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!

Now dumb people on the other hand...

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Why aren't the people who love him going, "Heeeey!" Or do they know they're dumb? That would mean that Miller, Bannon, Zuck, Guiliani, Theil, etc. are being called dumb and are okay with that.

Every once in a while, even he gets something right.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Fuck yeah they don't. That dude is an ugly bag of rocks.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

He must think he really hates himself.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

No we don't

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody likes you.

Anyone who is friendly to you is just looking to use you for their own benefit. No one would willingly be around your ugly stupid stank ass if you were penniless.

Your parents didn't like you. Most of the US don't like you. Most of the world don't like you. You are cancer.

That's NOT True! I'm a Mexican Immigrant with an Undocumented Wife and I'm planning to VOTE for your for a THIRD Term if ICE lets me!

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Dumbasses adore you.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

God damn right

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

This is definitely in the "water is wet" category.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago

Is there more than a 4 second clip of this? I'm interested in hearing a bit of context before I start trolling maga people with it.

I think his recent stroke gave him a moment of clarity.

Wait no, it was just a fart.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

This should say something. Instead, his fans will basically say, “that’s why I love him!” Completely missing the joke they just made at their own expense. Or getting the joke and not caring. Which, itself, is also a joke at their expense.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

No one actually likes you. The people 'pretending' to like you, are only using you because you are a useful idiot.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So the 'Trump IQ Scale' than. We can determine someone's IQ by simply observing their approval of Trump. The more they agree the lower the IQ, the less they disagree the higher IQ. Trump himself is the reference point. Someone can maybe come up with a new way to represent it. Though we could just keep the 100 point scale, with Trump being the reference point. So we put T=0 and then you can be ± 99 from center. So someone could say "Yeah my TIQ is +73" or something. Seems like it would be more accurate than the made up IQ scale. Though some nuance to that... since a TIQ of +99 might as well be just as bad as a -99. I believe in his first term, he put for a bill around the cruelty of animals, so if you're a TIQ if +99 you're just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing and aren't taking into account what is being said/done. So the scale would be nuanced.

Depends. If they are enriched by the regime, then its actually smart (albeit evil) to align with trump. The 99% of their supporters tho, absolute idiots.
