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!

President Donald Trump gave Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem the cold shoulder as he went around the room touting his top officials on Thursday. The DHS secretary was in attendance for Trump’s Cabinet meeting at the White House, but the president did not call on her to speak or even acknowledge her presence there. Noem looked grim-faced as she listened to her colleagues.

That's what loyalty to Trump gets you. Do they never learn?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

Some of them learn after their faces are eaten. You also get situations like MTG where they see the leopard coming, know what’s up, and pretend to change sides.

There's always another rube waiting in the wings.

Like a Rube Goldberg machine.

When did US politics turn into a soap opera?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The dude was literally a reality gameshow host. A position traditionally occupied by comedians, which were traditionally clowns.

Clown elected, circus commencing.

I'm going to guess around the invention of television.
