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!

Bravo TJ! Fuck Ford for allowing a felon, pedophile and rapist on their property.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 hour ago

Ford, founded by an OG Nazi sympathizer, now firing an opponent of a modern Nazi sympathizer. The circle is now complete.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 hour ago

Sunshines true facts can actually score a win against the revolting malignant narcissist.

[–] Tiger_Man_@szmer.info 11 points 2 hours ago

he's not a pedophile protector, he's just a pedophile

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I'm fine waiting for 4 years to pick up whatever is left of our society if Congress doesn't have the balls to impeach this guy back to ruzzia, but I want to see legislation introduced to specifically ban anyone who is a racist asshole from ever taking office at any level in our government. What is happening is not acceptable.

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Fuck 4 years. He's already proven that the American people need to mussolini the mango.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 hours ago

As someone who's neck is potentially on the chopping block in the regime, can we not with the "these Nazis are so gonna get it in 4 years" shit? It absolutely screams "this doesn't effect me but I want the other liberals to know it upsets me a little bit"

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If I got to piss off that orange rapist you could suspend me too. Heck, I'm a straight man, but you could sodomize me with a pineapple in exchange for getting a solid punch in his face.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure I know of any queer people with this specific kink either you know

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah, I think the thought went on sort of a little walk there. It started out by just getting good ol' regular sodomized, but then the thought stumbled over "Inguess getting a dick in my output port isn't bad enough, to convey the intensity of my desire for punching the dude in his stupid lying face" thus we end up with me getting a pineapple up my rectum.

But then again we shouldn't rule anything out, rule 34 and all

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 24 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

The guy has two gofundmes right now:
TJ Sabula is a patriot!! at almost 481k
Support Ford Worker TJ Sabula during suspension at 330k
Guy's almost scoring a million!

Why do both have "donations paused"?
More importantly, how can one be sure the money will actually go to him?

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

TJ said he stopped both of them because it was already too much money and to donate to other causes. A TRUE patriot!!

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Its not! I hope he pays his house and finds a better job. Paying off your house to stop being a slave is the American dream.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

He will not struggle to find work. I'd hire him in an instant already and i don't even know his work ethic. He has the confidence and intelligence to call out the pedophile president like that, he is a good candidate.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 hours ago

That man has more decency, honour and accountability than the great majority of your political apparatus.

[–] duffmen@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago

So it will be not a Ford for me. People like that should get up in ranks.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So I guess we can add Ford to the list of pedophile protectors.

[–] shredslen@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They've been nazi lovers for a loooong time.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago
[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Where are the freeze peach warriors when you need them?

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

TJ Sabula shout “Pedophile protector!” at Trump, before the president responded with a middle finger and a “f*ck you”

Pre-Trump, a President would have to resign with such a behaviour…

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

LBJ wouldn't.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

But he was wrong. Trump IS the PedOTUS, not just the protector.

[–] updn@lemmy.ca 18 points 20 hours ago

Dude is my hero and is getting rewarded with money and it warms my heart.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Champ.

Apparently he's already net 300k via contributions from other patriots.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean he did essentially lose his job over this, I'm glad the people are supporting him because the worse alternative is that his family falls into poverty for standing up against evil

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I could just imagine some rando touring the White House, and they stumble across him. They start out so excited. Go in saying:

Oh wow! Look at that! It's the president! It's great to me you, President Pedophile. Oh. My mix up. I mean, President Insurrectionist. Oh fuck, slip of the tounge! I'm just so nervous. Ha-ha! President Trump! It's a pleasure to meet the Rapist-in-Chief. Oh fuck. There I go again.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 231 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dude needs to open a gofundme for that one. I'd give him ten bucks for the delivery of what many of us think.

[–] enkille@lemmy.world 161 points 1 day ago (17 children)

Current status is on hold. Wonder if GoFundMe will try to pocket all the money and find a BS excuse to not get in trouble with the government.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 119 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Holy shit dude made 220k from this. Good on him for not being afraid to speak up.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

480k and counting

Every single Ford employee needs to call Trump a pedophile protector now. They can't fire everyone.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

You... Don't know Ford, do you?

Read up on Ford in Detroit. They will absolutely ruin lives. 💯

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago

Uhh I hate to break it to you but Henry Ford actually passed away a while ago. Sorry you had to find out like this.

If you fire someone for mocking the prez, you're the asshole.

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 82 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Trump is literally a pedo protector. We all have eyes.

Ford are fash sympathizers, who could've guessed

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah he's only suspended and a union member. I heard that the suspension will likely be short (3 days was the figure someone in the same union said on the other site). I'm sure we'll hear all about it if he is actually fired.

Mad props to him for seeing his opportunity, realising it was once in a lifetime and grabbing it with both hands.

You know how you can identify weak childlike leaders?

This. This is a sign of a petty weak person.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.myserv.one 105 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Trump is not just a protector he is a Pedophile.

Wait? Suspended? Why?

What did he do that was wrong?

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 73 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (16 children)

Ford is complying with dear leader while dear leader is actively fucking Ford by cutting trade with Canada.

I used to work in automotive manufacturing. The amount of parts to build cars cannot come from just America. It's impossible.

Trump is beating the shit out of Ford and they're just standing there asking for more.
