Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.

"We're fighting wars,"
The ones you started? You're a disgrace to the integrity of the Fifa Peace prize.
That prize used to mean something and now it's irreversibly tarnished.
That's what you get when you buy your gold from Ea-Nasir Consolidated Metals Inc.
I thought they were special military operations
Freedom Actions is the correct terminology 👍
Burn in hell, you piece of shit
Don't forget the 100% tarrifs on name brand prescription drugs...
My migraine medicine cost went from $5/month to $40/month. I've taken on more expenses and my student loan payments start in two months. If my medicine costs more than it does, I can't afford it.
He really doesn't want a base of voters, does he?
pretty sure the GOP is banking on "voting" no longer being an actual thing in the near future
in other words, no, they don't give a fuck whether they have a "voter base" or not
May be the endgame. While the Southern Strategy was all about securing enough voters in a functional system through various means, the next step is just removing the voting issue altogether and gain even more power.
after they cheat their way to retaining majorities in both house and senate in these upcoming midterms, it's all over. anyone who thinks there's any chance of coming back after that is still delusional. "make sure you go out and vote!!" lol, ok...what do i do when they throw away all the ballots that aren't straight R all the way down?
personally, i think it was already all over when everyone allowed the GOP to steal the scotus nomination from obama. and THEN the GOP threw their own "rule" that they made up on the spot out the window to allow trump to nominate his third scotus justice.
everyone who is or was in a position to prevent the millions of steps require to get to this point-- they're all complicit
I don't disagree, but also I remember when the SCOTUS handed the 2000 election to Bush and ordered Florida (incidentally governed by George's brother Jeb Bush at the time) to halt the recount. They've been stealing power for a while now.
And it all comes back to Roger Stone
That motherfucker. He's been out of the spotloght for a while. I had to check if he's even still alive.
Villain dressing the part.
At this point, it is likely he doesn’t need them anymore, and around a third will support him at any cost anyway.
Apparently not.
“Humanity on a cross of iron”
In other news, Taco is a flaming asshole.
I thought we already "won" weeks ago?
WTF is this about paying more for this clusterfuck? To the tune of cutting off services that so many rely on?
People keep talking about the Trump Files so now they gotta pay for more distractions!!
As long as Trump is just going to fabricate stuff and lie to our faces, maybe next time he can just invent the entire war effort itself and not actually drop a single bomb. “We’ve destroyed China. No one’s ever seen anything like it. Totally obliterated.”
That wouldn't make all his billionaire goons money though
I mean, imagine an ~~Iranian~~ American regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting ~~terrorist groups~~ Israel and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into ~~Iran~~ America, for the people of ~~Iran~~ America, so they wouldn’t have ~~water~~ healthcare shortages, so their economies would provide opportunities for an incredible people.

House of Cards has a season where Kevin Spacey starts a fucking war to cement his position. It's literally playing out in the white house right now and I can't fathom why more conservatives aren't pissed about this.
You don't hear more conservatives complaining about this because half of them are blacked out from how hard bombing foreigners makes them, and the other half are too busy jerking it in their truck to the thought of liberals getting """owned""" at the gas pump. We live in a reality that is a parody of itself.
I think that you give them too much credit. Most are just too stupid to know what's going on.
I didn't say they weren't stupid. What I ascribed to them and their stupidity are not mutually exclusive.
More like cement shoes, in this case.
It’s not cementing his position though.
At some point, even the Republicans have to be ready to impeach this sheisty, full of shit motherfucker.
How about we cut off Trump's access to healthcare? See how long he lasts.
I'm pretty sure he already stays alive only by killing a Unicorn and drinking its blood every so often.
Hey now, Voldemort did that because he was getting revenge on his bullies. The books clearly demonstrated that Harry's dad was a total dick to Tom Riddle. Unicorns died because Hogwarts had terrible anti-bullying policies. It's like the author is pro-bullying or something.
I feel compelled to point out that it was Snape Harry's dad bullied, not Tom Riddle.
My bad. I haven't touched any of those books in ages. The ones on my bookshelf probably have mold growing on them by now. It hasn't turned me into a TERF yet so it hasn't spread to the walls of my house.
Hey sitouts: satisfied?
Guess it's time to shut down the military if you can't afford it and keep using it for class warfare against the working class majority of humanity
America first! Right after everything else.
At what point will this piece of shit be [ Removed by Reddit ] ? It's really only a matter of time with as many people as he's pissing off. The unhinged republican voters are the most dangerous, and he's getting awfully close to pissing them off.
You're not on reddit here, you can say it.
No he can't; it would violate the lemmy.world ToS. Maybe user accounts on other instances posting in communities in other instances could do it, but not that user posting here.
why say it? the information is still shared
This dudes pumped up on drugs and saying gibberish. His doctors would whistleblow on what he's on and maybe that'll invalidate his words.
Reminds me of the trope in movies where the king is ill and words are taken literally based on whoever. No surprise when they'll AI gen him after he's gone.
The fucking video player not once played what the title suggests. But he did ask them to buy oil from us. I know he lied when said we have plenty. How much do we have?
