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!

reminds me of when GOP chuds posted photos of riots with a caption saying "this is what bidens america will look like!" except trump was the president at the time of the photos

Anyone else remember "Biden's supermarkets" from spring 2020?

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think I see a pattern....

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Most of those are due to COVID. Not that he didn't make it all worse...

Everything 2018 is pre covid. It's called Ovid 19 because it was discovered in 2019.

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes. And the US market didn't really sink until Feb '20. So all those '19s still aren't covid related

Gonna nitpick: of course point drops are highest now cause the Dow is the highest now. Give me the list of the highest percentage drops.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Remember day after he got elected the stock markert went up, it made me realize people sucks more than i thought at speculating

[–] JoKi 1 points 3 months ago

After DOW recovered during covid time, True claimed the big rise while ignoring the massive drops.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 21 points 3 months ago

I prefer the inverse of Trump's January claim: The stock market is crashing because they think Trump is going to lose. 📉 🥳

Are there any lawyers in here who could write a "politicians are not allowed to say easily disproven things in a public forum any more" law?

Something where we can legally tell morons to shut up and then they actually have to

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Does anyone else remember not long after the orange turd took office he tried taking all the credit for the current state of the US economy and got laughed at?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

Oh shit, you know what? It's not that a bunch of AI hype bullshitters have bullshit services to sell and tech companies had bad quarters. It's all because of the presidential admin. I never would have thought to equate bad business with politics, but the orange man said it so it must be true!
