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!

Donald Trump wants the Navy to rip out an electromagnetic launch system and replace it with a steam one.

Once again, the dimwitted President has gone full Juggalo.

I am hereby ordering Trump's parents to unfuck and for him to be unborn.

Has about the same chance of happening...

You made my dog happy this evening. He's gleefully lapping up the mouthful of icecream I spat all over the floor laughing at this fucking masterpiece of a comment.

Now if I get my hands on a Time Machine, I have to make a decision to go back and kill Hitler's parents or kill Trump's parents.

Timing may overlap where you could use one as a club to bash the other as children, both gone in the process and then we might have universal dental in the US by now

Gotta start at the root. Trump major sucks ass but his whole playbook is based off Hitler's. Not to mention there are dozens of pundits who would be more than happy to take his place if he didnt exist

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Killing Hitler is risky. You still get WW2, then either get a cult centered on an immortal asshole or Tim Curry ruling the USSR.

We already have the cults, I’ll risk it for Tim Curry in…. SPACE!!!!

For all we know Hitlers parents might have been nice people who made a few mistakes. Fred, on the other hand...
