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!

Yeah, because they're gonna disappear people then release AI video of them either saying their fine or saying crazy shit.

It makes sense they'd start with her, because you know trump wants to show off his trophy wife and she doesn't give a fuck, she's never around and he gets shit for it, which makes him feel weak.

But watch the video, at least her hands. At any spot in the 5:30 video her hands don't move. There's a very slight wristbend at one point, but it's not natural and the hand stays completely fixed.

You couldn't do that if you tried.

And the background is obviously fake. Even if it's her it's a green screen to make it look like she's in the White House.

Like, yes, a million things matter more right now, it doesn't mean this doesn't matter. If we fall into that trap eventually we wouldn't bat an eye even at genocide because worse things are happening.

Well they testing this because Trump going die pretty soon and they will use this along with his Truth Social account to weekend at Bernie him at least until 2028.

Well they [are] testing this because Trump [is] going [to] die pretty soon[;] and they will use this along with his Truth Social account to ["]weekend at Bernie['s"] him at least until 2028.

Impossible! Can they get an Ai model to replicate his bizarre speaking style - the tangents, the mumbling, the autofellatic gaslighting - and not cause the Ai to collapse like in the montage of failed Robocop candidates?

No, they'll article 25 him after the two year mark so we have ten years of Vance to finish the total destruction of America.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 minutes ago

they’ll article 25 him after the two year mark

Oh. Of course they will: they'll get DJ Vance in, he'll pick Thiel as his vice (but still call him Daddy) , and if there's a country still but doesn't impeach him - it's a fine line - he'll run a decade of hate and persecution to hide the kleptocracy; and if he can get to that stage he'll exile himself to ecuador or something to live out his best blood boy retirement.

require his cooperation, or his being completely disabled

Oh. Mr Trump is NOT passing a competency challenge, be it based on mental, physical, or ethical criteria. I'm pretty sure the doddering senile fool is being groomed for this big fall - by his handlers as well as his wife and kids for their own pay-off - and I don't expect anyone to come to his defence in the slightest. The image he's presenting brings up such revulsion and hate that anyone in his orbit is just suffering the man until a demise I feel is definitely imminent.

Do you feel the Venezuelan oil piracy proceeds he stuffed into an offshore account are to hide it from the american people, or to keep it from his family?

they’ll article 25 him

That would require his cooperation, or his being completely disabled. He'll never willingly relinquish power.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 minutes ago

It doesn't need his cooperation at all, and he has been unfit since the first term. If the heritage foundation tells congress republicans to article 25 Trump they will. And the heritage foundation will.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They only really need to do it until the halfway point of this term. Then Vance can step in and is still eligible for two terms.

[–] jim@lemmy.org 1 points 9 hours ago

Well first they will cancel the midterms. Maybe because someone assassinates Trump postmortem. They will cancel the midterms (yes, just watch). And then declare martial law………. And then republicans for ~50 years.

Basically until the US Splits off into different countries of “red” “blue” and “Texas”

All of which can live with the day they voted for.

Only way to know for sure is to repeatedly Turing test him during public appearances by calling him a pedophile. Only this can elicit a human emotional response
