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!

Could you imagine if Obama had done this than got the guy suspended from his job?

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 day ago

Can you imagine if he did a fraction of any of this, the detractors from the right are just made of fury and idiocy, but they would have been far more justified about something like this than a black man wearing a tan suit.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago

They said Obama was going to have DEATH PANELS roaming around killing people.

EVERYTHING they say is projection.

Say what you want about Trump, but at least he never brought shame on our country by wearing a tan suit.

If only I could boycott Ford more than I already am.

It's a popular stance, he can start a GoFundMe and not have to worry about money for a while.

Apparently there is one and it's already over 200k

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

There are at least two and the other is at nearly $90k, as of a moment ago. The fact that there are two is concerning, but if both go to him, he’s already over $300k

Ford already sucked. Since I'm in the market for a new vehicle Ford was already off the table. This doesn't change much but supports my claim.

Normalize calling out the pedo president and raking in the dough.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” he said. “And today I think I did that.”

Canceled for calling out a pedophile.

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

Their idea of Freedom of Speech means calling people racial slurs without facing any consequences and then cancelling someone for saying the inconvenient truth.

Where is his go fund me? If those Republicans can help out pedophiles and racist, we can help out a patriot!

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 20 points 1 day ago

What a guy!

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have an idea, start a go fund me to support anyone who donated in the event of reduced income due to insulting the establishment. Just don't call it a union. Call it a freedom of speech guarantee or something

I too take offense at that, the president is a pedophile himself, while also a pedophile protecter, it's his wonderful secret. Such an enigma, a child fucking enigma that israel has tapes of fucking children.
