

[–] modestmeme@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (3 children)

MAGA has the emotional maturity of ten year old children who are both spoiled and a bit slow.

And imagine how loud they’d yell if anyone, let alone a prominent leader, posted something in which the Donald is shat upon.

So cringeworthy but on brand.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago

We need adults in charge. He should open a zoo and be the main attraction.

Even AI trump doesn’t know how to wear a mask 😂

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think the person who did this, is slightly not understanding their overall base. They get their 20 year old dude, white nationalist base, but not the overall. Thus, this was stephen miller and trump is really sick. This is a distraction that misses the mark.

I think we should just have a contest to see who can get that man-child to post the most embarrassingly cringe shit.

Bonus points if you sneak in elements critical of him or his cabinet, antifa slogans, LGBTQ+ symbols, etc.
