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!

K, but he's no longer the president.

How is the current president doing?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

VERY STABLE, in all caps, apparently. Because that's how stable people type all the time. You're also not supposed to take anything he says seriously, y'know...like every other stable and speaking person. That's how that works.

[–] Gregg@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Right? Who takes what one of the most powerful people in the world says seriously? If you don’t like it it’s just a prank, bro! Comedy is so back! You’re being sent to Libya or Rwanda or El Salvador for a sketch! Why aren’t you laughing?

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (30 children)

Yep an Administration is more than just the president. It's the competent people that surround him. Instead of having a president suffering from lapses surrounded by some of the best most competent people. Now we have an idiot surrounded by sycophants and sociopaths. This is so much better/s

You’ve made 10 posts on Lemmy and 6 of them are shitting on Biden by name. 2 of the remaining 4 are shitting on Harris by name. Kind of sounds like an unhealthy obsession, in multiple ways.

Why not shit on a terrible president, and a terrible candidate that directly led to Trump getting re-elected? Maybe if the dems had been willing to call out their own, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Just a conservative pretending to be a leftist. Boring ass play from a century old script.

Warn us about what ?

I mean ... so what did Biden do as a response ?

Didn't Biden step aside instead of threatening to invade allies ?

Biden was given the same unlimited power from a SCOTUS ruling for any official act the POTUS could not be criminalized. And Biden put aside power and force for the greater good of the Republic.

But then again Biden has always been more a new Cincinnatus than a new Caesar.

[–] piefood@feddit.online 2 points 1 year ago

The same Biden who hung on desperately until the last minute? Until he was forced out after being insanely and obviously unfit for the position?

The same Biden who refused to act against when a dictatorship knocked on his front door? The same Biden who sacrificed the "good of the Republic" because he cared more about holding on to power than the cared about fighting against fascism?

People talk about Biden's mental decline as if it matters. Trump has mental decline too. One President's handlers were able to pass laws and get shit done, the others' well...
