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!

Just like you’re entitled to a speedy trial. Using, abusing, and manipulating your entitlements has ramifications regardless of having them.

The dipshit who stares at the Sun during a solar eclipse and refused to use masks during a pandemic wants to start throwing charges of stupidity around? Alright then!

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago

Damn look at that Dow Jones average shoot to the moon! That's winning, right, Donnie Two Scoops?! That's the measure you constantly yammered about for the past 10 years now.

The stock market this, the stock market that.

You're fucking weird, Don. Standing at your golf club with a stack of coffee and sausage yammering about nothing.

He sounds like he’s getting tired

[–] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

Oh, he’s pooped all right…

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

That's so self defeating and old. But it's the only thing he knows how to do. I predict he'll do the same thing in his debate with her and she'll vaporize him.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 16 points 3 months ago

So are we, Diaper Don 👶

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I enjoyed watching him regress into "I know you are but what am I?" by the end of that clip. Kamala's really getting to him.

Pathetic. Hrs such a weird loser

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

He’s right. He’s entitled, constitutionally, to say all sorts of stupid shit. And voters are entitled to judge him accordingly.

We have great people. Susie is fantastic, as you know, and Chris is fantastic. They’re leading it. Corey Lewandowski is coming in. He’ll be, you know, personal envoy, or he’ll be at some at some level. They’re doing a great job. Look, we’ve taken with all of the abuse we’ve taken from the fake news media, all of this horrific abuse we take. And all I want to do is make the country great.

Can't wait till a few months from now when those people he's naming have been fired, or charged with some crime and Trump acts like he doesn't know them, or insists he always knew they were garbage after they turn on him and appear on MSNBC.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Lewandowski's already been charged with battery on a couple of occasions, but they were misdemeanour charges and never went to trial.

[–] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Lewandowski was already fired by Trump back in 2016. They must be getting really desperate if they're rehiring him.

[–] Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

What a loser!

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah that's it, say you're entitled to things. Next conference call yourself a snowflake.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence is a very special snowflake. The most delicate snowflake. It's really sad how far the dementia is progressing, he should drop out and seek treatment, it's just embarrassing at this point.
