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!

If only there was a process to remove a pedophile/addled dementia patient like Donvict from office...

instead of Project 2025, there should be a Project 25.

I still think this has been the plan all along, and the only reason they haven’t is that they are waiting until he’s finished 2 years so the couchfucker can steal 2 more full terms.

There are 4 kinds of ships in the Navy. 1) To move supplies. 2) Launch aircraft. 3) Hunt other ships. 4) Land and support troops.

Trump is introducing the 5th, Trump's No Class-Class pedo yacht. The billionaires and orange president only recreation ship complete with fully stocked bar, three swimming pools, four strip clubs, one massive casino, and a pedo hiram. The cannons are just to keep the peasants away and the guards are there to keep the slaves in, the engines run on American hopes and dreams and clean burning coal. It will be gold plated with platinum trim, led strips, and tinted windows.

This guy is a fucking Bond villain, where is James Bond when you need him.

You didn't even mention rail guns, or jet boosters.

Ah, but what about hunting other "boats". Cuase ships and boats aren't the same... most of the time.

The president portrayed the move as a boost for American shipbuilding and vowed to be personally involved in the ships’ development. “The U.S. Navy will lead the design of these ships along with me,” he said, “because I’m a really aesthetic person.”

No one is even going to have to torpedo this thing because it's going to be solid gold and immediately sink to the bottom of the sea.

Aesthetics? For a military vehicle? It's not a shitty casino Don, it doesn't matter how pretty it is, anyone with half a brain knows that focusing on appearance will only make it a worse functional vehicle.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Even for things that require purely aesthetics, he is terrible at it. Gaudy nonsense is not at all aesthetically pleasing except for trash like Taco.

Counter argument: Marvel. Huge ratings.

Can't wait until they fix the asthetics of all the stealth aircraft.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

All I can think of is The Vasa, which suffered from similar fools and a similar fate.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

And the Yamato battleship of the Japanese empire.

Building the biggest and heavily armed and armored dreadnought of the second world war, when technology pushed to using planes as a form of combat, led it to being nearly useless

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 9 points 12 hours ago

I don’t think a battleship needs a golden ballroom or bathroom, Donald. Go take your meds now.
