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!

In a speech carried by C-SPAN, Trump claimed to have stopped a war between Armenia and Cambodia, two small countries on different sides of Asia that have never been at war with each other.

He also settled the war between "Aberbijian" and "Albania".

Aberbijian has never invaded Albania, so he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

(Americans and geography...)

Many people don't know this, but I also settled the horrific conflict between Zootopia and Californistan that left trillions dead, just in case there are peace prize nominations being thrown around.

And he prevented the Bowling Green Massacre.

The Red Hot Furry Pepper Wars were truly a tragedy.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Bababiba and Albania" would be more correct.

Honestly I have IRL morons claiming Trump ended these wars in Azerbijan and Armenia and also in Kongo or some other African country.

Me telling them this was just Trump doing nothing and being there for the photo in the white house was not accepted.

Also apparently whataboutism by me when I ask about these wars in Ukraine and Gaza that were supposed to be ended.

Good that some people somewhere put down their rusty AKs and pitchforks for some amount of time don't get me wrong. But next level cope to say he ends wars.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

He's tried to end the war in Ukraine by pressuring Zelenskyy to surrender. And in Gaza, he's pushed to end the war by telling the Israelis to hurry up and "finish the job."

In his first term, he also ended the Afghan war by surrendering to the Taliban and selling out every Afghan who supported the previous government, handing them over for almost certain torture and execution.

The daily show skit on this was fucking hilarious.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I think most people in the world probably couldn't point to Azerbaijan on a map, so that's not really fair.

But, obviously anyone who was actually involved in resolving the conflict in that region should be thoroughly knowledgeable about the geography, culture, and history of all parties involved

[–] klugerama@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Sadly, I admit I could not locate Aberbijian on a map either.
