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!

Are the dumbasses finally getting their China phone? Did the pedophile go to China to spank some children to get the assembly line going? I'll say this, aside from the stupid red hats, you'll definitely know who's a moron when they pull out their phone.

When are the Epstein files gonna ship ffs.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 4 points 2 weeks ago

That’s the neat part, they have aboit as much chance of shipping as the trump phone!

And if it does it's going to be expensive while being lowest quality and specs ever and riddled with spyware.

morbidly curious to have a chat with someone dumb enough to buy this phone and understand why they like having their money stolen by a known conman

[–] credo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It will probably have a physical, one-touch, “donate now” button, right next to the volume buttons.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, the volume buttons will also act as "donate now" buttons. And any app always starts with the volume set to max...

It would be like asking someone who practices judo if they feel stupid when they get bruised in a match, or asking a marathon runner if they feel stupid when they are exhausted after a race.

The people they hate most hate Trump. Therefore anything that is good for Trump is good.

Look at all the people who go to wrestling matches and root for the bad guy. Same mentality.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Let me guess, it'll start shipping in two weeks?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, I'm happy they're going forward with it. I want to see just how bad this phone of theirs ends up being.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Such an obvious scam. They promise high end hardware, then delay several months until 'high end' becomes 'mid or entry level', buy the lower costnhardware and harvest the difference.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

made in the US changed to made in china as well

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Designed with American values in mind

[–] elvith@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

American values

$$$$$$$$$

Old high end phones are much better than new low end even after a few years. They are definitely not getting high end components.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

They needed the time to find the lowest bidder.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm ok with this because now instead of just losing the $100 deposit the dipshits who bought into this are going to lose hundreds more.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Im wondering how many people who put a deposit down are actually just reporters. I don’t know anyone in real life who has and I live in a red state.
