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!

In Trump’s defense, violating sacred places is one of the only things he’s actually good at

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 78 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He's also got quite the knack for disrespecting soldiers.

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 68 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And the dead. Remember when he buried his ex wife at his golf club so it would qualify as a cemetery and get tax exempt status.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how many classified documents are buried with her?

[–] suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You cant sell them if you bury them.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah I'm sure Trump would never excavate a grave for money.

[–] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 27 points 2 months ago

Don’t forget that he excels at cheating on wives, bankrupting businesses, and stealing money from cancer charities (among other notable achievements)

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Or anyone who isn't him. I think he complains that the people who changes his diaper are too rough on him.

Violating women, too

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Violating women ✔️ Violating minorities ✔️ Violating lgbtq+ ✔️ Violating third world countries ✔️ ✅️ Violating federal and state laws ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ Being a treasonous pos while peddling Russian propaganda and their... checks notes... beans? ✔️ x's 10

Violating deceased American war heros graves???? Check ✔️ 😕

Violating the oval office worse that bill and Monica ✔️

Not to mention the many 70 something election/ fraud/ real estate crimes he has committed.

What's next? Is trump gonna break into my house and violate me? Unfortunately he already has, he's violated every single us citizen by infringing upon our rights as Americans and I'll be dammed if I'm gonna let this orange cunt into my house again, bc that's what happens if he wins, we are allowing djt into our homes, our schools, our hospitals and beyond.

My fellow dems, arm yourself, be prepared for the worst

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

arm yourself

Not good enough. You have to practice safety, learn the laws, learn your weapon, put a couple thousand rounds downrange, all that. But thank you for your support, I'm right with ya.

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

And his supporters love him for it.
