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!

🤨 🤔 🤷‍♀️

Domes would totally protect us from all of of the government drones that have been flying around for the past couple hundred million years or so. Also turbines and cats. I like cats.

The world is only 2024 years old. Read a colander, maroon!

What about some kind of curtain? Make it with something strong like iron?

Dumb "Dome" Donny... an entire book of nicknames is waiting to be published.

Ok Davros, calm yer tits before you go suggesting we genetically mutate our whole race into a bunch of hateful squids in tin cans trying to EXTERMINATE the rest of the universe. 😒

This is not The Simpsons Movie nor Crysis 3.

And voting Democrat protects us from Trump's neurosyphilis!

"We’re going to have the greatest dome ever," he continued.

I swear, this guy talks like a seven-year-old child. Guess that's what his supporters understand.

My planned d&d setting that took place in a country on the brink of invasion that turns to a magical dome for protection and the fallout from the total isolation from that decision feels a lot less fun now.

We are living in the worst timeline

[–] bop_bimmy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Simpson's did it.

Giant dome over Mar a lago, his TV room in the White House, and the nearest McDonalds. That's what he means.

Imagine thinking the U.S. doesn’t already have one hell of an anti-missile defense system. No one has launched a rocket at the U.S., but if they did, that shit would absolutely get intercepted

This looser did not even manage to build a wall at the Mexican border (and failed to make the Mexicans pay for it). And now he wants to build a f-ing dome?

[–] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Show the video, not this voiceover bollocks

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Maybe if Trump is placed outside of said dome.
