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!

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Sight lines.

[–] TotalCourage007@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Bet you he asked good 'ole grok how to appear dominant over Epstein files.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 82 points 4 days ago (2 children)

"What are you trying to build?" one reporter shouted.

"Missiles," Trump responded, presumably joking. "Nuclear missiles," he repeated while making the gesture of a rocket launching.

Trump then ignored a question on Gaza and walked back inside.

If someone wrote this into a script, they would have gotten fired

[–] thehowlingnorth@lemmy.ca 42 points 3 days ago

presumably joking

This sane washing is gonna get us all killed.

[–] ryokimball@infosec.pub 32 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

... This is one of those comments where I'm sure it's a joke until the last bit, and now I am obligated to actually open the article and find out.

E: yep, there it is at the very bottom.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 45 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Totally unrelated. But I just learned that the longest sniper kill ever recorded was 3.5 kilometers....

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Careful, gonna get yourself on a list..

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bruz we are all on a list.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

He’ll even I’m on a list

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

I'm probably already on several.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago

I know they don't need directions to the Whitehouse

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Falling off a roof works too.

[–] Envy@fedia.io 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thats cool. Release the Epstein files.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 days ago

Turns out, the files are not on the roof. I would check the bathrooms and pool closets.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 days ago

What a splendid day to be on the roof, Mr. President. Now, pray tell, what's your involvement on the Epstein files?

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 18 points 4 days ago

Omg he's going to commit.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago

WTF? Yeah sure, I want to see receipts.

Trump said it was "Just more ways to spend my money," adding "Just more ways to spend my money for the country."

"Anything I do is financed by me," he stressed.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

Reminds me of a film called The Magnificent Three

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Lookin for Jimmy and Willy's spent roaches. Or some Obama solar panels to tear off in spite.

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago

Ok that's getting out of hand. How comes an old dumb fart's roof walk is in the news.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago

to bad he did not take the fast way down.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Seems like another addition he thinks pairs with a ballroom.

[–] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He's planning out where to build the new McDonalds concession

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

A food court is genuinely possible.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

Reaching fascism via dementia, just incredible

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

The only thing thats predictable about Trump is he will lie, and be unpredictable. Some days I legit think he's literally lost his mind, just a husk of a person being weekend at bernies strode around with strings on his hands..

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Probably trying to fight off the flak he gets because he can't ever be in public without hiding behind bullet proof glass. 'See I wandered on the roof like a fucking lunatic, unnanouced for 3 minutes, in such a big, brave, boy!'

In all seriousness though, he must be trying to get killed. Such an easy shot.
