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!

LOL, go for it, spoiler-boy.

[–] ringwraithfish@startrek.website 18 points 8 months ago (4 children)

He'd have trouble spoiling meat sitting in the sun. He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago

He out-crazied MAGA, no one wants anything to do with him.

I'm not yet convinced such a thing is possible.

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

No, his scamming was just second class, and we know how much the GOP feels about people being bad at scamming.

[–] ringwraithfish@startrek.website 6 points 8 months ago

Great observation! MAGA likes to be blindfolded when they're being fucked.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

And having class

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 5 points 8 months ago

He out-crazied MAGA

No, he fits perfectly within the MAGA crazy.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 1 points 8 months ago

Mad Margie would take issue with that statement.

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

If this weren't real life that it'd make a great premise for a comedy show.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 29 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I hate the guy, but he was hilarious.

Where did you get that baby, George? Whose baby was that?

Stupid autocorrect. I swear, it’s getting worse, correcting words that are spelled correctly. It’s driving me crazy.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

I went and disabled it. Still annoying but easier to see my mistakes thanks to the red squiggles.

[–] tills13@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This isn't what we meant when we asked for a three or more party system.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 18 points 8 months ago

If this is how we get ranked choice voting and more than 2 options… fuck it, I’ll take it!

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

But it is what he thought you said, and really that is all that matters to him.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey it’s that one drag queen!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 40 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Don’t be mean to drag queens! His defining feature is “criminal and scam artist”

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's such a shame that we are making fun of a WW2 veteran instead of providing him the mental help he needs

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably the trauma of losing his mother in 9/11 that really did him in

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

As a qualified doctor ans psychiatrist, you’d think he would have recognised the signs.

[–] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 12 points 8 months ago

True it’s not fair to the drag queens to be in the same group as this bozo

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

OP simply fell victim to autocorrect. He meant to say dead queen as he is in fact the late Queen Elizabeth.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Being a criminal fraud and scam artist is what makes him appealing to maga republicans. Wearing pretty dresses and makeup makes him unacceptable to republicans.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

They don't seem to care as long as he acts like a piece of shit

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This guy may be one of the few people I'd trust the Republican party over when they start pointing accusationary fingers at each other claiming the other is a fraud and a lier.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I’d trust him to pull some hilarious stunt, like run down the main corridors of the Capitol building carrying a tiger cub, screaming, “NO COMMENT! NO COMMENT!” then run into an elevator, dodging shocked reporters, or something crazy-ass shit like that, lol.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You mean to tell me he didn't do that already?

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

He did it with a human baby. Whose baby remains unknown.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Is he growing out that neck beard to look the part?

[–] Aesculapius@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Isn’t he going to be too busy defending himself against the Feds? I’m pretty sure he will be in Federal pound me in the ass prison before long.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I for one think we should support our three time hackeysack world champion who also invented biscuits and gravy.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Don’t forget world champion underwater basket weaver

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So when the election results come in, we’ll get detailed, specific numbers on exactly how much people don’t like him. Cool.
