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!

Mike Judge is saying "it was just a comedy, you weren't supposed to use it as a guideline!"

If life is survival of the fittest, US politics reflects the US waistline and its list of perscriptions.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Just a little light treason.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He's the best of the worst who hadn't built up enough of a record to be hated by his own party yet, that's how he got to be second in line to the Presidency.

Just FYI. Politicians are supposed to serve, not rule.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. And this is why I’m not one.

Was referring more to just the inundation of current and past wild shit coming out about him since he got voted in. I should have been more clear.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

Totally fair. I was also thinking about "Hey, why didn't we hear about all this until after he was elected?" Oh yeah, they kind of hustled him through - so fast, in fact, that his own family couldn't get flights in time to join him in Washington for his swearing in. Research takes time.

The American Fascist Party didn't want anyone to have all this shit assembled in one place until it was too late.
