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!

I think everyone forgot how fast the Trump team rotated during his government (what was the name of that guy that lasted 10 days? Moochie?) in comparison to Biden's government, where AFAIK, there's haven't been a lot of changes on his team.

And if he replaces couchfucker, he'll remind everyone of how unstable a Trump presidency is.

Trump voters are unstable people looking to destabilize government. They don't need to be reminded of that

Do you know anyone who is undecided? I don't think there's any left at this point but the media is always talking about them as if there are tons of them.

I'm not downvoting you by the way.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I mean, polls are still changing.

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

Do you know anyone who is undecided?

Do you know all 300 million Americans? Polls say there's a large undecided amount. Statistically, a good third of the nation doesn't care about politics at all, including whether fascists take over the country.

We don't know any people like this, because how goddamn ignorant do you have to be? To not care? We wouldn't associate with people like that. But they exist and there's a lot of them.

Anthony Scaramucci: My favorite slimeball. Saw the other CHUDs in the Trump administration and then bounced after eleven days after realizing that "the juice ain't worth the squeeze". I wouldn't turn my back on him, but I would trust him over all other Trump world alumni since he has enough self preservation not to burn the world around him.

Edit: He had an unhinged interview with a reporter and was dismissed a couple days after. Go listen to the audio; I'm laughing so god damn hard at it.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't he fired after an unhinged cocaine infused interview?

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

That sounds like him.

Anyone have the sauce? This sounds like a fun thing to watch today lmao

I'm laughing so hard at this. What a shit show of a presidency.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Just listened. Lol. What. The. Fuck. 🤣

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's busy trying to become Bitcoin Mark Cuban - how could he walk away from such an excellent and surely long-lasting show!

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

What a buffoon.

NOTE: Moochie died on the way back to his home planet

Lower staff have resigned due to Israeli bombing and extrajudicial killings in Palestine. But the rank and file directors have stayed pretty consistent.
