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!

Those people need to be compassionate, get him out of the public spotlight, and help him retire in a way where he can live out his days in a space where his decreasing lucidity can be properly managed and cared for. He's a frail, confused old man and the sooner his handlers accept that, the better off we all have a chance to be.

*edit: prison is an acceptable place for this as far as I'm concerned, to be clear

NAH, fuck that. The fucker deserves to die miserable in jail.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Eh if they accelerate him croaking by parading him around ill take it. Not as sweet as prison nor as funny as the Mussolini special but acceptable. I have no sympathy for fascists no matter how decrepit.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we’ll Gadaffi him

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I, on the other hand, hope he suffers :D

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well first, his cronies DGAF about him, he's just a stepping stone for their own gain. Second, I really doubt Bonespurs will ever face tangible consequences for his whole destructive existence. He'll continue to delay, delay, delay, have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever. On the plus side, the scrambling rats clawing each other apart to fill the giant void should keep the GOP in chaos for years.

I'm pretty sure the Republicans who keep getting really close to him at really last min situations and almost assassinate him have something to do with this...
