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!

Big words from a guy who can no longer make it through a whole interview without shitting himself

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

He can’t even make it through any interview period. He’s cancelling them left and right now.

“Mark Cuban is a Loser,” Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. “Wouldn’t take his phone calls anymore while at the White House, and he went rogue. A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”

lol even trump's insults are getting worse.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

There's zero chance Trump can swing a golf club faster than someone 12 years younger and in much better shape than him. Even so, club speed is pretty far from the most important aspect of golf.

However, the funniest part of that post is that he thinks calling out low club speed is a sick burn to hit someone with that most people can relate to. That's so out of touch he might as well be trying to talk trash by saying Cuban's mansion only has 8 bathrooms in it.

[–] GottaKnowYourCHKN@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

What's even funnier is Cuban can probably invite most people to play Golf and have them accept and be excited for it.

A weak and pathetic ‘bully,’ he’s got nothing going. Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!

He's not even good at insults anymore. I mean, I never thought he was good at it, but it had a specific style and vibe. I wonder if his idiot followers are even enjoying these anymore.

Does Trump think of himself as an athlete? Lmao

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago


A fierce athlete, with amazing sportsmanship.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

the dude cheats at golf, driving around in a golf course and waddling four steps to fake whacking a ball... and he criticizes somebody else for being a bad athlete?

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Wayyy past the number of corporate billionaires I'd be comfortable having in politics, and for them to go from lobbying in the background to centre stage is worrying.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I wonder if Warren Buffett is going to weigh in too? Maybe he's waiting for a louder endorsement than he usually makes, closer to election day.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

People are running out of time, early voting is under way in some states.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah.

I know hes aging, but its odd that he would sit this election out, out of any election, especially when he can actually influence districts in his state.

[–] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I voted today!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I voted... like a few weeks ago.

"Elon Musk told me it's a good idea to call out Cuban for being a billionaire getting involved in politics. So I'm taking time out of my busy schedule of dodging interviews and swaying to old music so I can follow his advice."

Weird reverse cheeto racoon.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Trudeau got in trouble for blackface costumes but nobody cares when Trump clownfaces.
