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

Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, calling Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “‘Wacky’ Marjorie” and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year’s midterms “if the right person runs.”

The dismissal of Greene — once the epitome of “Make America Great Again,” sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans — appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile.

The three-term U.S. House member has increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the just-ended federal government shutdown and saying they need a plan to help people who are losing subsidies to afford health insurance policies.

Is it normal that a president screams to the world that someone is "NOT MY FRIEND NO MORE, SO THERE!!" ?

[–] comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, in US it's an everyday happening. Not in countries that doesn't have a pedophile as president, but in US it is completely normal.

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

I think for Trump the correct term is Pedodent.

If we're being technical, he's not a president and never was. He's just the first Pedodent of the US

[–] logi@piefed.world 1 points 2 days ago

So he's a child's tooth? Unusual insult, but I ain't defending him.

[–] comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu 1 points 2 days ago

I don't like it either but, technically he is the president of US, and he is a pedophile. History books will be less than kind.

[–] radio@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

He's taking his ball home and he's never going to talk to you again!

[–] Secret_Music@piefed.blahaj.zone 47 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Interesting how even in the right wing world, the first ones to grow a spine and stop licking boots are women. Just an observation.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Resistance comes from oppression, and right wing communities are not friendly spaces for women. MTG has played "one of the good ones," but Trump still won't let her run for Senate. God knows what other harassment her peers impose (especially because she has been batshit in her role). She graduated from small-town nepo-baby to the billionaire crowd, and it's probably been a shock how little those people care about her opinions.

The bootlickers may see inequality, but they attribute it to fickle whims of those in power rather than any kind of system. If you believe that success or failure comes from the patronage of the powerful, then ingratiating yourself to them is a rational strategy for getting ahead.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Not just any women, though, these are the ambitious women who have achieved political success on their own, and not just as an accessory to their husbands' career. As batshit crazy as they are, they own their crazy directly.

Why does their political ambition align with a party who thinks they should all stay at home and cook meals for their men? I can't explain that. But it seems like this Epstein shit has crossed a line for them.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the cracks on maga are widening, Boebert also showing some distance, two of the most coocoo nonetheless

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not surprised that the women are the first to be pushed out by MAGA.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

All because Trump raped kids and blew Bill Clinton.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope the Republican party fractures. The more factions, the better.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hope in vain it'll never happen, these shit stains always vote in lockstep.

Republicans moving left will NOT save us.

Democrats need to move left and grab the 100 million voters sitting out because they believe neither side is doing anything for them.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't say anything about moving left. I just want to see the pro pedo factions fighting with the anti pedo factions.

[–] wellheh@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Jewish space lasers" "stepmoms aren't real moms" mtg as the anti-pedo faction... What a world we live in

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago
[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Please review the trump policy on collaborators:

Anyone who works with trump WILL be shit on. (Say it with me) No Exceptions

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

She's the shark circling closest to Trump's blood in the water. Of course he's going to target her. I hope they both have fun with that.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They'll kiss and make up, like he did with Elon, who publicly stated that Trump was in the Epstein files (I think he was guessing but it's a good guess, though maybe he did know — I mean more so than we all knew).

[–] xyzzy@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The difference is Musk and most Confederates have zero values, whereas Greene and Boebert seem to be genuinely against pedophilia.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Also Perjury Traitor Greed is not a billionaire drug addict wishing her penis was big.

That we know of.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I am reminded of Lyndon Johnson's "Better to have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in"

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Like a broken clock, trump is right occasionally by calling her a wacko. But seeing them fighting like a hostily divorced couple is a wonderful sight. Let's break out the popcorn and celebrate!
