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!

They talk out of both sides of their mouths but will still strip your rights away when they get into power. Rules for thee.

[off topic?]

Nancy Reagan was personally ambivalent about abortion but jumped in with both feet when she saw that it was popular with the GOP base. She was 100% 'Right To Life' until she found out that fetal stem cells might help her Ronnie's dementia. Then she flipped the switch.

Yeah, most right wingers are bitches to their party ideals. Then they get to walk in the shoes of another and they’re suddenly open minded… while having absolutely no guilt for what they have done.

It’s untreated mental illness. All of them.

Like when Bezos flew to space and went “wow, it really takes going to soace to truly appreciate that we’re all in this together” when a) no it fucking doesn’t you dumbass sociopath and b) you went to space and still treat everyone like garbage.

We gotta do all the physical and emotional labour for these people who’ve never had a clever idea once in their life, only the money to force mediocre ones to succeed.

Too bad it’s not up to First Lady golddigger but her rapist felon husband and his pack of deplorables, if he gets elected again.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She was a gift. Her gold digging is the least controversial part of her marriage to tRump.

Being assigned to watch an asset is not gold digging. It’s called a salary.

they truly stand for nothing

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 months ago

She can still fuck off.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is Melania running for President?

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She would be unable to run.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well then her opinion on the subject appears to be irrelevant unless she is indicating her intent to vote for the one candidate on the ballot who will protect a woman's bodily autonomy.
