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!

When he at some point dies, i am sure that some people will be waiting for him on the third day to come back

I cannot wait for those inevitable crazy-assed news stories. His presidential funeral will bring out the craziest of the crazies. Someone will probably be killed for not showing the appropriate sympathy (probably me, who has already ordered a T-shirt with his quote about Robert Muller on it). Then, they will have to have police outside his compound as his followers await his second coming. It’s going to be prime TV, and the world will see how utterly crazy much of the US still is.

the world is looking while the Us is gradually becoming more and more crazy. At this point, there isn't much that can surprise us any more when it comes to the US

USA: Hold my (watery) beer.

Hey our beer has gotten way better the last decade or two. It's how we wash away The Horrors

[–] HermitBee@feddit.uk 1 points 16 hours ago

Oh absolutely.

But members of the current administration do not strike me as craft beer enthusiasts.

JD Vance comes out in orange face paint and it will work.

Frog chocking on listerine voice

“He may not appear alive but that’s actually a good thing because that gives you a chance to eat enough meats and ferments up to the point that you see the truth that he actually is alive.”

“I mean the bacteria are but let’s not get lost on the details. I saw a squirrel on the road earlier, you guys up for some heatless bbq?”

My god that couldn't fit better for a nurgle cultist.

Goddamnit, I wasn’t gonna start anymore armies!

They’ll AI generate the footage and sell it to the world as facts.

The application of a stake and garlic would be very appropriate, alongside with nailing the coffin shut and dumping it into the Marianas Trench.

Trump is more demon than man, if the supernatural exists.

Well, at least the ground will be soft from all the tributes. He'll have a choice to make: rest in piss or scrabble back up through it, undead motherfucker.

I'm actually hoping for the undead scenario, because of all his kids that will be so enraged about having to wait for the estate cash that they'll just try to kill him again and again -- but before they can, they have to fight off that wife of his wanting to slurp up the undead soul out of his rotting carcass first.

That is absolutely a movie I'd watch. Or, the president can make my dreams come true, lol
