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 mind there's no objective laws or standards that apply to everyone, all punishment and reward is subjective, transactional, and doled out based on what team they're on and what stands to be gained.

The guy takes solipsism to a whole new level

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

If you can call that quickly decaying mush a "mind".

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

That's Republicanism. They want the white supremacist hierarchy. Laws which bind others but they are not subject to.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Gym Jordan, is that you?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 39 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

“schlonged” by the left.

I think it was him that did the schlonging.

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 16 points 4 weeks ago

This has to be satire, right?!

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 32 points 4 weeks ago

Rapist is upset other rapist went to jail for rape.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 30 points 4 weeks ago

Well, yeah. He believes wealthy people should be allowed to rape without consequence. He's been pretty clear about that.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

Epstein's rapist buddies stick together.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Let's play a game.

Which word here should be etched in stone to summarize this era for the survivors:

In this corner, the entry from half of America's chosen politician referring to a convicted sexual predator: SCHLONGED

And in this corner, the entry from the media: BONKERS

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I hate to admit it, and I have not dug around in my own head to understand why, but this guy saying SCHLONGED just takes me out every time it comes up. It's not funny but it kills me.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

It gives me the willies.

Some how Trump always sees good people when it comes to people that are total garbage.
