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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

I like how it says liberty was born in 1776 and died in 2026

Holy shit. Poetic

Yes, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Holy shit! Imagine if it was true.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 12 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

It will be true after the midterms are cancelled / stolen / overturned.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It's going to be worse than that.

Is that something he really posted?

Not that anything surprises me anymore, but that's kinda grim...

And

My guess is he's just been told that the drones the military has been stockpiling are ready for autonomous use. The only pic with identifiable landmarks is America. He's saying he's going to do something with drones so horrible in America that we will never be able to sleep again.

That's fucked up...

Shit like this should be enough to get someone removed from office. He's depicting himself seated on a throne...

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

Agreed, this is the 10,000th thing that should get him removed/disqualify him from running for office.
