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 make sure the night before you do that, you go to the all-you-can-eat mexican buffet and have the refried chicken bean burro with the fire salsa beef stew.

His children will bury him on a golf course for the tax benefits.

It’s a lot of fun watching him squirm.

He can't die before putting on that orange jumpsuit. If he died in office in his last term I'd have allowed it.

What is the difference in stressed and overstressed? I keep seeing people add "over" as a prefix and it confuses me

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Normal stress - running an election and having your entire game plan thrown out the window because the guy you were calling too old to run quit. Now you're losing to a woman that is also black. Two things that you clearly can't stand because you're a piece of shit.

Overstress - You realize you're very likely going to lose and that means you're fucked. You have 34 felonies and a bunch more shit to face in courts and you will go to jail. Your money taken from you to pay people you fucked over and that list is long. This is the kind of stress that drugs can't get you to sleep through.
