Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Let me tell you I run into my old neighbors the Hershingers at Party City of all places. They used to live in the house catty cornered to my yard next door adjacent. They were nice when I knew them but I had to put them on mute on my Faceplace page a few years after they moved away because every other thing they posted was Trump this and Musk that. You would think in the year of our Lord 2026 they would not use language like that but here it is and there they were right there in Party City buying decorations for the 4th of July and while I'm not one to gossip, the stuff they were buying was Tacky-Tacky-Tacky. We stopped to talk for a few minutes and yes the Trump Coin was the topic of the day with them. Told me they pawned all their holiday decorations back in March so they could invest in Trump Coins and they forgot to keep their stuff for 4th of July. So now here it is, the 250th year of America and they out at Party City buying American flags with the image of a shrieking bald eagle transposed over top thing was stapled to towel for Lord's sake and the damn things were already on clearance before the holiday even come. But they said after they lost all the Trump Coin holiday decorations money all they can afford is the mark-downs and damaged stuff. So I do sincerely feel bad that I called their stuff tacky. That was mean of me and presumptuous since I haven't walked a mile in their shoes.
