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!

So he is knowingly, intentionally putting people in serious and mortal danger for his own pleasure. Again, I mean. He's doing it again.

Trump said— thank you, then this is the perfect place to stage another false flag operation.

He's endangering people just to cheat in golf.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 97 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

He’s incredibly predictable. Tell him “Don’t do this or it will be bad…” and he will do it.
“Don’t toss the pandemic response playbook…”.
“Don’t keep those classified documents…”.
“Don’t say stupid racist shit…”.
“Don’t openly praise dictators around the world…”.

Someone should tell him to not take a bath with a toaster.

That poor toaster

Someone should tell him to not take a bath with a toaster.

His bathrooms were built by someone who gave a shit (that probably didn't get paid what they were owed), so his outlets are probably up to code and GFCI, so that probably would just give him a story about how General Electric tried to have him assassinated so that Mr Electric could be president.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Almost all baths are plastic these days. Taking a bath with a toaster will just make the water warmer.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago

There are certain toasters I'd love to take a bath with...Number Three in particular.

This is my favorite photo of Trump and Loomer. He's decrepit, yet fat as fuck somehow.

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

I wonder if she has to take the diaper off first

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

That photo is FAKE NEWS! UNLIKE when Taylor Swift ENDORSED Trump FIRST!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

When do presidents put together model airplanes instead of always this golf hobby bullshit? Get some indoor hobbies yo.

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Being outdoors is fine. Fresh air, vitamin D from the sunlight, make shady deals away from microphones etc

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That is not why they golf though. They want to be seen by the right people in the right places.

[–] svc@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

People with scopes?

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ya. Maybe go check out some of the protected lands that Trump worked so hard to protect.

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

I'd vote for whichever president has the sickest DCS or Farming Simulator setup.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

A hobby that he actively cheats on.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm no security expert but it strikes me that standing in any open field would probably not be advisable for certain... Individuals.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

In this case, I actually agree with Trump, he needs to disregard the advice of security “professionals” as often as possible. Hell, every now and then he should just do the exact opposite of what they tell him, just to keep them on their toes.
