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 Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.

“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.

“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

All this time/effort organizing around him when a 5 minute Google search would have shown you he'd pledge unquestioning support for Netanyahu

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 8 points 34 minutes ago

Not to mention Trump's "sharpie realignment" of Israel's border during his last term. These people have rocks in their heads if they thought this was going to go any other way.

This is what I don't get.

Trump is like everyone's marvel superhero, he's whatever they imagine they want, the alternative to everyone else... Even very legitimate and thought out criticism can somehow conclude with supporting Trump when that makes no sense.

[–] HostilePasta@lemmy.ml 1 points 28 seconds ago

No way. The guy who said he'd give Netanyahu a blank check to destroy Gaza opposes Islam? Color me fucking shocked.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 19 points 2 hours ago

Trump unleashing the leopards to eat the people’s faces.

Exactly as he promised.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 hours ago

Voting has consequences. The time to wake the fuck up was two weeks ago. I guess the next best time is now.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 160 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

No fucking shit.

Go fuck yourself.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

It’s not like they weren’t warned.

"Hey, asshole. Shut up and get on the plane."- Trump Administration to this chucklefuck in a couple months.

You voted for this, you stupid motherfucker. Now you get to enjoy the ride like the rest of us.

There won't be planes, or deportations. There will only be caged slave laborers in concentration camps owned by his friends, with the government (read taxpayers) paying the rent month after month, year after year.

They're the sort of assholes who'd only have ham sandwiches on the flight

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 91 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face!

I mean what did they expect? Yes, i didn’t agree with Bidens current policy or what Kamala was going to do, but I knew trump would be worse.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 1 points 37 seconds ago

If you try to point it out, then you are being a mean Democrat and that makes them want to vote against everyones interests even more.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 25 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Man, Americans are so fat even our leopards overeat.

I honestly have no idea how any Muslim could vote for Trump unless they were completely ignorant. He is not their friend by any stretch of the imagination. It's not going to end well for them.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago

Conservative religious beliefs and ignorance often go hand-in-hand.

[–] WaxiestSteam69@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

What were they expecting? He showed everyone who he was and they still voted for him.

How could any Muslim think Trump would not be bad for them.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 42 points 4 hours ago

Why oh why didn't anyone warn them?

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 26 points 3 hours ago (14 children)

These are not smart people.

Enjoy watching the genocide of your people, you'll be next, so instead of crying crocodile tears why don't you do something PROACTIVE about it.

All the information is on the task card, you have two months, your time starts now.
