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!

What about the Epstein files

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 61 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Guys either going to be threatening nukes or announcing a partnership with a sports betting app.

Want your chance to win $100,000? Just pick the first six cities that will get obliterated in the upcoming nuclear war. We call it the "Big Bomb Parlay"....

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I’m announcing that we will be bombing Iran tomorrow. Sign up for Polymarket today using code USA250 and receive a $50 credit towards your first bet on the number of casualties tomorrow! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER - DJT

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Could be gold plated trump internet routers. Or announcing prima nocte for Trump and Bibi for all Americans, both girls and boys. Might also be removing HIPPA from everyones medical records so AI can train on them.

Agh not the beans

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

lol. What a moron.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

No offense to OP for sharing the story but... Who fucking cares?

At best it'll be his usual rambling and incoherent televised campaign speech that we've heard 8000 times before, and at worst he'll unilaterally declare war or Canada or some shit.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

They potentially plan to announce the 2020 election was a sham and probably use that to impact any and all midterm results.

As I've constantly said...midterms will change nothing about America's current trajectory.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 2 points 52 minutes ago

For those keeping score at home, Trump has been very publicly claiming that the 2020 election was rigged since November 5th, 2020.

In fact, he even said before the election "if I lose it's rigged".

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 14 hours ago

A long time ago I did try watching at least some of his addresses because he is after all the President, but if I can’t make it through a word salad quote of him I sure as hell can’t make it through that droning, meandering McDonald’s grease lined esophagus voice thing he does.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 40 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It’s going to be elections related. To announce all the “fraud” they have found and cherry-picked to form a narrative that aligns to their “theory”.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago

And here you have it:

The Link

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

Someone ask Kash Patel what it will be about. Kash is desperate to announce anything he can so he can quit work for the day and get back to his drinking.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

His Iran war is on the escalation track. My guess is either that the U.S. will do something between now and Thursday to escalate the war, most likely some sort of ground offensive to take key locations to attempt to take control over the strait of Hormuz, or that he will make the case that it is necessary to escalate the war as part of his weak-ass saber rattling campaign. My greatest concern is that sooner or later he'll reach for the nukes, which he's been itching to do for a long, long time.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 14 points 22 hours ago

In an interview before his first term he commented that we had nukes, why not use them? The response from his supporters was that he was just kidding or talking metaphorically. The same people who voted for him because he says what he means.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 2 points 15 hours ago

most likely some sort of ground offensive to take key locations to attempt to take control over the strait of Hormu

If that was the case, once the ships that were intended to do operation that suddenly has some major malfunction or onboard-fire, he'd have to cancel his talk.

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

I've started to see an uptick in bot accounts across different platforms saying something along the lines of "lol there's no need for negotiation. if the usa really wanted to destroy Iran, all it takes is a push on 1 button. if anything trump is showing alot of restraint". So definitely building towards actually having boots on the ground if the uptick of strikes on kharg island is correct. Could also see that operation go sideways and call for full scale invasion as a false flag event.

Sundowning, put him to bed

Put the bed in the dirt

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Probably about how he believes the 2 senators from GA are illegitimate due to voter fraud.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

This is the rumblings that I've heard about online. What an ass

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Will this be another one of his stump speeches?

[–] homes@piefed.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Only in that he is a stump that speaks

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

All we know for sure is that it wont be about the Epstein rapes and murders.

And if you say anything about Melania having been a prostitute you will be sued. Thats not permitted to be talked about, fair warning to all. She had an Einstein "genius" visa, she is a scientist.

Might be about all that domestic terrorism done to the reflecting pool. Probably done by immigrants and MS13.

/s

[–] numbermess@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, this is just gonna be an event to state that something has become inevitable and that nothing can be done except to destroy [something] to save [whatever]. It will all be horseshit but it will ratchet the Horseshit Window over to always be open toward grimmer and dumber horseshit.

Keep the propaganda machine a turnin’

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

Probably interrupting Big Brother. I will try to predict the worst thing he might announce

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Is he going to announce he won Iran?
