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!

US brands Donald Trump a "loser" and "traitor" run by "Vladimir Putin".

[–] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he's saying its run by his friends?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to Qanon, it's still run by him, so...

[–] 21kondav@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t want to get too far into the networking of Q but I thought it was run by Obama and the Clintons

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Qposting is still a thing??

[–] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

For once we can agree on something

He’s the pervert and thug

[–] orcrist@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Oh I think pervert is an understatement. The courts have clearly ruled that he's far beyond that level.

He might be right this time

[–] MadBabs@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Broken clocks and all that..

[–] CIWS-30@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well he's not wrong. Especially the Red States....

Like others have said, this is kind of a broken clock is right twice a day kind of situation. Similar to when he said that prescription drug prices are too high.

Edit: The irony being that almost every time he had a "broken clock" moment, Biden was the one who acted on and fixed the issue he was right about. Infrastructure, pharmacy prices, even border security. Joe Biden actually did what Trump constantly promised and never delivered on.

[–] Midnitte@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

While technically not wrong due to the colloquial usage, there's a certain level of irony, given Trump's administrations actions (such as close ties to Russia, leaning towards the dissolution of NATO, etc), and the original definition.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

well yeah, under the current leadership - makes sense really. if we re-elect Trump for a new term in office then the US will just be run by thugs :P

eh, he had his try, can we get someone younger?

[–] Raphael@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] newcolour@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I had not seen it here, so I posted it.
