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!

The Jeffery Epstein Memorial Ballroom.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 13 points 16 hours ago

is expected to be completed "long before the end of President Trump’s term," the White House said Thursday.

Because he will never leave willingly.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

I'm willing to bet he's just gonna give 200 million to an associated construction company, take back like half for himself and we'll never hear about it again.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago

Will the ballroom be full of underaged girls?

That it's a distraction from the Epstein list and that the sitting president rapes women and children alike?

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 0 points 32 minutes ago (1 children)

Im so fucking sick of this. Why are you so easily distracted. Grow the fuck up and learn to pay attention to more than one thing at a time.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Fuck off pedo

Also, he's spending at least 1 billion of our tax dollars on his bribe plane.

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That they are "donating to his presidential library" afterwards... Because... reasons...

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Man, I sure hope his library is large enough to land a Boeing in it. Maybe he should get an airport for it for free as well.

Don't worry, I am sure Ted Cruz and John Cornyn thought through the logistics just like they did when saying they were going to steal the space shuttle from the Smithsonian.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

The dude who is covering the whitehouse in gold is the same dude bitching about the price of the fed building.

I'm utterly embarrassed to be a US citizen. What a shitty fucking country we live in.

[–] atticus88th@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Hit the streets this summer and protest this shit... aaaaand its over.

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I am embarrassed FOR you! Yeesh. I hope the revolution happens eventually and that it is swift… It will do the whole world good.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

Until then I’ll remain high so I don’t have to be sober (and in a lot of pain) in this shit hole

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 day ago

Don't care. Release the Epstein files.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Hope everyone remembers this and his "free" billion dollar sky palace when they are struggling to pay for groceries and get healthcare because of all his cuts.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

... he wants a palace ...

And who has palaces? Only two kinds of people have them these days....

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well well, look who's making himself a kings court. Wonder if Count Epstein will be attending
