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!

Projection has become a hallmark of today's Republican party. At any time a GOP lawmaker is accused of something, they and their surrogates quickly turn to accusing a Democrat of doing the same thing.

To save everyone time, I'll list all the criminal indictments that Joe Biden is currently facing:

And that's it. Boy, that list took so long to compile!

They aren't even trying to hide it anymore

No Lara, that would be your father in law who's doing that.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 18 points 11 months ago

Right, because as we all know, under no other circumstances and for no other reasons would an incumbent run again.

I hate that these people get any air time.

Every accusation- a confession.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

It sure is terrifying watching one of our two political parties slip quickly into psychosis and delusion, all to geab power by electing a fascists. Boy howdy is there anything we can do?

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

[–] 667@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

Every accusation is an admission.

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

For doing what? Not having an (R) next to his name? Believe it or not, that's legal

It's just standard conservative projection. She's saying that because Trump is running to avoid going to prison.

Is there an academy where these people all go and learn the same behaviours?

It’s a classic fascist tactic; accuse your opponent of that which you yourself are guilty of

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

So this is just them admitting that this is what Trump’s doing, right?

[–] Cosmicomical@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Elected because he could apply his management skills in managing the the nation, runs for president to avoid prison... wasn't berlusconi dead?
