Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Maybe put some concave mirrors in front of him, just to be sure he gets enough sunlight.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 14 points 2 days ago

Trying to make his hair orange again using fire?

[–] lillardfair@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago

He should remember to keep his coat on. That's what killed William Henry Harrison

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 50 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let’s hope he gets a heat stroke, then a real stroke and then dies.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (4 children)

If he does, then we'll be left with Vance. Then all we'll have is a boring, run-of-the-mill asshole, rather than an entertaining (to make fun of) asshole.

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

jd vance is a generally disliked asshole as a opposed to trump who has a cult.

If Trump dies before the midterms of natural causes, who is gonna mobilize for MAGA? Hegseth? Ted Cruz? 🤣

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 26 points 2 days ago

That insane senility is the only thing holding MAGA together. Without their pedo in chief the current right will crumble.

If it happens before the end of the year, Vance won’t be allowed to run for a third term. So if Trump croaks as a result of this heat, Vance would only be able to be in office for (at most) six more years instead of nine or ten.

I don’t think Vance would realistically win in the next election regardless. But it would be comforting to know that if he does, it would for sure be his only full term.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

it would for sure be his only full term.

Until the supreme court rules term limits unconstitutional.

[–] kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

I am sure you can come up with some creative insults, for that couch-fucker as well.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Can't wait to not listen to it

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It'll be like his campaign speech where he just rambled on incoherently for a while, slow-danced by himself for a half-hour, then maybe ramble on a little more. That's what makes it so "long."

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Don't forget the sycophants that have to clap after every sentence.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You mean the paid-to-attend "audience?"

[–] Klear@piefed.world 10 points 2 days ago

Paid? Doubt. Promised-to-be-paid more likely.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The Jan 6 promoters can bus in thousands of fellow felons.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago

On January 5, 2021, the day before the Washington, D.C., protest that led to the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack, Kirk wrote on Twitter that Turning Point Action and Students for Trump were sending more than 80 "buses of patriots to D.C. to fight for this president".[36][37] A spokesman for Turning Point said that the groups ended up sending seven buses with 350 students.[36][38] In the lead-up to the storming, Kirk said he was "getting 500 emails a minute calling for a civil war".[39] Publix heiress Julie Fancelli gave Kirk's organizations $1.25 million to fund the buses to the January 6 event. Kirk also paid $60,000 for Kimberly Guilfoyle to speak at the rally.[40]

At least one of the promoters can't lol

Is there any evidence of this? I mean, he is an unprecedented crook in the office, but he’s also a cult leader.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean, the crowds at the Great American State Fair are a pretty good indicator. I’ve seen longer lines at my local Starbucks. The administration had really lofty attendance expectations, and forgot to account for the fact that Russian bots can’t visit the fair. This was aired on Fox News, which means it is the most flattering crowd shot they could find:

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Reminds me of the vids where people would clap for Stalin/Hitler for as long as they could until the dictators told them to stop. People were indoctrinated by fear.

Calling the unhinged bullshit that spews forth from his mouth a speech is generous.

I had lunch at a pizza place the other day while he was on the TV running his yap about some nonsense. Thankfully the sound was off. He started when we came in. We ordered some pizzas, leisurely ate, sat around for a bit and the old buzzard was still just rambling on about some shit as we were leaving.

I am 100% certain that nobody had any prepared remarks, it's not like he would have stuck to them anyway or even bothered to read. I'm pretty sure that his people just give him four adderall and a red bull, rev him up and send him out there to wander from topic to political enemy, to talking about what he had for lunch to christ knows what.

These are not speeches, these are just the unhinged ramblings of a senile angry old asshole who hasn't the decency to just die already.

[–] red_sock@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is he going to reverse Willam Henry Harrison himself?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He at least died in thirty days.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because everyone knows the quality of a speech is proportional to the length of the speech. 🙄

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The Gettysburg Address was four minutes of pure garbage.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I mean they could set up a big AC vent to blow on him from off-stage, and get an awning over the stage.

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

Now where's the recent one where his totally obvious toupee was folded over on his head

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably the only blow job he can get these days.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Bullshit. There's probably plenty of people who would be happy to lick that little button mushroom. I'm sure Ted Cruz would do it.

Good, maybe he will croak live

[–] Beehaw_Girl@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

Will be the best speech ever!!

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's going to be on video. It's hotter than hell and his handlers don't want him doing a Zachary Taylor.

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago

i haven't listened to one word from this motherfucker since he got elected again and i'm not starting now

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok but what is that text at the bottom

[–] dreamy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

TIL

Looks like me and mrmisses get to be part of the lucky 10k today.

Is there an xkcd for those who've heard of it before, but thought it was so stupid that they completely forgot about it & had to re-learn about it again (& who think it's even more stupid now, so the cycle is likely to happen again)?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

It is pretty stupid and not very funny. The numbers shown in the knowyourmeme site also shows it is not really a widespread thing, so the entry is probably created by the handful of friends which made it up in the first place.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's also going to do it at 9pm which will be ~88°, nowhere near the 100+ he was bragging about. Kinda doubt he's even going to do it outside (so the temperature won't even fucking matter).

Dudes a lying asshole.

[–] NOPper@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

AI generated dude with the lawn backdrop.

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

So it will be just a short speech as TACO

[–] Dippy@beehaw.org 3 points 2 days ago

Promises made//promises kept?

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Probably going to have some kind of climatized glass cabin. Taco.

Justification: we are the us. We have the tech. We need to show tech. Need to dominate. Thanks mandami.
