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!

Ugh, that's not worth the watch. They're still kissing his ass for dear life, they just had to change into different programming. The article made it sound as if Fox News for a brief moment recognized that Trump is huge senile weirdo. They did not.

I feel dirty for having watched that. What a sleezy bunch of corporate assholes.

I never watch any Fox News content, because I don't hate myself.

In fact, I avoid video footage of Trump in general. He's creepy and gross, with a whiny annoying voice.

[–] aasatru@kbin.earth 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah, me too. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I have heard Trump's voice this election cycle, as I was curious if it was an early sign that the Murdoch empire might start turning its back to him.

It is not, and I immediately regretted wasting time on it and giving it attention. At least I learned about the existence of Gutfeld, a right-wing attempt at a satire news talkshow (?), and now I want to puke.

I turn stuff off when it goes to Trump. I have heard enough of what he has to say for the rest of my life.

You forgot weird.

There are only 2 Trump videos I rewatch from time to time :

Trump says “China”

&

Life Accordion to Trump

Thanks for braving that slop. I had no intention of hearing what I knew would piss me off more than it's worth.

[–] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Certainly not, but it does result in hilarious headlines like this one, and you just KNOW that he’s seeing them and it’s got him fuming.

Dude just did a line and as of 6am this morning he was still talking

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't give him so much credit, his heart would explode

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Don't give him credit for having a heart to explode.

That's how that crowd turns on people, they're friendly with their words but not their actions. Fox is just using Trump as a prop now to go against anyone left of Mitt Romney.
