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!

July 18 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said ​in a written statement ‌on Saturday that repeated U.S. breaches of a ​memorandum of understanding ​signed by the presidents ⁠of Iran and the ​United States had ​shown that President Donald Trump's signature was "utterly worthless and devoid ​of credibility."

That's what happens when a majority of the media is promoting fascist propaganda, because it's owned by the fascists.

HOW DARE YOU TRY TO COPY MY STYLE. If you’re gonna do it, you SHOULD at least do it WELL. You CLEARLY are a DEEP STATE DUMOCRAT (Dumb+ Democrat, I chose to take out the b, lots of people don’t know that there is b in Dumb) who deserves to be escorted out by ICE or as I’ve taken to calling it NICE because they’re great, and such a GREAT NAME will Improve their coverage for sure, the FAKE NEWS MEDIA will be saying they’re NICE. I’m reminded when I was approached by a man from ICE, but man, strong man, tears down his eyes, saying, Mr President, thank you so much for giving me the tools to stop the MURDERERS and DRUG TRAFFICKERS who had the doors opened under the LEFT WING EXTREMISTS that were in the White House before. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, PRESIDENT DONALD JEFFEREY TRUMP

TBH I never thought that it would be Iran that would be the last nation on Earth to figure this out.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If his signature is so worthless then why do corporations bribe him to put it on legislation they've written? Checkmate, Iran.

I'm finding it hard to disagree with these guys. Their takes seem much more trustable than Trump's.

Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is also a piece of shit

[–] IcePee@lemmy.beru.co 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When it comes to the current leaders of the US and Israel, when a signature is no longer trustworthy, you need to either take assets or leverage hostage.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 2 days ago

Ask North American indigenous people how much any signatures have ever meant; or any other state.

Says the guy that was personally involved with massacring tens of thousands of his own people.

There might be a better way to bring up objections to civilian ships passing through a straight than just shooting at them. But I guess killing people is the only way this psychopath knows how to communicate.

Trump sucks. Netanyahu sucks. Ayatollah sucks.
