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!

Biden called Trump a loser multiple times. Pointed out every single fucked up thing he's said and done. Biden went hard against Trump. This is the most I've seen him on the offensive. Keep this shit up!

But did he slam Trump? I can't get riled up about a story without a good slam.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Slam? I'm holding out for an evisceration.

Knowing how chummy these war criminals get with each other after office, it’ll probably be a friendality.

[–] meatwads_tooth@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

He definitely goes off.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I’d rather hear what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it than be told shit we already know.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Look to the Democratic Party platform if you want to know what he'll aspire to. What he can actually do will be constrained by the Congress we elect and by the courts

[–] nix@merv.news 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Hasn’t been restrained by Congress when he bypasses it to fund a genocide but for anything else suddenly he has zero power

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

The President has a bunch of explicit power around military decisions.

That's not the same as being able to just go do anything.

[–] aew360@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah because Republicans wanted that. Do you not understand civics? They don’t want anything else that actually helps America
