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!

They are lining up to get on their knees.

This is when you know acquiring that much wealth and power is a sickness. These assholes could stop "working" today and be just fine. But they need MORE.

Billionaires should not even be a thing. If we truly Make America Great Again, like it's the 1950s, let's just bring back the 92% tax rate on these motherfuckers....

yep, Let them go on record. They are designated fluffers for the new fascist clown. I will enjoy watching them needlessly abase themselves before their master, which is a great visual for the rest of the US to see. Oligarchs receiving their power through the head crime boss. They will be tied to him after this, and if we ever get to an accounting for the oligarchys crimes, they wont be able to wash their hands of anything.

This is legit like lords travelling to the coronation of the king they heaved on the throne, to kiss his ring and remind him whom he depends on.

They're gonna take turns putting Trump's dick in their mouths.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

They'll be taking Eric and trumpjr's in their mouths as well. That'll be some good tv. Someone should suggest that trump wear some sort of ermine cape and a crown and sceptre. Itd at least be more honest than whatever ceremony they have planned.

I bet they throw elbows on who goes first.

Seeing that picture is not how I expected to start my day.

First two are no shock. I was not expecting Bezos though.

He was bending the knee even before the election.
