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!

Too bad Musk already has all of our data

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

he's got what he wants.. a wrecked government with crippled enforcement capacity of certain things, tax breaks in the pipeline, and all of our data to match with all of his data.

Quick! Somebody call Trump's attention to what happened. That petty bastard would ram new investigations through ASAP.

As much as I hate the New York Post, that is a funny front page.

Clowns, circus

Starting to look like a distraction from the introduction of de facto martial law.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

It is a distraction, but I don't think it's on purpose. These are just toxic people that eventually turned on each other.

I’ll give it a week.

TACO.

The worst break up of pride month.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I remember when we broke up the first time

Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like

We hadn't seen each other in a month

When you said you needed space (What?)

Then you come around again and say

"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me"

Remember how that lasted for a day?

I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you"

If you don't want to make a new > for every new line you can use single return and double space at the end of your lines. Like this

Line 1.
Line 2.

TIL, thank you!

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, I never believed the "Golden Dome" was going to actually be a thing, but wasn't the contract for that supposed to be going to one of Elon's companies? Is the project just off now? And follow-up question: is anything (short of scrambling some nearby jets) preventing Elon from "landing" a Falcon Heavy Rocket on the White House?

Yes, there’s 100% a “dome” around Washington DC

[–] Shootingstarrz17@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

So, the break up is official. Aww, such sad. :(

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These celebrity relationships are all the same.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's their Bradgelina name? Elonald? Donlon? Donaldon?

[–] antisocialite@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

DonElon sounds like a medical condition.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If you or a loved one suffer from DonElon, ask your doctor about Elonald today.

[–] cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

I'm sure Salman is elated.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Distraction while he invades and militarizes California.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

No more gay secs then!?

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Here’s a dime. Call someone who cares.
